Teaching in the Philippines

Indeed, teaching does not guarantee learning. For anyone could possibly learn something without having been instructed by a teacher. This, however, is not to say that a teacher need not mind if he/she fails to teach his/her students. If a teacher would depart from the assumption that no learning could possibly take place in class if the teacher will never teach well enough, chances are one's teaching shall become more effective. Using this assumption as a teaching guide in the Philippines, however, is nothing like a walk in the park owing to the over-sized classes that both the private and public schoolteachers are handling every year. If one is truly an effective teacher in the Philippines, then he/she must really have an impossibly deep sense of duty to his/her students and vocation/profession.
