ICYMI: Some public school teachers have taken to calling themselves “solicitors general” or “professional beggars,” as they are left with little choice but to seek donations in cash or in kind to prepare classrooms for the Aug. 22 opening of classes.

The statement drew wry smiles from members of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers in the National Capital Region.

While the no-solicitation policy seems sound, the lack of resources leaves school teachers with no recourse but to seek help from friends, parents and alumni, Bernardo said. “Stakeholders, especially politicians, when they know that schools would conduct Brigada, they would tell us to go to their offices because they would give [assistance],” she said, adding that these include in-kind or monetary donations.

The amount of resources is computed based on the price of materials donated to the school, the teacher said.
