It was just another humid day, my uniform soaked in sweat, a week's worth of students’ files on my table. Our room was not fully air-conditioned or ventilated, which made us perspire a lot.
Then the clincher: We were told to take our things and evacuate the faculty rooms because they were going to be converted into a journalism training office, school-based management office, guidance office, learning resource management and development office, and sports and arts office. I was finally able to sit alone for a while after entertaining my students’ concerns. I browsed the latest news on my cellphone. I saw reports on how DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones said that teachers should reflect on teaching as a passion, and not a profession to gain more money.
Some would say that the government already provided us the kind of income that could support us economically. But if you sit down and make computations, you will see that it is not enough, especially if we have a family to support, and given the fact that the prices of commodities in the market are skyrocketing.
Plus, does the government even acknowledge all the real tasks assigned to teachers? We are also doing the jobs of other agencies. Whenever certain government offices need assistance for their programs and projects for students, the tasks are given to us so that they have something to write in their reports.
