My Philosophies of Education

I believe that every child will be somehow first is to rule the world as what this quotation says that “Give me an infants, well informed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I’ll guarantee to take anyone at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select- doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief; and yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors”- Watson. Totally, we cannot predict the future but there’s one thing for sure every child has its own destiny with regards to the future. Whatever the child will become in the future he/she will always be a member of the society and he/she can rule the world whatever work he/she have. Even a vendor is a work for it is a noble and can be shows to the world. Second, they should not be deprived when they wanted to play as what William Thackerey quoted that “Life is what you make it”. Every child wants to play then you should have allowed them but with limitations and not totally depriving them because playing is what a child thinks that it’s life. And third, a child should feel that he/she is loved by the person around him/her as what a quote in procetiveparenting.net Sharon Silver says that “The way to see how wonderfully your child is behaving is to see how he/she is behaving in school, at church, or at a friend’s house. Kids are supposed to misbehave at home, that’s where they feel safe”. Every child has different characteristics and behaviors, for them to feel that they are important they need understanding from adults and so, adults should know how to control their patience because they first know that a child is very nagger.

            According to Joyce A. Myers “Teacher can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges”. We occasionally heard this line in our daily living, “Nurses, Lawyers and Doctors are none if there was none teacher in the first place”. So, it’s clearly and justifiably that a teacher is an agent of change because he/she makes an ordinary person becomes extra-ordinary. Teaching is a profession that creates another profession. Second, a teacher should build a good relationship to others especially to his/her students and co-teachers. As what written in The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers Article XI Section 2 The Teacher as a Person stated therein, “a teacher shall place premium upon self-respect and self-discipline as the principle of personal behavior in all relationships with others and in all situations”. And third, a teacher should be one of God’s servant to make the students live morally, intellectually and spiritually as what stated also in The Code of Ethics for Professional Teacher Article XI Section 4 says that “A teacher shall always recognize the almighty God or being as a guide of his own destiny and of the destinies of men and nations”. In the eyes of the students and almost of the population sees that the teacher is perfect and can be trusted- a very wonderful feeling that the public purely trusted the teachers so we should not waste and be proud of it.

            For me, being one of the teachers soon, I believe that my task as a teacher is first, to shape the children for becoming a total person. As what stated in The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers Article VIII Section 2- A Teacher and a Student has said that “A teacher shall recognize that the interest and welfare of learners are his first and foremost concern, and shall handle each learner justly and impartially.” And so, I will not discriminate my with what talents and skills do they have. Second, I will equally and justifiably give grades to my students as what also stated in The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers Article VIII Section 6 stated that “A teacher shall base the evaluation of the learner’s work on merit and qualify of academic performance.” As a teacher someday, I will give the students a grade based on their performances with no other bases. Lastly, my task as a teacher is to understand the different personality of my students and I should make a way on how to handle them. Okay, when we talk about personality in a relation to this, we can also talk about cultural diversity. Multicultural Diversity: A challenged to global teachers. Diversity or differences among students have placed greater demands to teachers in today’s schools. Students may differ in race which is commonly indicated by the color of skin. (Book: The Teaching Profession, Purita P. Bilbao, Ed.D, Brenda B. Corpuz Ph. D) Different cultures have different traditions and probably having different characteristics and personality. So, as a teacher it is my task to know first my students and after I will then make a way or strategies on how to handle them. I will teach them fairly. I will assure that everyone can feel that they are part of the classroom.
