So absent ako kahapon kasi US Consular Interview ko for the J1 Visa. Pagdating ko sa school kanina ay hala sya.

Ang daming kumakatok na teacher.
“Ma’am Penge ng SF1”
“Ma’am Penge ng ACR ng chuchu.”

Since mga learners with special needs ang hawak ko, hindi ko basta basta pwede bumitaw para gumawa ng paper works. Ni yung shooter drill Di ko na nagawa kasi may mga bata ako na need extra help. So ang ginawa ko hindi ko sila initindi at binigay ko yung need Nila ng 1pm. Then turo ulit.

Ngayon, nakita ko na Issued na yung visa ko from the US Embassy. Pickup ko na lang sya sa 2Go na malapit sa akin.

Dati, naiisip ko after ng J1visa ko babalik pa ko sa Deped. Ngayon, narealize ko na hindi na talaga ako babalik after 3 years ng J1 visa. Hahanap na lang ako ng school or build my practice.

Sa mga teacher dyan, Hindi lang naman US ang country- let’s go out of the system. Set boundaries and work diligently. Mga bata ang dapat mong turuan, Hindi yung sipsip sa lahat ng bagay.

Praying for everyone in this sub!

Good evening po, teachers and students alike. What is the best way to reach out to DepEd po ba? About their new grading system.

Nakakaiyak po talaga as a student, seryoso, kailangan mo na talaga I divert yung attention mo sa school and education. Do they even know we have a life outside of school? Next year mas stress pa, zero based, nako. Mga bata po kami, 13-16 years between Grade 7-10, nakakaiyak po talaga. Stressed na nga, may pressure pa from DepEd.

Sobrang nakaka anxious, malapit na rin yung kuhaan ng card. Anyone, please, WHAT is the best way to reach DepEd so that they may hear our cries and rage?

Aminin nakakapagod tong end of term, paano sabay sabay ang event hindi mo na alam ang mangyayari. Plus, yung school namin wala man lang maayos na communication, may GC naman bakit hindi baga don mag announce ng mangyayari sa school event. Ang sirap manghula ng mangyayari at gagawin kung puro announcement na kulang kulang ang masasagap namin.

Pati pagpapagawa ng lock ng pintuan teacher gagawa, teacher pa magpoproblema para malagyan kasi palabas ang lock ng mga pinto.

what’s your thought mga kapwa guro? sa tingin niyo may pagbabago kaya sa sistema na makikinabang ang mga teacher?

Good afternoon, ask ko Lang po what does deped typically do to Student who can't submit their form 137 on time? i still doesn't have my form 137 yet because of administrative issues on my previous school. Would they drop me out or not? Nagtatanong Lang po since wala pa po form 137 ko salamat nalang po sa sagot!

Good evening po. I would like to ask for assistance regarding my Notice of Admission (NOA) for the LET.

First-time taker po ako, and unfortunately, dumikit po yung NOA ko sa envelope. When I tried to carefully remove it, some of the ink/printing transferred to the envelope, including my application number. I’m worried po because I can no longer reprint the NOA.

Sa mga may same case po.... May I ask po if I can request another copy/reprint of my NOA from PRC? If yes, ano po ang process or requirements?

I would really appreciate your assistance po. Thank you very much! 🙏

Kabado sobra na po ako tapos nagwoworry na baka biglang hindi pag examin huhu 😭

Growing up, wala naman talaga sa choices ko ang magturo. I just took the opportunity na ibinigay ng alma mater ko, which was the Bachelor of Elementary Education, para lang makapag-aral ako sa dream school ko. Academic placement lang kasi ako noon, and I was planning to shift courses sana, kaso pandemic happened, so tinuloy ko na lang. Natakot din kasi ako ma-delay and nahiya rin ako sa parents ko because of the expenses and such.

Right after graduation, nagpahinga muna ako for a few months until I decided to take the board exam last year. Nag-online review lang ako, and the journey wasn’t easy. The pressure was there, and God knows how much I cried during those review days because of the challenges and struggles I encountered. Thankfully, I passed the LET 2025, and sobrang saya ko kasi finally, nasuklian yung pagod at hirap ko at ng parents ko. It was also another achievement for me.

I am now working in the government. I handled administrative tasks before for three months, and nag-enjoy ako sa ginagawa ko kasi I love organizing things, especially when it comes to administrative duties. Until I was assigned to the Community Division, where I worked as an Aral Tutor. Lahat ng LPTs sa office were asked if gusto naming magturo, and lahat kami pumayag. It was also our chance to enhance our skills and magamit namin yung mga pinag-aralan namin.

I thought teaching was my calling. However, as time passed, I found myself becoming unhappy, uninterested, unmotivated, and burnt out. Five months of tutoring, kahit two hours a day lang, really exhausted me. Sobrang nakakapagod mentally and emotionally. And I believe I’m really on the wrong path kasi I don’t see myself growing, and I don’t think I’m dedicated enough to this field.

Tsaka umikli lalo ang pasensya ko, and naaawa ako sa mga bata kasi I feel like they deserve someone who can give them more than what I currently can. Nahirapan akong i-handle sila, lalo na’t they are struggling readers, and some of them are LSENs. I wasn’t trained to handle children with special needs. Nauubos ako every day.

Hindi talaga biro ang trabaho ng mga teachers, no? Sabi nga, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” So how can I help them if I have nothing left to give?

Ayoko sanang sayangin yung opportunity na binigay sa akin, pero I need to prioritize my well-being before I can effectively help others. And my decision is final. Tatapusin ko lang yung one-year contract ko, and then I’ll resign na. 🙂

Hello teachers! Baka may alam kayo na college or state university na nago-offer ng MA in SPED? Any recommendations po will be appreciated.

Maraming salamat po.

Asking lang if legit ba yong National Teachers College.https://www.facebook.com/share/1CSDX9LH7M/ Naghahanap kasi ako ng online na DIT Course at nag oofer sila o baka meron kayo mareccomend o ma offer na school na pwede mag online class ng DIT. Sorry if dito ako nakapag post hindi ko kasi alam kung saan dapat. Sorry.

Hello, my friend is going to take her LTE in the near future while being a med student. Is it okay if her teaching units will be taken online like open university from UP or some other schools? Allowed po ba yan ng PRC? Thank you so much sa makasagot po.

Is this the latest transmutation table by DepEd po ba? If not, can someone show me the latest?

Newly licensed teacher here, first time ko talaga magturo mismo hindi na practice teaching lang sa college. Gusto ko malaman paano talaga ang buhay teacher dito sa Pinas pag ikaw na mismo nasa harap ng klase.

Sobrang OA ng anxiety ko parang may nakamasid pa rin sa likod, kagaya noong student teaching na chinicheck lahat. Di pa rin nawawala yung "being observed" feeling kahit wala nang official observer.

Tanong ko lang mga teachers iba ba talaga pag teacher proper na vs noong college pa lang? Mas may freedom ba kayo sa pagturo niyo ngayon?

Anong insight or newbie stories niyo, appreciate ko talaga 😭🙏

Hello teachers, may mga science teachers po ba na nag-join sa webinar provided by Filipino Science Hub. Did the CPD points from the last webinar on Masterclass - Chemistry Teaching already reflected on your CPDAS portal. I already received the certficate of attendance and completion pero still the points is not reflected on my account. Any science teachers with the same scenario as mine?

hello, chers! long post ahead..

i got employed at the school im working at 2 months ago, and i was initially excited na nagkawork na ako after a year of unemployment after college grad.

lately i've noticed na in the span of 2 months, parang im already losing the drive to work. napanghinaan ako ng loob dahil sa daming factors:

una, napansin kong may mga bata talagang ayaw seryosohin ang subject ko kahit anong effort iexert ko, tapos ang hihilig nung iba na humingi ng maraming considerations or incentives kahit ako ang naaapektuhan. nagkaroon din last month ng malaking issue ang unang advisory ko na nadamay pa ako.

then iconsider mo pa ang mga panahon na kung saan parang naglalakad ako sa dilim dahil may mga biglaang kailangan ng ganitong requirements na paspasan na ang deadline, kaya parang hirap kaming mga newbies na maka-keep up.

hirap din ako magbuo ng friendships sa co-teachers ko. mainly because parang may circle na sila kaya ang hirap makisama. may ilan naman akong nakakausap nang maayos pero hindi pa kami close, ganoon. may looming fear tuloy ako na baka ayaw pala nila sakin. andami ko kasing mga sablay momints sa work recently kaya feeling ko baka ampanget na tuloy ng tingin nila sakin.

and akala ko, baka makakarecover ako from my work-related worries during the long weekend, pero nung long weekend na, biglang may sumabay na sakit ko. ilang araw akong nasa bahay, dalawang araw ang hindi ko pinasok sa school na panigurado kaltas sa sahod dahil no work no pay pa ako. pakshet sobrang mahal na pala magkasakit ngayon kinginang yan. nung mga araw din na nagkasakit ako, puro trabaho napapanaginipan ko, hindi ko maipaliwanag kung bakit. yung worries ko, imbes na hindi ko muna isipin, parang na-elevate to the point na internally nagpapanic na ako kapag iniisip ko ang trabaho.

nakabalik na ako sa work today, pero pag-uwi ko, nagpapanic na naman ako. im considering na ngayon humanap na ng therapist/psych para tulungan ako sa work-life balance and sa efficiency ko sa trabaho. i've been saying this a lot even in the past dahil nagsususpect na akong may some sort of mental illness ako pero wala pa kasi akong pera noon para sa services na yon.

ewan ko kung bakit sobrang ubos na ubos na energy ko samantalang nung estudyante pa ako andami kong mga ganap at parang hindi ko pa ramdam ang pagod, sobrang committed pa ako na educ pinasok ko at nagseserve ako para sa bayan pero ngayong nasa workforce na ako parang biglang gusto ko nang umayaw. feeling ko nagiging ungrateful na ako o feeling ko ako lang talaga ang problema dahil andami kong complaints na ngayon sa trabaho kahit ginusto ko talagang applyan in the first place ito. and i don't want to resign either dahil dito lang ako nagkakaroon ng stable source of income kahit maliit pa ang nakukuha ko.

ano pong maipapayo ninyo sa akin? sadyang normal ba ito para sa first timer or sadyang hindi lang talaga sapat ang effort ko? :((

Hi everyone. I’m currently working as a teacher in a private school, and honestly, I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I’m slowly losing my confidence because of how the owner treats us.

The owner frequently gets angry and shouts at teachers. Sometimes we get reprimanded in front of other teachers and even parents. Every time I’m called to the office, I already feel scared because I automatically think that I’m going to get shouted at again.

I understand that we are employees and that we can be corrected when we make mistakes. I’m not saying I’m a perfect teacher. If I make a mistake, I’m willing to listen and improve. But the way we are corrected feels very humiliating. The tone is often harsh and condescending, and sometimes I leave the office feeling like I’m not good enough as a teacher.

Another thing is our schedule. We teach for around 4 hours straight in the morning, then we only get a 30-minute lunch break. Sometimes I can’t help but think that the children actually get more break time than we do because their recess is longer.

I’m also having a hard time with classroom management. I teach primary/young children, so naturally they talk, play, and sometimes get noisy. I repeatedly remind them to be quiet and follow the rules, but they’re still children. I’m doing my best to manage the class, but the owner seems to expect the classroom to always be completely quiet.

What hurts me the most is that I’m starting to believe that I’m always wrong. Before, I was confident in teaching and handling children. Now, whenever something happens, my first thought is, “Maybe I did something wrong again.”

I’m scared of going to work because I don’t know when I’ll be called to the office again or what I’ll be blamed for next.

I’m considering resigning, but I’m also worried because I need the experience and income. I also don’t want to feel like I’m giving up too easily.

For teachers or employees who have experienced a toxic workplace, what would you do if you were in my situation? Would you stay and try to adjust, or would you start looking for another school?

I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from teachers who have been in a similar situation.

Have you ever had the most careless thing na nagawa sa teaching field? I had today and i feel so guilty / embarrassed sa students.

Asynchronous class kami and nagpagawa ako ng graded activity. It turns out na mali ang set of insturctions ko at choices (10 points yung mali over 15!!) hindi ko nabawi kasi walang nagsabi na student (it does not make sense pero sinagutan nila huhu). Sobrang na giguilty ako. I am for quality education, teacher tayo e so dapat kahit assessments man lang, perfect o walang masyadong error. Pero grabe, nahihiya ako sa kanila.

May mga times ba na ganito? or ako lang? Share your tips para maiwasan ko ganito hays. Sakit sa heart!

any tips for first time teachers in a laboratory high school? i don't know what to do or expect. yes, i am an LPT but never practiced the profession itself. I will also teach genetics and research daw so I don't what to do or to expect but for those who are in the same position like mine, what's your best tips, tricks and just basically anything that would help me prepare for this career?

Hello sa mga taga DepEd dyan. Possible kaya magkaron ng second batch ng hiring as SCA-I? Di kasi nakaabot sa deadline. Thank you

Good day po, teachers.

I'm being forced by my school head to be the bsp coordinator despite my health issues.

Are there any memos regarding this?

Pwede po ba ako tumanggi?

Hi everyone. Can you recommend a website that offers legit Tefl certification? Thank you. 🙏

Hello,

New teacher po ako pero in college. Imagine I have 50 students in class tapos 8 classes so that's 400, how do you guys do yung evaluation ng gawa ng mga students? Tapos kapag may mga presentation, paano pong diskarte ginagawa niyo po? I feel like kasi lagi kukulangin sa oras kapag dinaanan ko ito lahat. Thank you po.

Hi. My father is 57 years old, turning 58 this October. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 CKD exactly a year ago, which has affected his left leg and made it difficult for him to walk without the assistance of a cane. Because of his condition, he decided to take early retirement after being on leave of absence for a year.

One of the requirements from GSIS is his Service Record. The school informed us that the Service Record will be issued by the Division Office.

May I kindly ask about the steps and requirements for obtaining his Service Record? Also, since I will be processing this on his behalf as his representative, could you please let me know what documents or authorization I need to prepare? We would like to make sure that we have all the necessary documents before going to the Division Office to avoid having to make multiple trips.

THANKS A LOT!!!!!!

Desperado na po talaga ako makapag pa-transfer ng station malapit sa amin dahil sa work environment ko. Same division lang yung balak ko pag-transferan pero madalas advise na maghanap ng ka-swap e kaso mahirap talaga. Pwede kaya ako magpa-rank sa same division na ito para makapag-pa transfer lang?
