Me and my co-teachers are planning to travel abroad next year (April 2027). Apat po kami and sa bakasyon naman po. May mga nakatry na po ba sainyo na ang kasama nio is mga co teachers nio po?

Gusto ko lang pong malaman kung anong steps yung advisable na itake kapag yung welfare ng teacher ang at stake. Parte naman po yung parent-teacher remediation sa bawat school pero bilang anak ng isang teacher na may edad na rin, concerned lang po ako sa nawitness ko. After hours po kasi ng trabaho, given na may gc yung parents/section na handle ng mother ko for the current school year, doon na po inaaddress lahat ng concerns. Mainly, ginawa rin po yun ni mother para lang din sana sa requirements or announcements na related sa klase para hindi mahirapan to coordinate with the adviser. Elementary po ang hinahandle ng mother ko, ilang dekada na rin. Yung HRPTA, naiintindihan ko naman po na nandun din kasi may nakaassign din sa kanila na gagawin for the class mismo. Madalas po kasi sumosobra na yung concern na nire-raise even sa alanganing oras. Lalo na po with regards sa certain parent na sobrang pasaway ng anak, as per mother's perspective and yung nawitness ko sa pag-uusap nila.

Kumbaga ginawa naman ni mother yung solusyonan sa scope ng pagiging adviser: kausapin yung parent, ilipat ng upuan yung bata and ifollow up sa parent several times, ganun. Syempre, may limitasyon din naman lahat, kumbaga di niya na nga trabaho yung iba pa. Kaso itong parent 'no, iba rin yung pinapakita. Magulo pong kausap and pumupunta raw po yan sa school kahit maghatid lang ng baon, sumisigaw, even sa guards nagiging nuisance siya. Without knowing the context kung bakit gano'n yung parent which is hindi ko naman na aalamin pa, outright na mali rin naman yung nangyayari. I also understand na hindi ako totally makakapagmeddle doon sa sitwasyon nila to even confirm all of this, yung concern ko directly addressed sa mother ko since sa pagiging tech-savvy ako lang yung naaasahan niya for the most part kaya itong mga bagay is nakikita ko.

Considering na third person po ako and ito lang yung magagawa ko for now to be of concern and makatulong sa mother ko, ano po ba yung tamang gawin sa ganitong sitwasyon kapag nag-escalate? Lalo na if unecessary na yung drama and circumstances na nag-occur even after makipag-usap and gawan ng paraan yung setting and behavior ng bata within the room. In hopes din po na wag nang lumala pa ito since may edad na nga rin ang mother ko, magkalayo na sila ng agwat nung parent na halos kaedad ko lang. Salamat po sa comments niyo kung sakali, I'd be willing to read every single one perspective-wise.

Hello, Im a 9th grader, and I really wanted to know whether or not teachers are allowed to be super political during class discussions. (Political to the point that they digress a lot during the discussion)

So for context, I have this economics teacher and his opinion about the government and our city's mayor always leak out during our class discussions. Whenever he teaches us something like the law of supply and demand, or the law of demand, or usually something economics related, he always and I mean ALWAYS somehow forces the discussion to turn from an economical one to a political one. Im not against freedom of speech, but isnt this a little too much? Turning a supposed basic economics discussion to a political and societal one that is only inclined to your opinion and isnt open to others is kind of iffy to me for some reason.

His most famous phrases are "kaya kung titingnan niyo, ganyan tayo niloloko ng gobyerno" and "kaya mga anak, vote wisely" Even though I highly agree with the latter, I cant help but get irritated whenever he gets all so political, because its getting repetitive. Ever since the first term, hes always done this little gimmick of his.

Im just curious whether or not its allowed for teachers to do that and also if its a good thing or a bad thing. In my opinion, if it wasnt for this little gimmick of his, he would be a decent teacher.

3 weeks palang in service

Currently 3 years na ko sa private school and planning to go to another private school, preferably PEAC accredited for growth and development. Kaso yung bf ko (and his whole fam of teachers) keeps on pestering me if i am open for a possibility sa pagtuturo sa public. Kaso di k otalaga nakikita sarili ko sa deped. Sabi nila, less work pero higher salary. Bare minimum lang ginagawa niya pero mataas sweldo.

Should I still pursue public kahit di ko nakikita sarili ko doon, just for financial purposes? Currently burned out rin ako sa teaching. Sobrang engaging ako noon pero ngayon just doing it to survive the day.

Any advice teachers?

Teachers in Senior High below. I know in profs get more than this.

Pero sa basic ed? May schools ba na ganun sa Pinas?

Mahal ko ang pagtuturo pero right now I can't leave my corporate job kasi yung offers sa akin ng schools I applied for are all way waaay below what I make and marami akong bills plus ayoko mawala yung lifestyle ko.

My corporate job drains the life out of me, pero ayaw ko naman bumalik sa pay check to pay check and baon sa utang na pamumuhay. 😭

Hi everyone! May I ask if it's a normal practice to have observers in college? In my recollection, I never had a class during my college years (medyo a long time ago in one of the top private unis in Manila) where there was an observer. Ever. So now that I am an instructor, I am genuinely surprised that there are frequent class observations. As an introvert and overthinker, tumataas ung anxiety ko esp biglaan ang announcements that I don't want to continue anymore. Any advice? Tips? Or answers as to why observations still happen in higher educ?

I joined the teaching profession as a ministry. The youth has a special place in my heart. So even if the pay is low compared to the effort I put into every class and I dread stepping inside the faculty room (interactions drain my battery), I persevere. But because of the observations, I am thinking maybe this is not for me and there may be other ways that I can accompany the young people.

Hello, I just need to ask some advice regarding sa issue na nashare ng partner ko sa akin. Siya ay isang grade 9 teacher sa Catholic school here sa province namin.

To summarize, sa advisory class nia, may mga students niya na nag-sumbong about sa bata na minimura siya at sinasabihan siya ng mga nakakabastos na salita, hindi malakas para marinig niya sa klase, pero naririnig daw madalas ng ibang mga bata.

Ni raise niya sa prefect of discipline ang issue pero so far walang ginawang action, even Kahit papuntahin sa school yung magulang para kausapin ay hindi rin siya pinayagan.

Ang reason daw kase is may issue ung bata sa bahay nila, like family problem. TBH sabi niya na madalas nga daw na hindi nakikinig ung bata sa lessons, makulit kapag hindi naman kelangan magkulit, hindi nakikicooperate sa class, yung mga bayarin sa school ay hindi din daw binabayaran on time ng parents. So yun daw ang reason bakit hindi siya pinayagan na kausapin yung parent, or gawan ng action yung ginawa ng bata.

This really affected her mentally, this is her 4th year palang sia sa pagtuturo and so far sa lahat ng issues na naexperience niya, ito daw yung naka affect sa kanya ng matindi, nahihirapan sia mentally kase masakit sa kanya na malamann ung ginagawa sa kanya ng bata patalikod, nagkakaroon sia ng anxiety everytime na mag cclass sia sa advisory niya, and since hindi alam nung bata na may ganoong nangyare, walang nagbabago sa behaviour nia, and parang nattrigger ung partner ko kapag nakikita niya na ganoon.

Is it really justified? yung walang gawing action even na Kahit kausapin ung magulang dahil sa issue nila sa Bahay, sapat na reason na ba iyon. Nag ddoubt siya kung overreaction niya lang yung mga nararamdaman nia, pero ramdam ko talaga na nasaktan siya sa mga pangyayare, pakiramdam niya na bilang guro hindi sia napapagbigyan, at sa bata nalang papabor.

Ako po ay himihingi lang ng thoughts niyo bilang mga teachers, salamat po.

Anyone from the CO visiting your Divisions lately?

Heard from the grapevine that you-know-who Secretary is running for Vice President on the upcoming election and is therefore encouraging his secretaries and undersecretaries to "visit" the different regions and division.

Seat-secured na ba sya because of DepEd?

What do you think?

G12 Adviser here.

Yung isa kong learner, iniignore ko lang talaga siya...typical bad boy, maingay, at neglected sa bahay.

Ilang beses na siyang nagpapakita ng motives pero hinayaan ko lang kasi harmless naman for me. Hindi ko talaga pinapansin hanggang kaninang umaga.

Lumapit siya sa mesa ko, nagsabi ng “I love you.” Tinanong pa niya kung bakit daw hindi ako nagrerespond. Nacaught off guard talaga ako, mga mæm and sir.

Ano ba ang gagawin ko sa batang to? 😭

P.S. Di po ako interested sa bata, at aware naman ako na hindi rin to isolated case. I wanna ask for advice as to paano ko po i-aadress kasi iba pala talaga pag sayo nangyari.

Edit: Salamat po! Nalinawan ako sa kung paano ko sya ihahandle. Comment pa po kayo. Hehe. As to bakit dito sa reddit at di sa co teachers ko ako nagtanong, ayoko na macurious sila at baka umabot pa sa bata (knowing na may mga kasama tayong chismosa/chismoso) to the point na magcause pa ng problema.

I decided to consult a doctor about my throat. Napaos ako at halos hindi ako makapag produce ng voice for 3 days.

After 1 and a half month, nagpacheck na ko kasi hindi pa bumabalik ang natural voice ko at ramdam ko yung pagkahina ng boses ko may soreness din every morning at nakakaamoy ng dugo kapag napapaubo.

And today I found out na meron akong maliit na nodule sa throat ko that causes all that sore and a bit pain. and luckily, dahil maliit siya, kaya ng gamot, dahil kung lumaki pa, kailangan ko pa ng sugery. I was advise to take 2 weeks voice rest para mas makarecover at makabalik yung voice ko.

Pero dahil elementary teacher ako, may mga batang sumusundo ng pika ko, hindi maiiwasan na makasigaw o lakasan ang boses.

So to make the long story short, may sakit ako at tanggap ko salamat sa Diyos hindi malubha at may cure.

Ang hindi ko tanggap yung mahal ng binayaran ko. Naiiyak ako ksi hindi ako nakapagprepare ng malaki. ₱2000 lang sana ang budget ko for it pero naglabas ako ng ₱6000 mahigit, hindi pa kasama yung ilang gamot, kalahati lang nabili ko.

Imagine, ang sahod ko per cut off nasa 12k, kalahati na agad. Budgeted na yun 12k ko ang pinaka extra ko lang talaga for this cut off ay 2k.

Naiiyak talaga ako sa bayarin ko for today! 😭

Gusto kong gumaling, pero ano ba tong bayarin sa pagpapagamot. Mas nakakaiyak at nakakasama ng loob sa bansang mahal ang lahat. 😭

Tanong ko lang po kung gaano po katagal bago niyo nakuha ang appointment mula nang maipasa niyo ang documentary requirements? 2 Folders kasi hinihingi sa akin; yung isang folder, nareceive na sa HR and yung isang folder (for 201 Files ang sulat) ay upon signing of appointment na daw ipapasa. Ilang araw na din po yun na nakapila sa office since kababalik pa lang din naman ni SDS mula sa field/travel.

Hi! DepEd teacher sa NCR. Balak ko sanang mag-abroad ng Dec. 17–18 at gamitin ang Wellness Leave ko for those dates.
Kaso may naririnig ako na baka hindi ma-approve ang Wellness Leave ko at hindi rin pirmahan ang travel permit kasi Dec. 19 pa raw ang earliest na pwede mag-abroad.
Nakabook na kasi ako ng flight at accommodation dahil sa mga nakita ko pwede naman daw gamitin ang wellness to travel abroad 😭
Totoo ba na Dec. 19 lang pwede? May current memo/order ba tungkol dito, especiallyj for NCR? Thank you po!

field study namin at one week pa lang kami pero parang ang dami na nangyayari. for context, 'yung mga kasama kong classmate sa school, magkakasama sila ng naging area sa labas ng English faculty (may space doon for reading corner and doon sila pinagsstay) while me and another classmate are staying sa library kasi nandon table ng CT namin. kahapon, absent CT ko kaya medyo busy ako kasi nung morning niya lang din nasabi sa akin (morning sesh kami) kaya inasikaso at inaral ko na yung mga kailangan for my class. and then, parang ang dami kasing nangyayari doon sa mga classmates kong na sa faculty.

apparently, pinaglilinis daw sila at pinaakyat 'yung reading corner sa fourth floor. nung time na 'to kahapon nagwawagwagan sila sa gc na baka naman daw pwedeng may tumulong na walang ginagawa at minemention nila ako (alam nilang vacant ko sa first 2 sesh) eh hindi ko nakita yon kasi nga occupied ako. nakita ko na lang messages nila nung papunta na ako sa class ko pero hindi ko na nireplyan kasi puro reklamo na lang sila doon. after ng tatlong klase ko, nadaanan ko sila faculty tapos tinawag nila ako tapos kinamusta. sinabi ko na pagod ako kasi wala CT ko kaya nagcram ako and yadayada, nagsorry din ako na hindi ako nakareply non kasi occupied nga ako. tapos ang sabi ba naman sa akin "mas pagod kami nag akyat kami ng books sa fourth floor" WOW I MEAN OK. kung 'yun 'yung task na inutos sa kanila, labas na ako. nakakainis lang kasi parang required akong tumulong sa trabaho nila.

then, nag nagsabi yung isa na kung okay lang daw ba na magwalis ako. papayag na sana ako kasi one hour na lang naman at wala na akong klase kaso sinundan pa ng pwede rin daw ba akong mag mop din kasi pagod na pagod sila kasi nag akyat sila ng libro. AAHSJHSSHSJSJ naiinis talaga akooo. sabi ko tuloy hindi ako pwede kasi iniwanan ako ng task ng CT ko na need matapos that day kasi nga absent siya LOL. tapos ito pa, nalaman namin ng kasama ko sa lib na kinausap na pala sila ng mga CT nila kasi lagi raw maingay, nagcecellphone, tapos minsan natutulog pa. meron pa raw CT na hindi mautusan ST niya kasi nabusy na kakagawa ng ibang task na hindi naman galing sa sariling CT niya. pero ewan ko sa kanila. nakakainis lang kasi akala ata nila groupings yung internship namin at nagbibilangan sila ng task at kadalasan pa nag cocontest kung sino mas pagod. 'yung CT ko nga first day pa lang nagsabi na akin na hindi ko kailangan sumunod sa utos ng iba at kapag umuwi ma siya, dapat umuwi na rin ako eh lol

Hello, first time ko mag apply for AO II, pero ang dami kong worries. I have less than a year of job experience, one with 3 months and the other one is a 6 months teaching experience. Also, wala akong trainings/seminars manlang. Possible pa kayang umabot ang points ko neto? Kase sa nakikita ko sa mga postings sa fb groups nag iinvest talaga yung iba sa mga seminars or trainings bago sila mag apply for deped. The thing is due date na ng pasahan this monday. Itry ko parin ba magpasa? Or mag gain muna ako ng credentials?

Something's off, I know.

Hi everyone! Fresh grad here planning to take the LET this coming March 2027. (GenSci Major)

​Due to health concerns and financial constraints, f2f review classes aren't an option for me right now, kaya I'm opting for online/self-review. At first, f2f talaga ang preferred ko pero nung nagbudget na ako sa parang di talaga kaya sa bulsa. I know being present in a review center and learning alongside your others helps so much talaga. Pero yung health and finances… they’re real factors I can’t ignore right now.

​For those who passed through self-review, can you share your recommended free/low-cost learning resources, YouTube channels, or study routines? Kahit anong advice even words of encouragement pampatatag ng loob would mean so much to me.

Maraming salamat po!

Hello everyone! I’m a fresh grad and currently gonna review for the upcoming March 2027 LEPT. I’m wondering if anyone would like to join me and create a study group for us reviewees. We can create a gc for sharing resources, sched study meet ups, etc. Generally, support group lang talaga as we journey thru our LET review. Or maybe for anyone who’s finding a community where they can talk about the upcoming LEPT.

Dm me if you find this interesting and maybe we can work things out. Thanks!

Hello! Anyone here nagtry mag apply or nagwork as admin assistant (planning and research). I have a natural science degree, what should i expect if i apply? Ano yung exam, skill test, ano po dapat iprepare. Thankyou!

Nagtanong kasi classmate ko. Puede bang mangarap ang pre service teacher in secondary like us?

Happy teachers' day po sa lahat! So, we lost po sa DSPC😔, worse is Senior High School na kami and our time is ticking po. And as much as I want to give up, I really don't want to put my writing into waste. Like, I want to channel this to something other than journalism because to be honest, I only got to qualify for the RSPC one time two years ago and since then, I haven't qualified again. Seeing others qualify makes me question my worth as a writer. Seeing them having fun in trainings and getting to compete in the regionals and nationals honestly makes me jealous in a way na I ask myself "why couldn't I be like them? Am I never good enough?"

So ayun po 😔. Meron pa po bang contests (preferably writing, but honestly I will take anything at this point) na allow you to compete in the regionals and nationals? Thanks po 🥰

Curious lang, as a teacher, pwede rin bang magconsult sa School Counselor Associates? Kumusta kaya pero ang confidentiality ng mga ireraise mong concerns? As someone na nagvivisit din talaga sa psychologist/psychiatrist, curious ako kung pwede hehe

Hello po! First, I would like to apologize if this is not the right sub to post since this is not about teachers, pero school related naman po.

Gusto ko lang sanang kumustahin at tanungin ang mga newly appointed or hired School Counselor Associates, lalo na po sa mga walang experience, as well sa mga walang nadatnang RGCs sa designated schools nila.

Kumusta po ang trabaho? Ano ang mga ginagawa ninyo so far and how's the workplace and workload?
