Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach. ~Peter Drucker

The REAL REASON TO TEACH

The REAL REASON TO TEACH



Love: The Real Reason to Teach

Motivation can come from many sources. People can be motivated by fear. They can also be motivated by money. Competition can also motivate. True motivation, however, comes from doing what one loves to do.

The love of teaching children is the purest form of motivation in education today. Leadership should recognize that quality in teachers and be wary of anything that destroys that desire.

Teaching used to be about children. It has become about proving ourselves. Competition against some standard has become more important than guiding children to adulthood. It once was enough that a child walked out of class feeling like they learned something. Today they have never learned enough.

When children play a game they never can win, they stop playing. Many teaching staffs today become apathetic and passive aggressive because they feel like they can never do enough. Constant pressure to “raise the bar” has led some educators to adopt a “bunker mentality”, hiding from administrative mandates. More and more is added to the plate with nothing ever being taken off. Good teachers know in their hearts that the most important focus of their job is to help students reach their potential. When students reach their potential that should be enough.

It used to be that the greatest goal of education was a happy student. Now it is a test score. We have become so focused on proving ourselves to people who don’t really matter to our kids that we have forgotten our kids who should really matter most.

In our attempt to dot every “I” and cross every “T”, we are creating institutions instead of communities. If we are going to take the humanity out of education then we need to replace teachers with computers and relationships with ipods. I believe in our ever increasing high tech world, students are looking for that human spirit to connect with.

Education is not about competition, it is about nurturing children. Children are not only interested in how things work; children are also interested in how life works. That is a lesson they cannot learn from a computer or curriculum. Self worth is only gained through relationships with other human beings. Teachers who love their students instill that worth. When that bond of worth exists learning is enriched.

As I wind down for my future career, I know it is not about the money. I know now it was not about competition or fear. It is the love of children that motivates me. I only hope educators in the future do not become so overburdened that they burn out on teaching before they achieve that same realization.

THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY-reflection and realization

The Gods must be crazy was a great film directed by Jamie Uy’s. It focuses on the indigenous people in Kalahari Desert. In producing this film his intention was in trying to capture one’s heart. Direct Jamie was a brilliant person for his sense of what was really the need of the televiewers, and that’s why he use genre on that film was comedy and this was one of his best comic masterpiece. He knows that in making comedy film, the more laughter’s the more lessons will be learned. Additionally a person who has a big part of that film was Paddy O’Byrne he was a great help for those people love to see this film he was a best narrator of that movie, in his narration people would really understand better about the movie.We could relate in this film that it is not only here in the Philippines have an indigenous people, but IP’s exceed also all throughout the world.
Nowadays, we can really see that there were many IP’s who are striving to protect and preserve their culture, beliefs and tradition, through with that, can be pass to the new coming generation that awaits ahead IP’s struggle to live peace and in justice.
After watching the film I realize how grateful I am, that I become an educated one and become aware of those things happen surrounds me. Respect has been emphasized by this film, as what the movie shown to us that those persons are strangers in Kalahari Desert they respected those beliefs and culture of the indigenous people of that area. In making things we should limit our confines and has its own grounds of where we are going to place off. So, we can avoid painting hurt towards individual personality.
