An Academic Frustration
Right after I took the board exam for teachers, my next plan was to take my masteral, preferably in education or public administration. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen turn of events, I wasn’t able to enroll last semester which I direly regret.
In a couple of months, the registration for the second semester will start and I am hoping to enroll this time. However, one of my frustrations is that I am having problems with managing my time as my schedule in the last months has been truly hectic. In fact, I even suffered from heart palpitation due to stress and lack of sleep in my effort to finish my work assignments, both from my day and off-office hours job. Read the rest of this entry »

Alternative Learning Strategies for School Break
In the next two months, school time is over and parents will be busy again looking for activities their children would engage in during the summer vacation.
The popular strategy to keep students busy and still learning on summer break is enrolling them to different summer classes like art lessons, sports clinics, and academic tutorials. Having them in art and sports classes would improve their creativity, innate physical abilities and social interaction skills. Putting them for Math, English and Science tutorials will help them get ready and ahead for the classes in June.

Update on CENTEX “MCF Scholarship Program”
Posted by mhel in about marikina, education, general, health and fitness on November 6th, 2009
In the last weeks, there were questions regarding the scholarship program managed by the Center for Excellence (CENTEX) which offers free training courses for Marikina residents.
For those who are interested in the free training, please be informed that the remaining available courses for enrollment last September of 2009 are cancelled. Unfortunately, the schooll where CENTEX send its students was affected also by typhoon Ondoy and its classrooms, equipment, etc. were flooded. This means that the regular vocational-technical courses may resume next year, probably in February.
At the same time, the training on animation will not push through also as TESDA will not provide vouchers anymore to support the scholars. This is a sad news as CENTEX has prepared for the new batches of animation students months back.

Our Childish Dream of Changing the World
Posted by mhel in education, general, relationship, self-help on November 30th, 2007
In my educational psychology class, I have discussed the school of thoughts and me and my fellow classmates were fascinated with a particular philosophy that teaches that man are inherently good.
That teaching struck me as relevant to this article I’m writing about everyone’s childish dream of making a difference. Isn’t it that when we were born, our parents told us were special and meant to become somebody important?

“Teaching Is Not A Fallback”
A Tribute to the Teachers of the World Part 3

“Of all the professions in the world, the job of the teacher has the opportunity to touch lives the most.” marikenya
To Read the Part 1 and Part 2 of this article –
Last Part of the 3-part Series on “Teaching Is Not A Fallback.” A Tribute to the Teachers of the World.
We’re getting to the climax of this story. When Holland was in his 60s, the new principal (who was an asshole since the day Holland went teaching at Kennedy High) initiated a cost-cutting measure to comply with the school board which included… the total abolition of the department of drama, arts and music!

Part II of the 3-part Series on “Teaching Is Not A Fallback.” A Tribute to the Teachers of the World.
Another unforgettable scene for me was the conversation between Holland and his co-teacher and friend who was a P.E. teacher and a football coach. He was asking Holland a favor — to teach playing an instrument and making a band member one of his quarterback players whose grades are miserable so the school would still let him play for the team. Apparently, the boy was hopeless when it comes to playing any instrument and Holland rejectedly told this to his friend who said to him:
“You’re a lousy teacher if you can’t teach a willing student.”

“Of all the professions in the world, the job of the teacher has opportunity to touch lives the most.” marikenya
In our guidance and counseling subject last night, Our professor Dr. Pasco made us choose between a lecture or watching a movie (with a reflection paper to be passed after). Of course, since we were all tired (coming to classes from our day jobs), we were happy for a movie breather so we chose the latter.
We bought our chichirya (junk foods) and c2 (ice tea) and settled to watch the night’s premier —Mr. Holland’s Opus — a story of a musician turned teacher who greatly affected lives of his students and made a notable impact in his community.
Richard Dreyfuss plays the role of Glenn Holland, the musician whose goal is to create his own composition so he took the job of a teacher thinking it would give him more free time to focus on making his song.

How Much Do We Understand People?
To Advice or Not To Advice.
Posted by mhel in education, relationship, self-help on November 22nd, 2007
From the previous entry: The Schools of Thought and the Paradox of Life
I have promised in my last entry on Psychology and its School of Thoughts that I would be providing a test on how to gauge our mastery or level of understanding of people. This quiz is taken from the book Understanding of Psyhology by Richard Kasschau, Ph.D. I actually gave this quiz to my classmates when I reported on the topic of Nature and Scope of Psychology and not surprisingly, all failed. 
See for yourself!
Take the Quiz.
