Ang Guro

When I heard the title "Ang Guro" it seems like a horror movie to me, But it's a musical Directed by Paul Bollano and Starring Karel Marquez.

The Story was about a teacher who really loved her chosen profession and gives almost of her time to her students. It is an inspiring musical play about the teachers (To be honest i don't like musicales). I even criticized the stage set up but I did'nt mind it until I've got the message of the play. "Hindi lahat ng Kaalaman nanggaling sa libro" (I hope I did not misquote :))
Here's what I've got to say. It was inspiring and makes young BSED, BEED and TCP (Professional) students {Of course TCP students are groups of professionals and working people who takes Education as a 2nd course)To strive hard and learn to love the teaching profession. Teaching is not only limited to all the classrooms of Universities, colleges, High School or elementary schools but it is always UNIVERSAL. Teachers especially those in mountainous communities even they can't get enough a huge amount of salary they still gave their best to all the students who wants to pursue their dreams.
As what the director said that, "Kung mangangarap ka , tabahu-in mo" Yes! it is true strive hard to reach your goals.
Teachers must be a good role to the community since he/she is respected. A teacher must also listen to the problems of her students either it will be family or emotional, He or she is like a Doctor that 24/7 he/she is always there to treat the problems. We must not criticize them since all professions came from them as the director stated "Walang Doctor kung walang guro..." That's true 100% I agree. Each basic foundation of knowledge was taught by our teachers in elementary years,
who taught us how to count correctly?. The Teachers
Who taught us world and Phil. History? The teachers
Who taught us how to read with correct grammar? The teachers
Who taught the engineer how to measure, calculate, and estimate? The Teachers
Who taught you Christian Living Education? The teachers

The role played by Karel Marquez shows what the teachers must be. They are our 2nd parent and even the ear to shout all the problems in a student's heart. Teachers must always act as a professional, gone were the days that they have long arnis sticks that when you commit a small mistake a spank will always be your punishment, gone were the days that the teacher will be the supreme dictator of the classroom, A chalk canon or an eraser catapult...etc. They must always evolve and always be a kind person and knows what is good or bad for the students.
In the Philippines there's no place in the world where the students will spend a half of their life, but in school. They look up their teachers as role models, and so they must set as a good example, as our elders would tell us "Kung ano ang ginagawa ng matanda ay tama sa mata ng bata".

But I admit there are horrible teachers, and if you will ask me who are my horrible teachers,indeed I'll point them one by one HA! Even in College I can point who makes me crawl in his useless subject. Teachers must not be like an executioner, a judge, a dictator or a monster in the midst of the students. But they must be like an Angel sent by God from the heaven to teach the students how to be successful.

Teachers must NEVER EVER envy their students instead they must be proud of their students no matter what they become.
If your Students had new ideas guide them and support their creativity and even LISTEN to them. Don't be a close minded professional but an open minded that knows how to accept other persons idea.

Here's a picture of one of the best Catholic Cardinal- Archbishops of the Country with a quote about teachers during his 79th Birthday tribute.

"A good teacher is the one who knows how to sit down, ask question, listen...and smile too"
