Reflections on Teachers and Teaching

KYSD (Know Your School Day) is a school event held once every school year where students take place of teaching their fellow students just like what our teachers do to us. Students become the teachers while the teachers are given a chance to rest for even for just a while from teaching the students.It is chance to experience being a teacher or a faculty staff for a day or even two.
It was on January 24, 2007 when KYSD officially opened in UP High with some opening ceremonies at its open field. The student teachers were introduced to everyone in the campus by letting them went up to the stage while their I.D.s are given to them.
I think evryone of us were excited to have new faces of teachers in our subjects. I was one of those who were accepted to have the chance to teach my classmates and share my thoughts about the subject I am teaching. It was Practical Law that I taught during the KYSD and I was very nervous coming in front of my students. It is like their face are telling me that they are expecting a good lesson for today. I tried not to disappoint them but it was really hard for me being a teacher, specially in a law class where brilliant minds are gathered in front of me. There were a lot of questions being asked and I myself are also asking them to myself, just like the applications of the law and its scope. Law was really broad to be taught in just an hour. Nonetheless, they were satisfied by the answers I have given them.

Being a Practical Law teacher should be an exemption for those students who just sleep in their classes. It might be boring sometime but it really is very beneficial to everyone of us nowadays that there is a struggle for power and all want to be the leader. Laws are strictly implemented and as what is written in the Civil Code- Ignorantia Legis, Non excusat or Ignorance of the law excuses no one from compliance therewith. Teacher really is no joke now that I experienced it myself the preparations needed to come up with a lesson plan. I salute all the teachers for their priceless effort and their dedication to their work.
