The government has issued an order regarding the non-collection of fees and other incidental charges in public schools in order to encourage participation in education of families.Specific orders were sent to our leaders in the Education Department regarding the school uniforms that it should not be required and that Identification Cards of students must not be at students’ expense but are chargeable against the respective Maintenance, Operational and Other Expenses (MOOE) of the schools.

The Department Order signed by the Secretary of Education was simply worded by Sec. Lapus. Even schoolchildren can easily digest and understand the memo but our teachers and schools seem to reading it the other way.

Is it that they do not understand simple English or are they just stubbornly cute? Or is it because most of them are too enterprising and business oriented that they include poor students and families amongst their prey, helpless as they are. Or is it because the superintendents don’t give a damn, especially so that one superintendent here is afraid of facing the media and the order was addressed to them and not to principals?

Whatever their reasons are, it is unessential. The order is there, face it. Follow it, no matter who, no matter what. You are teachers, you get angry when you are not followed.

What is happening now is, teachers can’t seem to follow simple instructions, more like Grade 1. Teachers are blinded of what, we don’t know.

AGAIN, IT IS SIMPLE. YOU WANT RESPECT AS TEACHER? FOLLOW SIMPLE ORDERS THEN WE SHALL FOLLOW YOU, TOO. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MODELS, not evils!
