Good manners and right conduct mahirap ituro sa mga bata

MAGIGING isang hamon umano sa mga guro ang pagtuturo ng good manners and right conduct sa mga estudyante sa ilalim ni Pangulong Duterte.

Ayon kay Alliance of Concerned Teachers president Benjamin Valbuena malilito ang mga bata dahil iba ang itinuturo ng kanilang mga guro sa napapanood nila kay Duterte.

“We can imagine the confusion in our pupils’ heads. On one hand, we teach the values of respect to others, the law and the State, and on the other hand, they see the president on national TV using the language of killing, misogyny and vulgarity, and other top officials following suit as if it is a fad,” ani Valbuena.

Sinabi ng Department of Education na Palalakasin nito ang pagtuturo ng GMRC sa mga paaralan sa ilalim ng K to 12 curriculum.

“Apart from good manners, we see that teaching about the values of truth, justice and human rights should be strengthened and should be discussed within the context of our history and current society. This will help our pupils to better discern the right from the wrong,” dagdag Valbuena.

Sinabi ni Valbuena na ang problema sa K to 12 curriculum ay nakadisenyo ito para gumawa ng empleyado na may murang suweldo.

“Consequently, it weakened the education on history, social science and humanities which are core to developing analytical skills.”
