i am handling two sections of grade two. the morning and the afternoon session. i observed that my pupils have a very big problem. do you want to know their proble? their parents. my pupils are seven and eight years old.here in the Philippines, these pupils should show courteousness to their teacher. but then, they show the other side. i askesd them what do they actually do at home. they told me that they are free to do whatever they wanted to do. for example, watching television all day. their parents do not care. what to know why their parents do not care? because their parents are also very busy in talking with others about other people's lives. "tsismis" in Filipino language. they prepare everything for their children and after that they do tsismis. these parents are suppose to be guiding their children in everything.but what they are doing they are very much busy in doing nonsense things. they are very selfish. the victim-their children. their chidren are becoming worse in an early age. as a teacher it was hard to stop the habit because they used into it. how bad. but still as a teacher i am still trying my very best to stop and change it into good.
