CONTINUATION...what the principal found out every class room observations are noisy students, untidy class rooms including the mentor and unprepared lessons. That explains biases. By the way, my friend J.D. recalls one principal who conducted an observation.
Before the observation, the classroom is full of joy because the discussion is about boyfriends, girlfriends, green jokes and love stories instead of Araling Panlipunan. When suddenly, one can hear a pin drop, the classroom is wordless. And the love stories were shifted to the German invasion in Poland. My friend J.D. wondered why, peeped at the faculty window, only to find out that the principal is already at the back of the classroom observing the teacher.
Not referring to the Bagani telefantasy show, someone – naughty in the teaching profession, coined the words “Bagani employees.” Flimsy managerial or persuading power might be the culprit. If caught in a hostile situation, they resort to using the word “bagani,” like bagani principal, bagani supervisor, bagani general and the most common bagani boss. And one might classify bagani also.
Class A opposes administrators or supervisors all the time, otherwise are class B. Class C sides both A and B. The last class is D, having no side at all. Class D are out of this world, and are unmindful of what is happening. Bagani spawns radical employees which often times react with “Wammit slogan.” Indeed “wammit bagani principal, wammit bagani boss,” etc. To see the point, call an iloco person and recite these several times.
On the other side, one expects the forthcoming batang pinoy athletic meet. It brings joy in the host school - to both teachers and students. There is joy not for goals, discipline or other sports virtue, but because there will be no classes. Half-done household chores are waiting at home. Surely students go on Facebook, Messenger, YouTube in whatever gadgets are again active. Gone are the days when the typical student screams at the top of his voice for a quick set kill, home run or a last second three points shot. But do you know how much money is being spend for one Batang Pinoy meets...to be continued.
