Real Teachers teach from the heart, not from their BIG egos.

I have often heard news about Education students in our university being the laughing stock of some Social Science professors from the College of Arts and Sciences. I don't know why they often judge, generalize and mock CEd students who are enrolled in CAS sections for minor subjects like Philosophy 100 and History 100 in their classes and then flunk them just because they are CEd students. And oh, I don't even think considering them as "professors", "teachers" or "instructors".

I see only one reason. Ego. Remember Beyonce's song?

He got a big ego, such a huge ego, such a huge ego

They simply can not accept that Educ students are in fact one of the brightest among the students in the university,that just because we took an Education course make us less intelligent than the ones who took up Veterinary Science and Medicine, Accountancy, Biology and Chemistry.

Ego as defined by Merriam-Webster Online dictionary as the self especially as contrasted with another self or the world."

Their egos are hurt because they may be bright, they may have graduated from the top universities in the country, but they cannot to anything to bring the Educ spirit down and they are doing everything they can to destroy Educ, but they simply cannot.

Why?

Modesty aside, it is a known fact in CLSU that Educ dominates a lot of University events, may it be sports, debate, literary. musical, arts, creativity, unity.... name it and Educ is definitely among the top three in every event and competition in the university.

When Educ wins, they say that we cheat, that there is bias, they blame it to the VPAA who is a former CEd dean, they blame it to OSA Personnels who are "incompetent" according to them. When their college wins, we just feel happy about it and strive to do better next time.

And I believe that's the Educ difference that our college has imbued on us, that no matter how tough life can be, we can always prove that we are tougher, that there is no one who can tell us to stop reaching our dreams but ourselves.

Our professors epitomizes what they teach. They live by the principle that "you cannot give what you do not have". So when students pass, it is because they have given what they have. Consequently, failing a whole class as what these Social Science "instructors" do with Educ students reflects that they cannot give us anything except for curses, stories about alcohol, cigarettes and curses, curses and nasty remarks. One even said that he trained to be a priest, but didn't pursue it. Good thing though, because there is no way he can be a priest with his attitude of cursing and labeling students.

I believe that real teachers teach from the heart, not from the thick books, not from their huge egos-thinking that they know everything.

That what will matter is where you are heading after college, and I know most of their students teaching in public schools- and they curse teachers?

Apparently, as "instructors", they are also cursing themselves, right?

I just hope and pray that they can sleep well at night, and that their kids won'r experience what my college-mates experienced with them.

Go Mighty Educ!
