    Kriza Rae C. Calansingin reflects on learning the true role of schools and teachers through her early experiences. She initially saw her role narrowly, focused only on classroom lessons, but came to understand that education happens both inside and outside the classroom through community activities, sports, and cultural events. These additional activities are important for transmitting culture and values. Realizing this broader role, she now embraces all aspects of education that can positively impact students' holistic development.

    Short Paper #1

    The Role of School

    “What is teaching?” “Why do you want to teach?” Every time I was thrown these
    questions, my quick response would always be, “Teaching is my vocation not just a mere
    profession.” “Because I want help my students change for the better.” The same old cliché.
    Every idealists’ go to answer. An answer stuck on replay. What I did not understand is that it’s
    more than just a go to answer. It should have been walked. It should have been breathed life into.

    As I entered my room on my first day of service, knowing I have been assigned to the
    lowest section of the grade 7, I chanted at the back of my mind the line, “They’re going to be
    smart.” All I did was prepare very idealistic lesson plans, limited to the four corners of the
    classroom. As I was just starting to enjoy my career as a public school teacher. I came to realize
    a lot of things which made me shed a tear or two. I got to witness things which were practiced
    behind curtains. The flaws of the masterpiece I once thought of. Often times, class periods are
    weighed less than the practice hours for festival dances, for basketball, volleyball, and boxing
    play offs. After all, education does not only happen inside the four walls of the classroom.
    Education is not only about the transmission of knowledge and skills, wherein someone gets to
    play smarter and smart, but it was also a transmission of culture. One does not only rely upon
    himself, and think that he can fix and change the resource dramatically. One must collaborate
    with all the school staff, the parents, and the stakeholders to fully accomplish the task at hand.

    And how do we do that? We participate in community activities which aim to preserve


    and promote cultural heritage. At first, I really did not take excuses for festival dance and sports
    activity practices very warmly. I did not enjoy the sun on my skin during community parades. It
    was a bother on a perfectly planned daily or weekly lesson. Little did I know that all of these
    directly manifests the process of culture and values transmission. It may have taken a toll at me
    before, but now I consider myself a loud and proud cheerer of all things beneficial to the
    development of holistic change towards a learner’s life. The role of Education is truly
    magnanimous, and the role of the teacher is to embrace this magnanimity for the world’s greatest
    resource, our learners.
