According to THE MAGNA CARTA FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS
Section 14. Additional Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision of existing law to

what is defined as normal duties of any teacher shall be paid an additional
compensation of at least twenty-five per cent of his regular remuneration after the
teacher has completed at least six hours of actual classroom teaching a day.

Any work performed in excess of eight hours a day by other instructors or school
administrators who are not involved in real classroom instruction shall be awarded an
additional pay of at least 25% of their regular remuneration. The additional
compensation needed by this provision must be paid by the agencies that use the
services of teachers. Education authorities must refuse to enable teachers to provide
services for other government agencies unless they are guaranteed to be paid the
remuneration set forth in this section.

3.When a Principal starts to exercise his/her powers over making and promoting
students, is his/her action acceptable?
a. Yes, when the teacher cannot make a decision on time.
b. Yes, when there is abuse of judgment on the part of the teacher.
c. No, teachers are more knowledgeable of their student's performance.
d. No, grading and promoting students are exclusive functions of teachers
EXPLANATION:
Because their teacher is occasionally biased or unfair to their students, letter B is the
correct answer. As a result, the principal's action is permissible because she only
understands how to fix the situation or is aware of better alternatives.

4.What should a teacher do when he/she falls in love with his/her student?
a. Court the student at home.
b. Propose and marry the student.
c. Wait till the student is no longer under his/her tutelage.
d. Act normally as if nothing happens and the student does not exist.

in love with one of his or her students. Because, according to Article VIII of the Code of
Ethics for Professional Teachers, teachers and students Section 7. In the event of
mutual attraction and eventual affection between a teacher and a student, the instructor
must use extreme caution to avoid controversy, gossip, and preferential treatment of the
student.

a. Yes, when held while on official time.
b. Yes, when held outside the official time.
c. Yes, when hold with approval of the principal
d. Yes, when held together with parents and students.
EXPLANATION:
Because you should not disrupt automobiles or transit when holding a rally, letter B is
the right response. We know we have the right to express our grievances to the
government, but we also need to be aware of our limitations and prioritize our safety,
especially when holding a public march.

celebration of English Week. What could Teacher P do to acknowledge Teacher
Q's assistance?
a. Buy her a gift
b. Keep quiet about the assistance received.
c. Mention formally to the principal the assistance received.
d. Make an announcement giving due recognition of the assistance received
EXPLANATION:
Letter D is the correct answer because, in exchange for his or her assistance, it is
appropriate to recognize her efforts so that pupils and coworkers appreciate them. This
is also a fantastic method to strengthen your bond with her and motivate her to work
harder.

7.Teacher O tutors her students, who have difficulty coping with Math, after class
hours. Is her act ethical?
a. Yes, provided she receives just compensation.
b. Yes, provided she does not require a fee from the parent.
c. No, that is unfair to other students.
d. No, she should be free after her official time.
EXPLANATION:
Because the teacher's purpose is excellent, letter B is the correct answer. She tutors
her pupils simply because she cares about them and wants to help them pass their
math classes and cope with their issues without charging them. She is a great example
of a wonderful instructor.

8.Teacher N wants to continue with her study leave for another six months after
completing a school year. Could she be allowed?
a. Yes, if her grades are excellent.
b. Yes, but without compensation.
c. No, other teachers should have the chance.
d. No, study leave should not exceed one year.
EXPLANATION:
Letter B is correct because according to Magna Carta FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS V. LEAVE AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS Section 24. Study Leave. In
addition to the leave privileges now enjoyed by teachers in the public schools, they shall
be entitled to study leave not exceeding one school year after seven years of service.
Such leave shall be granted in accordance with a schedule set by the Department of
Education. During the period of such leave, the teachers shall be entitled to at least
sixty per cent of their monthly salary: Provided, however, That no teacher shall be
allowed to accumulate more than one year study leave, unless he needs an additional
semester to finish his thesis for a graduate study in education or allied courses:
Provided, further, That no compensation shall be due the teacher after the first year of
such leave. In all cases, the study leave period shall be counted for seniority and
pension purposes.

9.Teacher M suffers from hypertension and experiences difficulty in speech.

Which would be affected if he continues teaching?
a. Personality
b. Punctuality
c. Effectiveness
d. Devotion to duty
EXPLANATION:
The correct answer is C, since when you become a teacher, you should have strong
communication skills, which are especially important for interactions with pupils and are
required by the act of teaching itself. You'll be responsible for understanding and
breaking down complicated information, communicating it clearly to your students both
verbally and in written resources, presenting in a way that keeps their attention, and
listening to and addressing their queries or problems in your role. As a result, if you
have difficulties speaking, you will not be able to become a successful teacher since
you will be unable to satisfy your students and teach properly.

10.Ms. Sanchez, a BSE graduate, has not passed the LET yet. In what capacity
can she be hired?
a. Permanent status
b. Emergency status
c. Provisional for not less six months
d. Provisional for not less than one year
EXPLANATION:
D is the correct answer because the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) is a test
of prospective teachers' total knowledge and ability, it provides a trustworthy structure,
prospective teachers' practice can be measured and confirmed, and it allows for
continued growth and development. To ensure that only qualified teachers can be hired,
licensing is essential. Passing the LET also demonstrates that a prospective teacher
has the potential to become a great teacher, assuming that he or she has the motivation
and desire to do so.
