A.2. Analysis
From the modes of teaching and lesson content during those days,
what are some of the similarities and difference as far as kind of
subject/s and strategies used? What educational/professional
qualifications did those early teachers have? How about the
performance of the students before?
Answer: Modes of being practical and vocational were both vital during
the Spanish and American time until in our present time. Teachers on
those times were all knowledgeable. Missionaries are familiar with
Christianity. The Thomasites are well-trained in America before going
here in the Philippines. Students by those times are well trained on
practical skills and though teaching methods are very limited the
knowledge we can say were well engraved in their minds and souls.
A.1. ACTIVITY
Read the literary piece attached and reflect on the scenario depicted
by a mission and a job. One part says: “if you are teaching not only for the
pay but also foe service, teaching out of love- it’s a mission. If you teach
because you are paid and not giving your best because others are doing
the same, it is a job.”

the first day of a new school year which states in part… So I am suspicious

efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths and
*Eichmanns*. After reflecting on the message of the principal- how can you
help children become more human? Cite some ways to achieve this goal.
