A philosopher once said that teachers play a major role in the development of our society. They inspire, motivate and pass on knowledge. It's important to remember that each and everyone of us is a teacher. Each day we learn and teach one another whether this be in a class room, at work, or at home. No matter what, there are always lessons to be learned and practiced. Teaching is the noblest profession as everybody say. But until now, I am always bothered with this question: How can we teach with an empty stomach? Somehow, after reading all the comments here, I felt like I am not alone. Yes, there are still a lot of tutorial services that offers 50pesos or 55pesos an hour. I had worked before as an ESL teacher with a very low pay. I don't have any choice to grab that job offer because I can't find any other work here in Baguio City. I pity myself for a month because I only got the same salary like the other tutors. Only 55 pesos for an hour. Yet, I experienced being a private tutor for a Filipino elem pupil with a salary of 200pesos per hour for 2hours every saturday and sunday. I am a licensed and experienced teacher, and I also graduated AB English, DSPED, and now taking my MA English, and yet the salary is still the same. Would you think it is fair? I just remember the times when my college dean got angry because I already decided to resign from being an ESL teacher from the Korean school in which she offered to me. We had some disagreements about the salary. I and some others from the same school said to our dean that we will definitely resign if our demands will not be met. We demanded for a higher salary. I still wonder until now why she got angry and disappointed especially to me (because I am the one who texted her about our resignation). Yes, we had a different pay only during the winter camp, but after that we already have the same salary as to the other ESL teachers. The salary for a month is 7k pesos and after we demanded, they just add 500pesos. IT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH especially for those teachers who need to support their families. (Kulang pa yan pambili ng gatas para sa baby ko!) And yet, this dean still doesn't seem to understand. She doesn't care. SIYA KAYA SAHORAN NG 7000 at magturo ng mga 0-level english koreans? Hayy... Stupid... I also remember one time when one of my Korean student asked me how much do I get from teaching in their school because he said they paid almost 100k pesos for only a month staying and studying here in Baguio City. I really wanted to tell him about our salary, but of course as a professional, I didn't disclose it to him. And now can you imagine, the school only paid us 75pesos or 600pesos daily for about 15days? But that still depends, because there's still also the school policy of No work, no pay. Anyway, I don't regret that I resigned from that school even though my colleagues who also planned to resign didn't continue it. Anyway, I still understand them but I just pity them because they will still be inclined to that Korean school and still be a puppet to that dean. Did I make the right decision? Hi!
