The Teaching Profession

The Silliman University College of Education, is a Center of Excellence for Teacher Education. Now, many people have been discriminating the College of Education and even the teaching profession as an unworthy course in College given the emergence of highly technological courses such as Medical Technology, IT , and Accountancy. They seem to think that only students who are not that intellectually gifted and lazy would indulge into such course. Well, I say that if you take this course, you must have the heart to complete all the requirements, make all the visual aids, study and apply the strategies and methods of teaching as well as accomplish the stressful teaching demonstrations and student teaching. Now, you say it's easy? Think again, teaching is the noblest profession because teachers are the front runners of nation building and social transformation. Without us, all the other professions will cease to exist. So think again, before you say something. The College of Education is the factory of future teachers, teachers who are competent and equipped to mold and reshape the world.
