Step-by-Step VTA

A once University of the Philippines retired professor said that " Learning can happen under a papaya tree, it's the education system that we should change" - Prof. Carlita Carlos.

A FULL CIRCLE

My very first students were Grade 5 kids in a Marcos type classroom in Mayapa, Canlubang, Laguna. That was Catechism which served both requirements for practice teaching and youth civic action or YCAP. Year was 1975.

Mayapa Elementary School now stands as a 3-story concrete building. Today, I again have graders in our Eskwelahang Munti in our street.

As I water and tend my plants by the street sides, children came around asking me, "lolo, anong plant yan." I got to know them and at random I ask them, 6x7? or 8+7? or to say something in English.

One day, they said "lolo, turuan mo kami." Now we have face to face class. I prepare math, english, science lessons; I asked friends for old pencils, ball pens, crayons. I cut cardboard boxes to A4 size, from the grocery, to make clipboards for writing. Since then, they have ceased calling me lolo. Now, it is, "teacher!" No, I wont teach falling bodies, though I did teach them balancing equations!! (When it rains, classes are suspended, all levels.)
