The teaching profession is no ordinary profession. It is not as
easy as it gets. Some people would say, teachers just
teaches. They tell students of what, why, how, when or
where but they don’t have the knowledge of an underlying
dilemma that teachers do encounter. It’s on how can
teachers make the facts that they are teaching meaningful to
their students. Often that I ask myself of the relevance of my
explanations in my chemistry classes and I attempt to ask my

one of our post-cons. I laughed
upon hearing those words not
because I don’t believe him but
because I am expecting that to
happen. The teaching
profession, again, is no ordinary
profession. Aside from providing
the instructional materials, there
is another justification. Think of
these. If you are an accountant,
you leave the bank and you are

then walk in the streets and enter your home,
you are still a teacher.
