An open letter to Vice Ganda:

Before you preach, research. 

You might have felt vindicated based on the way you justified your argument on this issue about calling students who are not raising their hands during class recitation. Let me tell you this.

Teachers have learned different teaching strategies to maximize students’ engagement in their own classrooms. We may have learned them from spending four years in tertiary level, graduate school, own research, or even from our exposure to different teaching experiences. But no matter how we learned these techniques, we studied, researched, and immersed ourselves to efficiently deliver our lessons to our students.

Calling students who are not raising their hands is never wrong and never will be. Let me tell you Vice, there is a technique called ”Cold Calling”. This was developed by Doug Lemov and can be found in his book “Teach Like A Champion”. This effective strategy creates an expectation that all students are ready to answer every question. Guess what? This has been proven to promote attention, engagement, and participation. We strive to encourage active thinking in our classrooms. And it was never made to shame students. Never. We hold students accountable which I think is crucial in developing their responsibility for their own learning.

Vice, kaya ang daming mga bata ngayon na kulang sa accountability o pananagutan. Dapat turuan natin ang ating kabataan na maging handa sa mga hamon sa buhay. At maaaring simulan ito sa loob ng silid-aralan. Hindi pagpapahiya ang tawag diyan kundi paghahanda. Maging aral din sana ito sayo na bago ka maglahad ng iyong kuru-kuro, ay dapat munang alamin mo kung may kabuluhan ba ito.

Never invalidate others’ actions (this time- teachers’) unless otherwise you have made thorough research. Actually, pwede ka rin maging guro, you have a huge social media following. Use it wisely. Wag lang kuda ng kuda. Ika nga, before you preach, research! 

Yung lang. 

Nagmamahal,

Isang guro na tinatawag pa rin ang mga hindi nagre-raise ng hands sa klase
