Dear Teacher:
I am a survivor of a concentration camp.
My eyes saw what no man should witness:
Gas chambers built by learned engineers
Children poisoned by educated physicians
Infants killed by trained nurses
Woman and babies shot and burned by high
school and college graduates
So I am suspicious of education.
My request is: Help your students become human.
Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled
psychopaths.
Reading, writing, arithmetic are important only if they
serve to make our children more human.
Profession a striving for excellence
According to Pope Paul VI, Do more, have more in order to
be more! For us, teachers, continuing professional education is
explicit in our professionalization law and our Code of
Professional Ethics.
Taking teaching as a profession means
having the willingness to go through a long period of preparation
and a continuing professional development.
Screening of teacher applicants in the DepEd and mortality
rate in the Licensure Examination for Teachers are glaring
evidences of teaching as a profession.
Elements of Profession
1. Long years of preparation
2. Continuing professional development
3. Striving for excellence
4. Dedication to public interest
5. Commitment to moral and ethical standard
