CNN Ph asks

10.06.22

Happy teacher's day! This may be a day late but I want to show appreciation to my high school teachers. Most of them made our lives easier than it should.

Yesterday, I saw my sister's IG story about this.

Before we drop the favorite lines from my teachers, I'd be happy to share the most memorable teacher I had in high school.

TECHNICAL!

Every student in our high school must know our Geometry/Trigonometry teacher. She was considered a terror/strict/cool teacher. Her voice and personality were really strong that you'll be out of words when she calls your name to participate. Let's just call her Mrs. T. She's really a great teacher and she came up with an activity wherein every student will be called randomly and recite the lessons that were discussed. Before the recitation, she will let us copy every description of geometric figures. We will need to memorize all of it and show the illustration.

Looks easy right? The catch is, you'll need to recite all of the figures in 2 to 3 minutes without any errors. You will be timed. Once you made a mistake, you recite it all the way back to the start. You have 3 chances to make a mistake, every error you make is counted as one. One point for mispronunciation, one for fillers, one for repeating/stuttering words, one point if you made a mistake in the illustration, and one point for just breathing JOKE! If you got three mistakes, Mrs. T will yell TECHNICAL! And you are expected to take a seat, expect to get a low grade on recitation/participation, and have no second chances.

Out of 4 quarters in my 2nd year, I would always get a technical. I can still remember my first time doing that activity, I stuttered. I didn't last for half a minute, got 3 mistakes, and sat down looking at the ground, nervous about what my grade will be. After that, I just let it be. I wasn't even good at recitation.

Let's answer CNN Ph's question.

What's your favorite line from your teacher?

Geometry class teacher

Aside from her TECHNICAL punchline, Mrs. T called me out as she saw me sleeping in her class. Imagine having a teacher with a voice so strong that no one can sleep in her class, and yet I slept. She asked me to stand up and yelled, 'N.....(last name)!!! Saan ka na naman rumaket kagabi at mukang pagod na pagod ka??!! Isama mo naman kami!

*translation*

N...(lastname) Are you working last night and looks like you got so tired??!! You should've invited us!!!

Then she asked me to jump 5 times, I didn't jump but she yelled louder, so I jumped while laughing at myself.

TLE (Technology and Livelihood Education Subject teacher)

We were asked to stitch shorts in our TLE subject. Everyone was busy and one of my classmates went to our teacher to have her work checked. We were all startled when we heard our teacher say 'I told you to cut it, bakit mo ginupit?!'

I told you to cut it, why did you cut it?

Everyone in our class looked at each other confused too hahaha!

MAPEH (Music teacher)

Our music teacher deeply knows how hard it is to study in our school. During our quarterly exams, our classroom watcher wasn't our class adviser. The teachers take turns each day. Students always would like to be watched by Mr. Music teacher, he's our favorite. Why? Because when he says 'O dito lang ako sa pinto ha. TUMAHIMIK KAYO. Kapag tumapik ako tumahimik kayo'

I'm just gonna stand here by the door. KEEP QUIET. If you see me tapping the wall, keep quiet

When he says keep quiet, that's our signal to do our thing. Yes, teamwork during the exams. When he taps the wall, that's his signal that there's another teacher coming so we should get back to our own papers. HAHAHAHA!

Take note that he wasn't really

High school life was very tough for us we wouldn't be able to make it. Thanks to our 2nd parents or our school teachers. Of course don't forget to thank our parents as our first teachers.

How about you, can you still remember your teacher's favorite line?
