Have you experience of being a teacher? If you experience it how would you feel?
They say “Learning is Fun” but if I were to ask, I could say yes and I could say no. I could say yes because while you are learning, you are able to meet different people and make new friends and I could say no because it too hard especially in projects, assignments and other requirements needed. But no matter what it is and how hard it is, we always cannot deny that through learning, a brighter future awaits for us.The (UPHS) or the University of the Philippines High School celebrated the teacher’s day in not just ordinary activities. The school celebrated the day for our teacher’s through a program called (KYSD) or also known as Know Your School Day. It is a program made by students, teachers, faculty members or our dear teachers. It is a program where a certain faculty member or a teacher will have his/her rest day by the help of the students. This is a program where students serve as teacher or a faculty member o any other positions. Student here also serves as applicant coz’ before they could replace a certain position, they need to undergo first on an interview. Students are only required to apply 2 desired subjects and only 1 position as a faculty member. Through this activity, students are practiced and exposed on how to apply a job someday. They are practiced on speaking through the interview especially in teaching in front of students and other kills that are applied.Even though, this was my first time to encountered that celebration I tried to apply some subjects but I failed. So I didn’t experienced on teaching my classmates at least I have experienced being taught by a teacher who is actually is also a student or in short as student teacher. I could really make a big difference on being taught by a professional teacher and just a student. Being taught by a student is fun. It’s because you are free to speak to everyone your opinion, you have this kind of freedom because we all know that our teacher is just our classmate. Even though our student teachers have not mastered the subjects unlike the teachers, they still try to make us understand about the topic. As our students tries to explain the lesson, we understand more the topic in a simple way because they taught us in a way where we understand more just like them when they study. We probably have the same opinions and understandings because we are of the same age. They used techniques that somehow we do in studying. It is fun because the teacher can do anything especially when we requested an activity like playing. But being also taught by a student is also difficult coz’ you cannot understand further the lesson because the student are so noisy because they have the freedom to speak. I somehow do not want to listen to the teacher because everybody is noisy and it seems that as the student teacher is having his/her lessons, nobody is listening. The student teacher could not discipline the students who are noisy because they are just afraid (not to mention any). But being taught by a student is a great experienced of both student and the teacher because we a re skilled into different field and we realized each other’s potential in teaching and listening and learning a lot from this great experience. Even though there is a big difference in between a professional teacher and just an ordinary student, I was still happy because they did the great job.I can say that “Learning is more Fun” especially when an experience in bei9ng taught by a students happens coz no matter how hard it is, I knew that being a teacher is more difficult and challenging than just being a student.When the program KYD ended, the student teachers received certificates but for me, being taught by a student was the best moment I ever had with my classmates.

Importance of a Teacher
Who are so called secondary mother? Are they the teachers? Are they important? Can we learn immediately without the help of our second mother?
In education, teachers are those who help students or pupils learn, often in a school. The objective is typically a course of study, lesson plan, or a practical skill, including learning and thinking skills. The different ways to teach are often referred to as the teacher's pedagogy. When deciding what teaching method to use, a teacher will need to consider students' background knowledge, environment, and their learning goals as well as standardized curricula as determined by the relevant authority. The teacher should also be able to deal with students with different abilities and should also be able to deal with learning disabilities. Many times, teachers assist in learning outside of the classroom by accompanying students on field trips. They also supervise study halls, help with the organization of school functions, and serve as supervisors for extracurricular activities.
Teaching may occur face-to-face or via some other modality, e.g. through distance education or e-learning. Teaching can also be mixed with entertainment. When the term education is combined with entertainment, the term edutainment is coined.
Primary and Secondary School Teachers
Perhaps the most significant difference between primary and secondary teaching in the UK is the relationship between teachers and children. In primary schools each class has a teacher who stays with them for most of the week and will teach them the whole curriculum. In secondary schools they will be taught by different subject specialists each session during the week and may have 10 or more different teachers. The relationship between children and their teachers tends to be closer in the primary school where they act as form tutor, specialist teacher and surrogate parent during the course of the day.
This is true throughout most of the United States as well. However, alternative approaches for primary education do exist. One of these, sometimes referred to as a "platoon" system, involves placing a group of students together in one class that moves from one specialist to another for every subject. The advantage here is that students learn from teachers who specialize in one subject and who tend to be more knowledgeable in that one area than a teacher who teaches many subjects. Students still derive a strong sense of security by staying with the same group of peers for all classes.
University teachers
Teachers in college are called instructors or lecturers. In the United States, the term "professor" is usually applied to college or University teachers who have received their Ph.D., while instructors or lecturers have received their Masters degree, and usually are pursuing their Ph.D. Professorial rankings from Assistant Professor through Full Professor that may be defined differently at various institutions. The rank of American university instructors depends in part on the amount of relevant and publishable research completed over time.
An "assistant professor" is typically required to have completed extensive research seminars at the post-graduate level and have written and defended the dissertation. The Ph.D. is almost always required. Assistant professors are similar to lecturers or readers in the United Kingdom. Their initial preparation for the profession takes between eight and twelve years.
An "associate professor" must typically have completed five or more years of additional research, published articles in national and international journals, developed syllabi for the teaching of various courses, provided services to the University (i.e., committee member, faculty senate member, etc.), and in most cases have published refereed books.
The "full professor" in the United States would be the equivalent of the "Professor" in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. It is not typical to achieve the title of "full professor" within the first fifteen to twenty years as an educator and researcher at a university in the United States. It requires dedication to the discipline and eminent, original scholarship, as shown through published works and a diverse curriculum vitae.
In the United Kingdom the title 'Professor' is restricted to university teachers who have been granted a 'chair'. Others are known as lecturers or readers and usually carry the title "Dr." by virtue of having a PhD. A very small number of lecturers, particularly on social science and arts fields, may be titled "Mr/Mrs" etc as they may only have a Masters degree.
Senior teachers
Teachers who look after the whole school are called head teachers, school principals, headmasters or headmistresses. The equivalent in colleges and universities is called the dean, principal or vice-chancellor. See also school leadership.Teachers of this status rarely teach students. A teacher in a grammar or public school in Britain may also be a Head of House. Houses were also used in secondary and comprehensive schools.
As with most large organizations a school needs a hierarchical structure of command, allowing matters to be delegated to a specific department or the senior teachers of the school. In many cases there are deputy headteachers, heads of department (or subject, such as science or history) and heads of year. A head of year is in charge of the pastoral care of one year group.
Every school has a disciplinary procedure which dictates how punishments should be given to misbehaving students. One common method of coping with problems is the idea of escalation whereby the classroom teacher attempts to deal with the student(s) themselves before passing it on to a more senior teacher. Eventually, should the situation not be resolved, the headmaster becomes involved.
Now we all know the importance of a teachers in primary, secondary. University and the seniors. Without them there are no educated people and respected people.
