REACTION PAPER (IPAGLABAN MO – DISIPLINA)

School is one of the most important institution of the state. People expect the school to
teach and shape the students mind, body, and soul. It means that responsibility of teachers
doesn’t just end on teaching knowledge and skills but teachers are also responsible on shaping
the learners manners and values. The episode of Ipaglaban Mo with the hashtag
#IpaglabanMoDisiplina shows how challenging it is to instill values, if values formation doesn’t
start at students home. Jeremy a bully student grow up thinking that it’s okay to said foul words
to other people because he always hear those words from his mother. He was not raise and
taught at home to respect others specially older people. He treat everyone and everything as a
joke and make fun of everyone and every situation. Maricel is a competent teacher but as problem
starts to arise at home it also starts to affect her emotions and eventually affects her performance
as a person. Jeremy’s attitude is really a test to every teachers patience. But it’s not and will never
be a reason to be physically and verbally abuse by another person especially by a teacher.
Because one of a thousand role of a teacher is to ensure child’s safety inside and sometimes,
even outside school.

As a student teacher we are taught to leave everything at home, to be actors and actress
in front of students, to be patient and be kind in every situation. This is the golden rule that teacher
Maricel didn’t do that time, she failed to manage her anger properly, she let the problems and
stress take over her emotions. She regret everything in the end but it’s too late now. License and
years of hardwork in finishing her degree will go to waste. Years that should be spend on teaching
and providing for her family will be spent on a lonely, tiny, jail cell. That’s the price she would pay
on letting her anger take over. I’ve learned a lot in this story, but the most important thing it taught
me is that as a future teacher or just a simple person there will be times that our patience will be
tested. Problems will come, in work, at home, in relationships, and sometimes they come
simultaneously. But we should not let this problems and stress swallow us whole. There are a lot
of ways to vent out our stress and anger, and it doesn’t include hurting and harming other people.
There are lots of positive ways if one doesn’t work do two, if two doesn’t work do three, if you’ve
done everything and still stressed out ask for help. Let your family and friends guide and help you.
There’s nothing more relieving than confining your problems on a person you love and trust.
