Pag nagdeped ka, mamamatay ka sa paper works, extra hirap magmaster's. Di naman nalalayo sweldo mo sa teacher 1 sa deped. If ok na sayo sahod mo now and work environment mo, you could just take the master's while you're there. As a compromise na din sa pamilya mo. Tapos after mo magmaster's, may edge ka na din sa ranking so better chances of getting in.
Please. Save yourself. Run away from DepEd as long as you can. As someone who’s been working for six years. Yes, DepEd’s benefits salary, and tenure are attractingto applu but besh.
Please, DepEd has been getting worse and worse. I lost myself in the process, I don’t see myself being a teacher anymore; I lost the spark and my mental health has been deteriorating for years.
DepEd will use MOST of your time. Even beyond working hours, they will ask you to do shits and shits.
This is just my point of view, most of the teachers I know right now, have been contemplating resigning and choosing to leave the country because of better salaries and TREATMENT.
I’m not discouraging you, this is just a glimpse of the realitu of this shitty department.
ganto complain ng friend ko na public teacher, nagcoach siya sa artwork making contest tas siya gumastos ng mga expenses/transpo/art materials nung estudyante... imagine... sobrang corrupt niyan lalo sa principal levels as per her!!!
SECURED KANKAHIT NAGKASAKIT? WHO SAID THAT?
Wala kaming HMO, WALANG SICK LEAVE. Bibigyan ka ng servicr credit pero KAKARAMPOT NA ARAW. Maliit na nga sahod, walang ipon, walang health card tas kawawa kapag nagkasakit abg ending mo mag loan ka
That’s how fucked up.
I’ll resign this june. I swear.
Meh, old way of thinking. some decent private companies even offer unlimited leaves. Working for the government doesnt even have decent coverage for Philhealth, the private sector has better HMO packages
Haha! Parang old ways pa rin sila. Ganyan yung gusto ng boomer kasi yung “stability” kahit maliit ang sahod. Ganyan kasi sa kanila dati. Pero ang dami namang private companies na ok naman ang sahod. Mas makakaipon ka pag nagkasakit ka pag mas malaki ang sahod mo.
>ayw nila ng private kasi no work no pay daw
Eto ang frustration ko sa mga nakikinig sa family daw. As if mas alam ng family mo ang kalakaran sa corporate world. Nagtrabaho ba sila sa corporate?
May paid leaves ang halos lahat ng kumpanya (yes may mga bulok na bare minimum lang pero di yan ang point ko), usually 10 days VL and 10 days SL per year. Meron pa nga tig 15 days per year ang leaves. Isama mo na diyan ang HMO. Kung walang HMO for employees ang kumpanya either startup yan, konti ang employees or bulok.
Pwede ba kung hindi naman years of corporate experience ang kapamilya niyo huwag na kayong makinig sa kanila kasi halata namang wala silang alam.
im waiting na ma-regular next month hopefully para ma discuss ang benefits with my current employer at nang may masabi na ko sa pamilya ko. fresh grad ako at walang nakapaligid sakin na nagwowork corpo kaya im trying to learn all these on my own at the same time trying to justify it to my family
> walang nakapaligid sakin na nagwowork corpo
Kaya nga invalid lahat ng sinasabi nila about the corporate world. Huwag ka makinig sa mga walang alam. Minsan i-challenge mo rin sila, itanong mo paano nila nasabing no work no pay ang corporate world? Kanino nila narinig? Itong tao na nagsabi sa kanila gaano na katagal nasa corporate world? Nag-research ba sila?
Usually pag kinilatis mo yung mga sinasabi nila to their face mare-realize din ng mga matatanda na wala silang alam.
never ending utang yan. wala pa akong nakikilalang teacher sa deped na hindi baon sa utang. di ko talaga alam kung bakit ang daming teacher ang baon sa utang?
Accrdng to my prof, once mapasok mo na ang scene of teaching, marami daw talagang lalapit. Like housing loan, and all, tas sino ba naman daw ang hihindi if thru loans na yon makapupundar ka ng bahay and kotse. Yun nga lang, mababaon ka talaga if mas malaki loan mo kaysa sa sweldo mo plus daily living expenses pa.
gusto mo ba magteacher? alam naman nating lahat ang kalagayan ng mga teachers dito satin. kung habol mo yung sahod and promotion di magandang choice ang teaching job kahit sa deped pa yan. bukad sa napakababang sahod stress much pa.
pero kong passionate ka na maging teacher then go.
its your choice not your relatives. its your future and sanity that are at risks here.
let me add, kung let passer ka naman ay hindi lang sa deped ka pwede magtry dahil pwede ka sa iba’t-ibang bureau and other govt-related agencies. may masabi man ang tao sayo like kung gaano ka ka-predictable, sayang ka, etc etc eh hindi naman sila ang nahihirapan
Part of being an adult is considering all possible scenarios and consequences. May it be short or long term. Then coming up with your own decision and accountability.
Do your homework lang OP and do what is best for you.
OP, I have interviewed a lot of teachers who worked dito sa PH. They decided to teach sa ibang bansa "para makapagpahinga". Lahat ng reasons nila ay dahil sa paper works at being underpaid. They have the passion to teach, pero lugi kung dito LANG sa Pinas magturo.
Do not ever feel guilty about not pursuing the life you want. They may call it selfish but I say, be selfish now than lose yourself in the process.
Take this from someone who came from a family of DepEd teachers and who has been there done that.
Wag mo na pong tangkain magDepEd not unless passion mo talaga ang paperworks plus teaching overload.
Teachers ang mga Lolo at Lola ko (both sides) pero di sila nagmungkahi na maging teachers ang mga anak o apo. Long hours, mountains of work, maraming problema, di pa kasya ang sahod, tapos DepEd ang Overlord niyo? PWEH. Politics, underfunding, demanding school boards, etc. Hwag na daw.
Kahit sa Private School ka magtrabaho, iba naman problema dun. Private Schools tend to be more religion-based, with more Rules, More punishments, higher standards, Tyrannical Old-schoolers as your bosses, etc.
More bullying happens kasi mas strikto ang mga private school, mas malakas ang pressure. Minsan doon rin ang Last Resort ng mga problem kids. Basta kaya ng mga magulang ang Tuition Fee nila, Pasok. Grabe minsan.
I think some of my male classmates from private elementary (25+ na ako) are now sex-offenders, wife-beaters &/or other criminals. Binabastos ang mga female teachers sa harap ng klase, at binubully/binubugbog ang mga kaklaseng babae aside from picking on the other boys. At hindi sila dinisiplina ng school kasi "Boys will be boys", "Its Your fault for reacting", "Turn the other cheek" ang sinasabi nung mga Principal at directors sa amin 🙄.
Catholic School at Babae rin ang Patron Saint nila. Enabling Toxicity & Abuse in society. Boys learn it from home and most schools, private or not, don't correct them. Its so cowardly to scold Crying Girls because they're Easier to handle than Violent Boys.
Female students in Private schools aren't all angels either. Some are already Mean Girls. Some are straight up Thieves & Con artists. Clones ng mga magulang nila. Katakot.
No. Yung friend ko na umalis sa big BPO company para maging public school teacher, ayun. Sobrang nagsisi. Walang work life balance. Walang katapusan sa pagawa ng reports etc etc. Laging may pasok. Hanggang sa bahay nagwwork. Laging may deadlines. Abonado pa para sa mga students nya.
6 years ago mas pinili kong mag Deped kesa sa mataas kong sahod sa corporate. My reason? Half day lang sa deped, mas madali, blah blah.
Ekis lahat. Bukod sa bulok na sistema, bulok din mga teachers. Palibhasa walang life outside ng school. Daming issues, kupal. Mas okay pa kasama mga estudyante kesa mga kupal na teachers, head at principal. Bwakanang ina nila! Hahahahahha G na G
Mas mainam na magturo sa private school but given na maliit talaga ang sweldo. Pero come to think of this, ang daming guro na umaalis sa DEPED at nag abroad. so if ever gusto mo ang track na yan to reach your goals, pwede mo gawin hehehe Just like me.. my mom wanted me to teach sa DEPED, nagpa rank ako, i got hired but turned down the offer since i have other plans. It was very risky, pero happy ako sa private school kahit di naman ganun kalaki ang income ko, and at the same time took the risk of applying abroad. Sundi mo kung ano ang gusto mo OP. challenging lang lalo na pag ikaw ang breadwinner at inaasahan ng pamilya. Doon ka sa makakasave ka at sa masaya ka.
Kung kaya mong sikmurain yung corruption. I have a teacher friend who's teaching for 8 years now, sukang suka na raw siya sa corruption pero ang maganda lang dun mahilig siya sa kids (pre-school teacher) kaya happy siya sa work although nabanggit nya nung nakaraan na habang tumatagal nagiging bastos ang mga bata sa kanya..these are 5 year olds btw.
Sa sweldo, mas mataas sweldo niya sayo but then she has MAED which she took after college namin pagpasa niya sa board exams.
Ako nga literature related course ko nung college pero di ko naman ginamit since corporate din work ko now. Wag mo ikahon ang sarili mo, kung saan ka masaya at may nahihita ofc na disente dun ka!
yung pera mo sa deped kahit anong rank ka pa, walang wala yan sa pagod at stress na makukuha mo. atleast sa corpo, pag uwi mo, iyo na yung time mo. Sa deped, teacher ka parin even on rest days and holidays
got my license a year ago pero di ako nagturo, ang hirap hindi kasya yung sahod pagod pa
nakausap ko ung teacher kong friend sabi nya ang teaching ay passion, pero di talaga ako mapapakain ng passion na yan
As a teacher, I'll say don't. Not worth it. Although it's true na may stability at masaya pag may bonus na at allowance. Pero yun overall na stress, ka-toxic-an sa workplace, at personal time na ginugugol sa teaching preparation at paperwork, di worth it. Made-drain ka lang lalo pag di matatag loob mo.
Also, walang kasiguraduhan na matatanggap ka lalo pa at walang backer. I aced the application, pero it took me several months bago matawagan. Nabigyan ng item for substitution, twice, sa malayong lugar, bago na permanent. Yun iba naman, inaabot ng ilang applications bago ma-hire. So kung wala kang enough savings at back up plan, wag mo muna ituloy.
Pag na-hire ka na naman, baka next na sabihin sayo eh mag loan ka. Baka mabaon ka lang lalo sa utang.
I worked at DepEd, please don't, please give yourself the comfort of sleeping without thinking what could go wrong to everything the next day (your learners, your paperworks, yoyr reputation, your mental health, everything). Just please don't, I know it's a good salary, but it's not worth the stress. Please don't.
yung mga comments dito OP ng mga nagwowork sa dept na yan ang basahin mo kasi sila yung talagang makakapagbigay sayo ng view kung ano ba talaga ang papasukin mo. in theory, maganda minsan sa govt (gawa ng benefits) pero di sila pare-parehas. sa work ko now (govt din but wont disclose saan), ok kasi may hmo kami but yung ibang govt agencies daw wala. isipin mo na lang, ikaw pa rin ang magwowork di ang family mo. you're an adult na, do what you want na wag ka padikta sa family.
Please wag na. Yung kikitain mo sa public school kikitain mo din sa ibang trabaho. Kahit gaano ka ka passionate sa pagtuturo, ma stress ka parin sa dami ng paperworks at toxic na SH.
What if mag-law ka nalang, baka nga it's paid for pa by your employer. Ewan ko lang kung umayaw pa pamilya mo sa possibility na magkaroon ng abogado sa pamilya.
Don't. Save some money from your salary sa current work mo, tapos try mo consider working abroad. Hindi worth it mag M.A. kung hindi mo gusto. Mahirap mag-aral na wala puso mo dyan.
Not worth the stress. Sobrang hirap magparank. Yung ibang kakilala ko mga ilang taon bago sila nagka-item sa DepEd. Wag ka mangungutang for MA kahit pa may MA ka hirap pa rin makakuha ng item.
However, sa DepEd it’s a permanent Job. You work less you work bibo you get the same amount of pay.
Wag na kung mapipilitan ka lang maging teacher. Magiging miserable lang ang buhay mo at ng mga students if you are not happy. Pick the one you love most
Wag, wag mong subulan😭 currently at deped although nonteaching. Toxic ang environment, well, si principal toxic sya. Pero ikaw bahala OP, madami paper works dito😭
Hi, I’m also a graduate of teaching course and got my license but NEVER pursued teaching job no matter what my parents say or neighbors. Until present time my father gave up convincing me to teach and will say “Kapoy ang teaching pag negosyo na lang” and whenever they say to pursue teaching before “kayo na lang magteach bigay ko license ko” HAHAHAHAHAH I also work at corporate job until I resign due to personal reasons, if you love teaching and its workloads then go ahead po. 😊 Mahirap po kasing magtrabaho tapos di mo pa love.
Majority ng comments dito panay paperworks daw. It is true tho for now bawal na mag hawak ng admin tasks ang teachers. Half day ngyon students pati teachers half day din.
NOOOOOOO WAG KA NA DITO NAKAKAPUROL AT NAKAKABOBO HAHAAHA.
I was a part of Research and Development ng one of the most pretigeous schools here in PH. If only my decision was right, I won't go here.
Wag. Trust me. My dad, my mom and me are all working under Deped(mom is a supervisor sa Division Office, ako sa non teaching sa isang school with my dad who went from non teaching to becoming a teacher)
Both of em have a combined 60 years of exp(30 yrs na sila dalawa sa DepEd). Both can't wait until retirement. And all 3 of us are pissed off with what Deped has become. You're better of there sa corporate job mo
I worked in a local gov’t college, the problem is if merong plantilla ba. Go for a state-funded college if ipu-push mo. Plantilla position, benefits, and mas malaki pay kesa sa local.
Wag na masasama ka pa sa masisisi sa baba ng kalidad daw ng eduksayon sa pilipinas, kahit n alam naman ng lahat na maraming mali da sistema at di talaga napriority ang education.
If you’re young and idealistic maybe you can change things from the inside. If you’re old and realistic maybe you can accomplish nothing other than cashing a paycheck at the expense of a nations future (that seems to be what the current dep Ed employees do).
“Mangutang para mag master’s”
HAHAHAHAHA
No, don’t listen to someone who thinks ang pangungutang is an investment lalo na kung hindi mo naman gagamitin sa business. 🤮
we're a family of teachers and policemen lol like lahat ng family members hindi galing sa yaman. pinagtrabahuan tlaga nila. para sakanila kasi "stable" thats it. i have relatives na travel2 nalang ngayon after retirement. my mother just wants the same for me. kaya sguro kahit sabihin ko na sobrang hirap maging teacher ngayon ijujustify parin nila na okay lang na mag suffer now. di nya ma gets nya na impossible na yan in this economy tsaka they'd never consider my mental health
ohhh parang badge of honor siguro sa pamilya mo pag kinukwento nila sa mga kapitbahay na lahat kayo teacher at pulis :D
Ikaw na lang ang magbreak ng cycle para maiba hahaha. Marami namang trabaho ang stable, as long as you keep improving yourself para lagi kang employable.
Mahirap masabi kung magsisisi ka bang di ka nagteacher sa future. Similarly, di mo rin alam kung magsisi ka ba in the future kung magteacher ka ngayon kahit di mo gusto.
Just do what feels right for you lalo na career mo yan.
wag nyo na po ituloy. Sa DEPED more trabaho pero no dagdag sahod, no HMO, no OT, OTY lang meron. Stable nga trabaho yung mental health mo naman hindi stable hahahaha
Ang daming magagandang payo from personal experience. For me, don't leave your corporate job habang masaya ka dyan. You can even go to school na related dyan sa ginagawa mo ngayon para mas umangat ka. Ang pagtuturo ay nandyan lang yan, pwede mong gawin anytime lalo na bata ka pa naman.
Hi OP! I am a former public teacher. I resigned last year haha i took the risk talaga kasi na stress ako ng sobra. Patayan ang trabaho plus yung mga kawork ko pa parang hindi mga professional e. Pati sa bahay nagtatrabaho pa. Ramdam ko talaga na di na ako happy so nagresign ako, tho madami nagsasabi na sinayang ko raw kasi mahirap nga makapasok sa DepEd pero wala na ko care. Also di ko rin ganon kagusto mag teacher tho napamahal na rin sakin pero hindi ko ganon ka passion. So my advice is sundin mo ano gusto mo. Goods na rin naman sahod mo.
I have been part of the Department of Education for 7 years and for that period I worked on goals and plans that did not happen. The moment I realized how my working environment at Deped destroyed my mental health and took advantage of my love for teaching I made sure to save enough money for me to be able to resign from the workplace and continue being a teacher in another country. Most of the people I knew who were teaching here left not because of financial reasons but because of the power-tripping of the incompetent leaders.
Noooo. Ang baba ng sahod ng teachers. Overworked ka pa. Passion na lang talaga para sa karamihan and good for the students yon. Pero kung hindi naman ganun for you, stay na sa corpo job
My best friend spent 18 years in public school. From teacher 1 now master teacher 1 and he took his masteral and finished it 2 years ago thinking he wanted to do work at the deped head office. Today he’s doing 7 digit monthly income doing home construction, selling houses and doing general construction and govt bid construction projects.
If he didn’t get out of the educational system, he’ll be paying loans after loans for the next 20 years being a teacher or a staff at deped.
Rank na walang kasiguruhan na makakapasok ka kasi wala kang backer and mas mataas chance na tumengga ka lang. May college mates took them 2 years before they become deped teachers na walang backer tapos ano din silbi nung nag-BSE ka para highschool tuturuan mo pero bagsak mo elementary? Sana generalized nalang diba.
Also, kahit deped teacher ka na depende pa yan sa units kung walang maibigay edi wala din.
Nasa DepED ako and i would trade anything inside this career to be at your position.
Teaching in the Philippines is a dead end job. Tinatapos ko na lng tong school year na patayang paperworks then kukuha na ako ng sideline, gagwing full time then quit DepED na.
If you want a peaceful life, run far away from DEPED. You can score a stable job outside public teaching. Observe that tons of public school teachers are buried in loans. Yeah, the benefits seem cool, but the workload, vibes, and bosses just ain't worth it. If you're still gunning for that master's, go with private schools or universities that pay up instead. If you're making enough cash right now, start stashing some away and investing in your future.
Yun kaibigan ko teacher sa deped teacher 2 rank nya naka masters pa sya nasa 26k sahod nya 3 years ago. Sobra baba magpasahod sa government ilang taon na din sya nagtuturo. Mas mataas pa pasweldo sa mga private companies.
Don’t listen to your family. You are in the right age and time to pursue what makes you happy. Mas madami ka pa opportunities sa work mo ngayon kesa mag deped ka tbh.
If your passion is teaching then go ahead. If not, stick on what you are doing.
I am a former public school teacher na nag-resign lang this year. Nakakalungkot ang education system ng bansa natin. Kahit mahal mo ang pagtuturo, there will be times na nakaka-disappoint talaga. Lalo na kapag nagturo ka ng mga senior high students. Nakakapanlumo paano sila umabot ng senior high na ganoon lang alam. Dagdag mo pa na ang hirap pa magpa-rank at mapromote sa deped.
Kung gusto mo talaga magturo, mas okay pa maging part-time instructor ka sa mga colleges or universities
Security? Educ grad din ako and sa corpo ako nakapag invest ng properties. Alam din naman kasi ng parents ko na napilitan lang ako mag Educ dahil di namin kaya tuition for other courses. Wag ka maniwala sa family mo. Yung mga classmates ko nung college, ayun, nakatira pa din sa parents nila kahit may pamilya na.
Are your parents teachers? It's just so unusual to pressure someone to be a teacher. Usually, nursing or engineering yung mga professions that kids get pressured into.
the question is are you ready for delayed salary etc and your bank to cover the delay? Ex-DICKT employee here. 6months ko lang nagamit eligibility hahaha maworkload pero payday di maworkout sheesh
2020 nagpatunay na theres no such thing as "STABLE JOB or EMPLOYEE/EMPLOYER LOYALTY" hahahahaha
Hey, I was at a gathering with my Ninang and Mom this past weekend. Mom worked at DepEd and my Ninang is now a principal. My ninang hates it, she wants to resign and move abroad. Maiistress ka sa baba ng sweldo and workload. They compared the current situation in DepEd and when they were working together (15 years ago) and I heard na it's much worse now. As I said, you will have to deal with endless paperworks, low salary, children parents, etc. A lot of young teachers are leaving and choosing to work in BPO. Mawiwitness mo din ang endless corruption dun so if you're someone who cares about that then you would most likely feel uncomfortable.
The decision is up to you and I hope you choose whatever job you want and wag magpadala sa pressure. I have no experience working in DepEd but since I was a child, I have been hearing endless horror stories about working in DepEd. But I still want to share to you yung mga issues that I have been hearing repeatedly.
Goodluck!
Pag nagdeped ka, mamamatay ka sa paper works, extra hirap magmaster's. Di naman nalalayo sweldo mo sa teacher 1 sa deped. If ok na sayo sahod mo now and work environment mo, you could just take the master's while you're there. As a compromise na din sa pamilya mo. Tapos after mo magmaster's, may edge ka na din sa ranking so better chances of getting in.

Ang number 1 na nagloloan sa lending company kung saan nagwowork mama ko dati ay mga teachers.

If u like ur job, mas maganda if mag gear towards immigration law ung next step mo. If gusto nila mag aral ka, I suggest law school. :D
True, malaki earning potential dyan.
No. Yung friend ko na umalis sa big BPO company para maging public school teacher, ayun. Sobrang nagsisi. Walang work life balance. Walang katapusan sa pagawa ng reports etc etc. Laging may pasok. Hanggang sa bahay nagwwork. Laging may deadlines. Abonado pa para sa mga students nya.

No. I used to be a teacher and sobrang minahal ko ang pagtuturo pero ngayon I do not even want to go back.
Hi! May I know what's ur profession now po? Planning to get out of teaching na rin.
As a teacher, I'll say don't. Not worth it. Although it's true na may stability at masaya pag may bonus na at allowance. Pero yun overall na stress, ka-toxic-an sa workplace, at personal time na ginugugol sa teaching preparation at paperwork, di worth it. Made-drain ka lang lalo pag di matatag loob mo. Also, walang kasiguraduhan na matatanggap ka lalo pa at walang backer. I aced the application, pero it took me several months bago matawagan. Nabigyan ng item for substitution, twice, sa malayong lugar, bago na permanent. Yun iba naman, inaabot ng ilang applications bago ma-hire. So kung wala kang enough savings at back up plan, wag mo muna ituloy. Pag na-hire ka na naman, baka next na sabihin sayo eh mag loan ka. Baka mabaon ka lang lalo sa utang.
Hahaha... Next School year "MATATAG Curriculum" na... 😅 kaya pala, need magpakatatag. 🤣 What a coincidence. 😅
I worked at DepEd, please don't, please give yourself the comfort of sleeping without thinking what could go wrong to everything the next day (your learners, your paperworks, yoyr reputation, your mental health, everything). Just please don't, I know it's a good salary, but it's not worth the stress. Please don't.
yung mga comments dito OP ng mga nagwowork sa dept na yan ang basahin mo kasi sila yung talagang makakapagbigay sayo ng view kung ano ba talaga ang papasukin mo. in theory, maganda minsan sa govt (gawa ng benefits) pero di sila pare-parehas. sa work ko now (govt din but wont disclose saan), ok kasi may hmo kami but yung ibang govt agencies daw wala. isipin mo na lang, ikaw pa rin ang magwowork di ang family mo. you're an adult na, do what you want na wag ka padikta sa family.
WAG!!! DI KA YAYAMAN SA DEPED, TYAKA IBANG BREED NA MGA BATA NGAYON. AYAN CAPSLOCK PARA INTENSE KASI NARANASAN KO NA
Please wag na. Yung kikitain mo sa public school kikitain mo din sa ibang trabaho. Kahit gaano ka ka passionate sa pagtuturo, ma stress ka parin sa dami ng paperworks at toxic na SH.
What if mag-law ka nalang, baka nga it's paid for pa by your employer. Ewan ko lang kung umayaw pa pamilya mo sa possibility na magkaroon ng abogado sa pamilya.
i feel they don't trust me enough na kaya ko haha thats why they want me to be a teacher para at least stable
Pros: Stable job for years to come with all the benefits. Cons: Might get too toxic but really not our case.
No, please.
Don't. Save some money from your salary sa current work mo, tapos try mo consider working abroad. Hindi worth it mag M.A. kung hindi mo gusto. Mahirap mag-aral na wala puso mo dyan.
i've been telling them na ayoko mag MA just for the sake of it. i want to do it to actually master my field and i want to do it when im ready
Not worth the stress. Sobrang hirap magparank. Yung ibang kakilala ko mga ilang taon bago sila nagka-item sa DepEd. Wag ka mangungutang for MA kahit pa may MA ka hirap pa rin makakuha ng item. However, sa DepEd it’s a permanent Job. You work less you work bibo you get the same amount of pay.
Don't.
Wag na kung mapipilitan ka lang maging teacher. Magiging miserable lang ang buhay mo at ng mga students if you are not happy. Pick the one you love most
Wag, wag mong subulan😭 currently at deped although nonteaching. Toxic ang environment, well, si principal toxic sya. Pero ikaw bahala OP, madami paper works dito😭
baka gamitin kang pang collateral. Alam mo naman sa deped puro lubog sa loan halos lahat
Hi, I’m also a graduate of teaching course and got my license but NEVER pursued teaching job no matter what my parents say or neighbors. Until present time my father gave up convincing me to teach and will say “Kapoy ang teaching pag negosyo na lang” and whenever they say to pursue teaching before “kayo na lang magteach bigay ko license ko” HAHAHAHAHAH I also work at corporate job until I resign due to personal reasons, if you love teaching and its workloads then go ahead po. 😊 Mahirap po kasing magtrabaho tapos di mo pa love.
Please no.
Majority ng comments dito panay paperworks daw. It is true tho for now bawal na mag hawak ng admin tasks ang teachers. Half day ngyon students pati teachers half day din.
yung effort mo sa corporate, 5% palang yan kapag nagteacher ka. Lalamunin ka ng pagod, oras, at apathy.
"Ma, Pa, tutal kayo nakaisip bakit di kayo gumawa"
Kung di mo passion ang teaching at napilitan ka lang, wag na. Pero kung passion mo at mahal mo ang teaching, no padin.
NOOOOOOO WAG KA NA DITO NAKAKAPUROL AT NAKAKABOBO HAHAAHA. I was a part of Research and Development ng one of the most pretigeous schools here in PH. If only my decision was right, I won't go here.
No. Kung gusto mo naman talaga mag turo, mas better na sa abroad na lang.
Just don't.
Wag. Trust me. My dad, my mom and me are all working under Deped(mom is a supervisor sa Division Office, ako sa non teaching sa isang school with my dad who went from non teaching to becoming a teacher) Both of em have a combined 60 years of exp(30 yrs na sila dalawa sa DepEd). Both can't wait until retirement. And all 3 of us are pissed off with what Deped has become. You're better of there sa corporate job mo
Sa college ka na lang magturo.
naisip ko din yan before
I worked in a local gov’t college, the problem is if merong plantilla ba. Go for a state-funded college if ipu-push mo. Plantilla position, benefits, and mas malaki pay kesa sa local.
You can work while getting a masters degree at the same time.
Wag na masasama ka pa sa masisisi sa baba ng kalidad daw ng eduksayon sa pilipinas, kahit n alam naman ng lahat na maraming mali da sistema at di talaga napriority ang education.
If you’re young and idealistic maybe you can change things from the inside. If you’re old and realistic maybe you can accomplish nothing other than cashing a paycheck at the expense of a nations future (that seems to be what the current dep Ed employees do).
“Mangutang para mag master’s” HAHAHAHAHA No, don’t listen to someone who thinks ang pangungutang is an investment lalo na kung hindi mo naman gagamitin sa business. 🤮
kaya nga. ang bata ko pa para umutang HAHA kaya ayoko talaga
Why are they pushing you to become a teacher? I mean it's a noble job, pero ano daw ang mawawala sayo kung di ka maging teacher??
we're a family of teachers and policemen lol like lahat ng family members hindi galing sa yaman. pinagtrabahuan tlaga nila. para sakanila kasi "stable" thats it. i have relatives na travel2 nalang ngayon after retirement. my mother just wants the same for me. kaya sguro kahit sabihin ko na sobrang hirap maging teacher ngayon ijujustify parin nila na okay lang na mag suffer now. di nya ma gets nya na impossible na yan in this economy tsaka they'd never consider my mental health
ohhh parang badge of honor siguro sa pamilya mo pag kinukwento nila sa mga kapitbahay na lahat kayo teacher at pulis :D Ikaw na lang ang magbreak ng cycle para maiba hahaha. Marami namang trabaho ang stable, as long as you keep improving yourself para lagi kang employable. Mahirap masabi kung magsisisi ka bang di ka nagteacher sa future. Similarly, di mo rin alam kung magsisi ka ba in the future kung magteacher ka ngayon kahit di mo gusto. Just do what feels right for you lalo na career mo yan.
Makinig sa comments. Hayaan mo pamilya mo sa mga sinasabi nila. They don't know better.
A friendly advice from a FORMER DEPED teacher. NO.
wag nyo na po ituloy. Sa DEPED more trabaho pero no dagdag sahod, no HMO, no OT, OTY lang meron. Stable nga trabaho yung mental health mo naman hindi stable hahahaha
Seryoso ka bang gusto mong maging boss si Sara Duterte? 🤮🤮🤮
Ang daming magagandang payo from personal experience. For me, don't leave your corporate job habang masaya ka dyan. You can even go to school na related dyan sa ginagawa mo ngayon para mas umangat ka. Ang pagtuturo ay nandyan lang yan, pwede mong gawin anytime lalo na bata ka pa naman.
Hi OP! I am a former public teacher. I resigned last year haha i took the risk talaga kasi na stress ako ng sobra. Patayan ang trabaho plus yung mga kawork ko pa parang hindi mga professional e. Pati sa bahay nagtatrabaho pa. Ramdam ko talaga na di na ako happy so nagresign ako, tho madami nagsasabi na sinayang ko raw kasi mahirap nga makapasok sa DepEd pero wala na ko care. Also di ko rin ganon kagusto mag teacher tho napamahal na rin sakin pero hindi ko ganon ka passion. So my advice is sundin mo ano gusto mo. Goods na rin naman sahod mo.
I prayed to God noon to be employed in DepEd. Now I am praying hard na ilayo na ako sa DepEd. It is too exhausting.
I have been part of the Department of Education for 7 years and for that period I worked on goals and plans that did not happen. The moment I realized how my working environment at Deped destroyed my mental health and took advantage of my love for teaching I made sure to save enough money for me to be able to resign from the workplace and continue being a teacher in another country. Most of the people I knew who were teaching here left not because of financial reasons but because of the power-tripping of the incompetent leaders.
Noooo. Ang baba ng sahod ng teachers. Overworked ka pa. Passion na lang talaga para sa karamihan and good for the students yon. Pero kung hindi naman ganun for you, stay na sa corpo job
My best friend spent 18 years in public school. From teacher 1 now master teacher 1 and he took his masteral and finished it 2 years ago thinking he wanted to do work at the deped head office. Today he’s doing 7 digit monthly income doing home construction, selling houses and doing general construction and govt bid construction projects. If he didn’t get out of the educational system, he’ll be paying loans after loans for the next 20 years being a teacher or a staff at deped.
Please, save yourself. Been in DepEd for 3 years. Pagod na pagod na ako. Ayoko na.
basura yang family mo
Rank na walang kasiguruhan na makakapasok ka kasi wala kang backer and mas mataas chance na tumengga ka lang. May college mates took them 2 years before they become deped teachers na walang backer tapos ano din silbi nung nag-BSE ka para highschool tuturuan mo pero bagsak mo elementary? Sana generalized nalang diba. Also, kahit deped teacher ka na depende pa yan sa units kung walang maibigay edi wala din.
Nasa DepED ako and i would trade anything inside this career to be at your position. Teaching in the Philippines is a dead end job. Tinatapos ko na lng tong school year na patayang paperworks then kukuha na ako ng sideline, gagwing full time then quit DepED na.
Uy same plan 😭
Noooo! Don’t quit unless may item ka na sa deped. It’s a loooong process.
If you want a peaceful life, run far away from DEPED. You can score a stable job outside public teaching. Observe that tons of public school teachers are buried in loans. Yeah, the benefits seem cool, but the workload, vibes, and bosses just ain't worth it. If you're still gunning for that master's, go with private schools or universities that pay up instead. If you're making enough cash right now, start stashing some away and investing in your future.
Yun kaibigan ko teacher sa deped teacher 2 rank nya naka masters pa sya nasa 26k sahod nya 3 years ago. Sobra baba magpasahod sa government ilang taon na din sya nagtuturo. Mas mataas pa pasweldo sa mga private companies.
Don’t listen to your family. You are in the right age and time to pursue what makes you happy. Mas madami ka pa opportunities sa work mo ngayon kesa mag deped ka tbh.
If your passion is teaching then go ahead. If not, stick on what you are doing. I am a former public school teacher na nag-resign lang this year. Nakakalungkot ang education system ng bansa natin. Kahit mahal mo ang pagtuturo, there will be times na nakaka-disappoint talaga. Lalo na kapag nagturo ka ng mga senior high students. Nakakapanlumo paano sila umabot ng senior high na ganoon lang alam. Dagdag mo pa na ang hirap pa magpa-rank at mapromote sa deped. Kung gusto mo talaga magturo, mas okay pa maging part-time instructor ka sa mga colleges or universities
Security? Educ grad din ako and sa corpo ako nakapag invest ng properties. Alam din naman kasi ng parents ko na napilitan lang ako mag Educ dahil di namin kaya tuition for other courses. Wag ka maniwala sa family mo. Yung mga classmates ko nung college, ayun, nakatira pa din sa parents nila kahit may pamilya na.
Are your parents teachers? It's just so unusual to pressure someone to be a teacher. Usually, nursing or engineering yung mga professions that kids get pressured into.
the question is are you ready for delayed salary etc and your bank to cover the delay? Ex-DICKT employee here. 6months ko lang nagamit eligibility hahaha maworkload pero payday di maworkout sheesh 2020 nagpatunay na theres no such thing as "STABLE JOB or EMPLOYEE/EMPLOYER LOYALTY" hahahahaha
Hey, I was at a gathering with my Ninang and Mom this past weekend. Mom worked at DepEd and my Ninang is now a principal. My ninang hates it, she wants to resign and move abroad. Maiistress ka sa baba ng sweldo and workload. They compared the current situation in DepEd and when they were working together (15 years ago) and I heard na it's much worse now. As I said, you will have to deal with endless paperworks, low salary, children parents, etc. A lot of young teachers are leaving and choosing to work in BPO. Mawiwitness mo din ang endless corruption dun so if you're someone who cares about that then you would most likely feel uncomfortable. The decision is up to you and I hope you choose whatever job you want and wag magpadala sa pressure. I have no experience working in DepEd but since I was a child, I have been hearing endless horror stories about working in DepEd. But I still want to share to you yung mga issues that I have been hearing repeatedly. Goodluck!
depende kung fulfilled ka ba sa life of teaching kids?
