According to Espino, one critical role a teacher has to master is coaching, an undertaking that implies “a serious responsibility and tremendous accountability.” He writes that “despite life’s setbacks and complexities, a teacher continuously finds effective and efficient ways to simplify things and make them more comprehensible and meaningful to his or her students.” She is humble enough to admit that “learning may have failed … because the teacher used an ineffective method.” This is why the feedback that she gets from quizzes are vital, because more than determining how well her students learned the lesson, it is her gauge of her effectivity as a teacher. Prof. Esmeralda D. Mostajo, on the other hand, asserts that students can learn by themselves—with some decisive help from the teacher. In the chapter titled “Blending Creativity and Teamwork with Scientific Inquiry,” Mostajo says that aside from making her teach effectively, this blended approach nurtures teamwork and critical thought among her students. This is my observation. None of the above discuss about how parents do their part in shaping behavior-study habit, reading habit and the like which can be developed and acquired during the earlier stage before going to school. And how participative the parents too during the stage where the child starts his/her formal education. Going further backward, is how the child is shaped during the 9 months conception where many factors that can influence the entire developmental stages which can surely affect how a growing child behave with his/her environment.
