It has been a long journey for me trying to find a school that would fit the kind of perspective I have of education. I have been to several schools before and I noticed that very few of them give high value to each and every student. It has been an ongoing disease that most educators just teach and do not care if the seeds of knowledge that they plant on their students are absorbed well enough for them to grow, bloom, and move to the next level.
I admire MITIS for its student-centered atmosphere. I cannot agree more with the line quoted by Dr. Santos from Ralph Waldo Emerson that “The secret of education is respect for the child.” For me, children are like sponges. They absorb what is readily given to them. They also learn best from example. If we respect our students, they will likely respect us in return and carry the same attitude when they are on their own.
I think that students are the most essential part of the school. It’s true that we, teachers, are working for them. However, this idea is not in any way to make us feel inferior but to make us develop a heart that aims and hopes for the good of each student. In times when we feel down and we ask ourselves why we have entered into this kind of profession, we can just go back to the fact that students depend on us.
Early on at this stage, I have already seen that MITIS really works for the learners. Most of the ideas included in the philosophy as well as the mission and vision of the school are well thought of to cater to the needs of the students. The whole school community is focused on how it can help achieve its students’ dreams and aspirations.
I see that students are happy in this school. Happiness is such a common word but is not so commonly found in each individual. For me, happiness, more than just being a concept of having fun and enjoying school, serves as a fuel that make the students feel motivated. To motivate our students, we must also try and understand each level of learning as well as concepts and ideas that can get their attention most efficiently.
My main philosophy of education is to meet the needs of the students in all areas of learning as well as in experiences they would go through within the school. With MITIS, I have now found a partner in meeting this goal.
