DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones expressed a strong opposition to corporal punishment.
DepEd Secretary – The Department of Education Secretary Leonor Briones aired out the strong stand of her department against corporal punishment in teaching.
Teaching is indeed no easy job. A classroom is a venue wherein a single teacher gets to meet a big groups of students – ranging from 15-25 in private schools or 35-45 in some public schools.
The big group that a single teacher has to face is indeed a challenge. Not all students are attentive enough, not everyone has long attention span, and not all are performers and active listeners.
There are a lot of factors that would really challenge an educator and human as they are, getting on to their nerves is an inevitable thing most especially when coupled with pressure and stress.
But despite the human urges at times, still the Department of Education stands to be against the corporal punishment to students.
