SCENE 1: Oh my gosh! The time is so quick! I am so late on my class.

(open the laptop and wait for the students to join.

TEACHER : Good morning class, Sorry I’m late on our first meeting. But anyways, it’s just an orientation,
so we don’t need to be so formal and serious. You know… Let’s just be you know… go with the flow.
Kinda’ like that… Is it okay with you guys?

STUDENT: Ok ma’am???!!!! (hesitant reaction)

SCENE 2:

TEACHER: Good morning class it seems that some of you are not yet here, so let’s wait for them for
another 15 minutes.

STUDENTS: But ma’am, we already wasted half an hour because you’re also late. Our time will not be
enough anymore to discuss the report.

TEACHER: Oh…. It’s okay class. Don’t you worry too much. You just read it to finish quickly. Don’t bother
to explain it that much. It will be easy and convenient for all of us that way, don’t you think???

STUDENT: (Looking with each other hesitantly.) Okay ma’am.

SCENE 3:

TEACHER: Miss please read this.

STUDENT: (Read the text slide.) Done ma’am.

TEACHER: Oh, you’re already done? Okay next, will you please read the another one.

STUDENT: ( Read the text) Finish ma’am.

TEACHER: Okay that’s it. Do you have any question about the topic we discussed?

STUDENT: But ma’am, you haven’t discuss anything yet!

CONSCIENCE:

PROFESSIONAL: Go, explained it to them. You still have that much time to explain it.

PERSONAL: Oh! Don’t bother they can understand it by themselves…. Halleer….they are already senior
high students.

TEACHER: Reading the slides are enough class, you just study it in your home, okay?

STUDENT: Okay ma’am.

Student- Good morning ma’am, I’m sorry I’m late.

Teacher- what happened to you? Why are you late?

Student-I dropped by my sister in her school, because her service didn’t came, that’s why I’m late.

Personal Conscience- Let it slide, at least she’s able to come. Remember it’s better to be late than never.

Professional Conscience- it is her duty to come to school on time as a student. And to you as a
professional teacher, you must not tolerate things like this. As if she is the only member in their family?
Where is her father? Mother? Think of it!

a second. Understood?

Student- yes ma’am.

Teacher- get one-half sheet of paper, we’ll be having short quiz.

Student- but ma’am we haven’t discuss anything yet.

Teacher- stop complaining! Let’s see if you learned something from your past years in this subject.
Student- ohhhh! Sighhhhh…

Teacher- okay number 1. Identity the correct answer.

(After the quiz)

Teacher- what is this?!! Is this all you’ve got? How come you didn’t know this simple rules in Subject
Verb-Agreement? Are all just sleeping during the discussions of your previous teachers? My god, this is
unacceptable. Tomorrow, we’ll have another quiz after my discussion. I expect you to pass this time or
else! Just see you again next year in my class! With this lousy performance don’t expect high grade from
me. And take note, don’t be absent without a valid reason. I’m not giving special quizzes or accepting
floor wax, brooms, electric fan, or other donations from you! That’s all. Goodbye class.

(Student’s giving their feedback)

Student 1- you know what, Ms. Ortega is really excellent in her profession. But I’m kind’a scared to
approach her.

Student 2- I feel you girl! She’s so scary, that’s why I’m not asking even when I don’t understand some
part of the lesson.

Student 3- yeah, I just keep it in because I’m so afraid to approach her.

PROFESSIONAL WITH A HEART

TEACHER: Good morning class, today I am going to discuss on how to make it become more easier for
you to solve this problem. I know that most of you are having difficulties in this topic.

you.

SCENE 3

TEACHER: Ms. , are you having difficulties in my subject? Or do you have a problem at
home? Because, it seems that your quizzes are dropping continuously.

STUDENT: Ahhh…. (heads are down and silent)…

CONSCIENCE

PERSONAL: Scold her, it seems that she’s not interested in learning at all !!!

PROFESSIONAL: Be patient, she might be having a difficult time that she’s keeping in, that’s why she
can’t focus.

TEACHER: Okay, its okay if you’re not yet ready to tell me. But I must talk to your parent about this
matter, is it okay?

STUDENT: Yes ma’am!

TEACHER: Tell her to meet me after my afternoon class tomorrow, okay?

STUDENT: Okay ma’am.

PARENT: Good afternoon ma’am I am the mother of Ms.

TEACHER: Oh. Good afternoon Mrs. . Thank you for meeting me today, Honestly, I am
worried about your daughter. Lately, her performance in my class is quiet unstable. I would like to ask
you if she have any problem at home, or any sort of difficulties right now.

PARENT: Don’t worry ma’am, I will talk to her at home. Actually , she haven’t mention anything about it
to me.

TEACHER: oh okay Mrs. It will be a great help if we can help each other on monitoring her, I
am hoping that she will get back her eagerness on studying.

PARENT: Okay ma’am, I’ll do my best to help her at home.

TEACHER: That will be good ! That’s all. Thank you for coming Mrs. . Have a nice day!
