What Must I Do ?

CHED ORDER MEMO

Cagayan De Oro, Philippines
April 15, 2019 3:37am CST
My co-teachers and me are so shocked about the memo from Philippines' Commission on Higher Education , (CHED) that stated that classes in all colleges and universities national and local governments units , will have classes to commence in August . What am I going to do for a very long vacation? I have savings but August is too far and the salary will be by September . I , and almost all teachers in the tertiary level feel worried about this CHED memo. How nice if there is another writing site that pays high so I can have something to survive for almost 5 months starting this month. There is indeed , no permanence in this world. There are always changes. Thanks for feeling me. Image credit to Facebook

They should not do things like this, I imagine that many teachers have your same problem. I think that you can "teach online" and you surely can make more than trying writing sites.

@LadyDuck , yes, true @Shavkat, he is teaching on line for many years. I may ask him if there is hiring in their company. I edited the photo image, image memo from CHED.

@cacay1 My company is always on hire. I think all of us can apply here. They are looking for native speakers lately.

I have not heard about this. Schools that tried to start their classes on such month went back to the regular opening of classes eventually.

I am not supportive of the move to adjust school opening to August. Imagine having classes during summer heat? It will have an impact on our power consumption not to mention our students' health.

@sunrisefan , yes this is the first time. Maybe there is war after the election,LOL.Try to read the post memo from CHED. All the schools that I am teaching own by national and local governments. I hope there is an appeal to proceed the same usual month,June. My students messaged me telling about their worries, why? Vacation is too long.It bores anyone.

We were also surprised of this development. I think writing sites do not really pay that much. Are you on virily too? it's also slow there. I am registered on upwork but did not do any proposal yet. I have friends who are with rarejobs and other tutorial site for ESL, which pay better.

@florelway, writing sites cannot support our major needs.Though small earning from a site, it could help in other way.I may apply abroad.

@florelway if I cannot find an on line job, I may go back to China and teach there again for 5 months only.

@cacay1 so you intend of leaving your current job as professor of a state university? I figure that decision came up because of the 5 month lull. I hope the Government should have provided subsidy for all those who will be affected by the sudden implementation.

Maybe you should find a teaching job online, like tutoring English. Some here are online teachers.

@Letranknight2015, you are right my friend. I need a part time job that I could earn better. I earn almost P65,000 monthly, merged income of the two schools that I am teaching.Actually, I am scared now. I hope there is a brave one to appeal to CHED to start the same and usual month,June.

Shouldn't you be given salaries or allowances to help you last until September?

@cacay1 I see. Good thing you have your savings to depend on, also, it might help to get a part-time job while waiting for classes to resume. At any rate, I wish you the best.

@Beatburn , actually, yes but I am not yet a regular faculty in USTP. It takes 8 to 9 years to wait. I taught in a private university and transferred here.It will be my 9th year this June. I was told by June I can have item. Three years ago, there was a mass hiring and converting of part time to full time regular, but I was I in New Zealand that time with a work visa, and my task there did not prosper for so many reasons.When I came back, the items were already distributed. That was my fate between two destinies unfulfilled.

That is unreasonable to expect you to survive so long with no income. Perhaps you could find some temporary employment to tide you over?

@jaboUK, That is true, Mylot earning can't support me though it helps in other way.There is a site that pays high, but the requirement is 2,800 words with 5 sub-topics, seems cruel enough at $50 pay per article and under judgment if to be accepted or not.I cannot take it, too laborious.It is not easy to gather research and establish to their site with no assurance of publication.

That must have come as a shock to you and the other teachers and to the students, as well. If I had to, I'd look for online teaching jobs or tutor students. I hope you find something.

Oh that sounds bad. If it is what the CHED memo said, you have no choice. Maybe you can find something to earn for this long vacation.

@thelme55 yes true, so unfair why he didn't inform his son in Christchurch to inform me where he is.Maybe he is so thin this time. I sense he is still okay despite his sicknesses because of his caliber doctors.
