1. The All Knowing
This type believes he knows everything yet
is pregnant with syntax errors. He is power hungry and fantasizes to lead a
herd of sheep. He is also a politician. He hops from one agency to another to
befriend people and use them for career advancement. Since he has built a
clout, he always gets the best pie. Cunning and dangerous because he claims he
is good, he projects an aura that he is the busiest molecule on campus. In
short, he is called the ‘full hot air
balloon’.
2. The Laid-back
This type believes his job is only
confined in the four corners of the classroom. He gets burned when he stays in
school beyond her official time. He is the mediocre teacher who thinks that
change is a burden instead of a challenge. He collects notebooks and stacks
them in the faculty room without even checking its content. Oftentimes he talks
of small things and feels that teaching is more of a job than an engagement.
There are times he comes to school in ‘maong’ pants, net woven blouse, and
tight fitting jeans and wears brunette hair. He thinks school is a huge fashion
arena and that ‘beauty’ is synonymous to intellect.
3. The Business Tycoon
This type has commodities sold to
students. He comes to school not to do his duty but to make monkey business. He
gets angry when the merchandise doesn’t get sold and at times gives additional
grade to his “parukyano”. Students call him the “rolling store”. Another type
of business he does is dealing and befriending parents and later on borrowing money
from them. Worse, he also makes his students his milking cow by asking a penny
whenever he is in dire need. Oftentimes, he also requires projects that are not
related to his subject or asks presents like cake and other stuff when his
birthday comes. He uses his charm to deceive. He has motives to do so because
he wants to protect his “empire”.
4. The Drill Sergeant
This type does his job pretty well.
However, at times he feels downtrodden by complexities of the profession.
Nevertheless, he teaches beyond what is to be given to his clients. He taps and
maximizes students to their fullest potential. He always manifests the
authority in him to continue the spirit of keeping the flame burning. He is not
a coward because he speaks his mind. On the other hand, he happens to be the
most misunderstood molecule in the hive. He believes that discipline is the
core of learning. Being a nonconformist, he loves experimentation coupled with
in depth observation and evaluation that would carry him to a life long journey
to real learning. Peers and students either love him or hate him.
5. The Baloney Fly
This type is a symbolic message of temptation from the
path of righteousness. Extremely assuming, he believes that he is the caretaker
of the colony. Being a shenanigan, he has huge skeletons in his closet and
carries deadly viruses that could manipulate a few and later on inflict harm.
Having a multi personality and being a great story weaver, he creates his own
deceptive world where he can be his master and slave at the same time. Why
baloney? Because at times he can be a leech that sucks blood, a chameleon that
easily changes hues, and then goes back to being a fly again that lives mainly
on cow’s manure.
