FRANCES JEANNE L. SARMIENTO
There is a saying that I find highly unfair to us in the teaching profession: “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.” Countless teachers spend their working lives teaching so that we can learn to do what we are capable of doing. There are also teachers who, having acquired wisdom through experience, whether in the government or in the corporate sector, now share their wisdom with others. And there are also people who, while continuing to practice their chosen profession, serve as teachers and mentors to young people, their subordinates and peers.
