Madame
X is a thought-provoking name-phrase that supports justice and obedience to
everyone. Whatever laws in the land or directives given by the higher officials
in the Department of Education to all concerned, this Madame X stands out and
speaks for everybody on behalf of the school administrators. This Madame X is
no other than Madame Eutiquia S. Alday. Do you know her? Let’s find out who she
is as the lead school principal.
Madame
Eutiquia S. Alday is one of the principals who never said ‘no when it comes to
challenges.’ In fact, she likes challenges. Being an administrator of a public
science high school, it is inevitable for her to experience the ups and downs
of life, but it is normal to have the dreary experiences as the school head.
“Dreary
experiences in the sense that an administrator encounters some teachers who are
so obstinate, and most of them have made decisions without the knowledge of the
principal. And most of them are contradicting to the principal’s ideas and they
don't conform to the notions or final decision-making by the concerned
principal just for the sake of everyone,” Madame Alday quipped.
She
said despite the opposing ideas from different savvy quarters, the school
administration is also a factor in discipline. It is not amiss to speak or
utter that sometimes the principal and teacher encounter disciplinary problems
because of unfortunate administrative policies, regulations or practices.
Laxity in enforcing school regulations can develop bad habits among teachers
and students. Teachers and students learn to be careless about observing
regulations, respect for authority, and assuming responsibility. Regulations
relative to tardiness, attendance, and interruptions of classwork, etc. should
be clearly stated and strictly followed.
As
the lead principal in all public secondary schools such as Tungkop NHS, Camp 7
NHS, Lipata NHS, Guindaruhan NHS, Tulay NHS, Tubod NHS, Tungkil NHS and
Minglanilla National Science High School, Madame Eutiquia S. Alday stressed and
shared insights into improving school discipline among the principals of said
public secondary schools.
She
emphasized that the school heads must maintain better discipline and composure
among the subordinates, even though some of them are very antagonistic,
and despite all odds or stumbling blocks that the principal has badly
encountered. It is suggested that the best approach should be positive rather
than negative. The best measures should be preventive rather than remedial.
There’s a saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This adage
is exactly what should guide the school administrator and what should strive to
eliminate them.
Madame
Eutiquia S. Alday who has been tagged as Madame X is the busiest principal in
Cebu South. Her function does not limit to the school alone, but also to all
the schools within the Municipality of Minglanilla. Here in this town, she has
implemented the imposed general rules and regulations for the forthcoming
school year as they are found or reflected in the school directives or
memorandums, both local and national, as approved by the schools division
superintendent in Cebu Province Division.
Effective
this school year, a school memorandum is hereby directed and enforced strictly
to all concerned, exclusively for the teaching and non-teaching personnel of
Minglanilla National Science High School, and other barangay high schools.
In
her research proposal which is intended for Minglanilla National Science High
School, in full support and special participation of Dr. Adolfo as the
main researcher of her study, thus exerting effort and time to research the
aforementioned textbooks' problems and computers, and how to resolve them for
the benefits of students.
In the remaining part
of this article, it said and it quoted categorically as saying that the
research proposal is intended only for the students, especially in the public
schools just to give emphasis to the importance of Quality
of Secondary School Science and Research in Education through Advanced
Textbooks and Technology.
