People often say, “The most successful individuals came from strict teachers.” At first, it sounds harsh. Parang nakakatakot pakinggan. But if we look deeper, it’s not really about fear, it’s about discipline, structure, and accountability.

Before, teachers were firm. They corrected you when you were wrong. They didn’t sugarcoat lessons. They pushed you to read, memorize, recite, and think. Hindi dahil galit sila, kundi dahil may pakialam sila. They wanted you prepared for real life, not just exams.

Ngayon, the system feels different.

Teachers are told to be “gentle,” “soft,” “always understanding.” Students can complain anytime. One wrong tone, one strict rule, viral agad. Instead of authority, teachers now walk on eggshells. Instead of discipline, puro sensitivity.

And sadly, we see the result.

Maraming bata hirap magbasa. Hirap sumunod. Konting pagsaway, “terror na agad.” Konting standards, “toxic na agad.”

But life outside school isn’t soft.

Workplaces demand deadlines. The world doesn’t adjust to your feelings. Hindi pwedeng laging excuse ang “nahihirapan ako.”

That’s why discipline still matters.

A strict teacher doesn’t mean abusive. It means consistent. Structured. Someone who says, “Kaya mo ‘to, gawin mo nang tama.” Someone who corrects you today so you won’t fail tomorrow.

Sa totoo lang, many of us succeeded not because teachers were kind all the time, but because they were tough when needed.

Maybe what students need today isn’t less discipline, but the right kind of discipline with compassion.

Because sometimes, the teacher you feared the most…

is the one who prepared you best for life.

Today is Tuesday of the 6th Week of Easter, the Memorial of Our Lady of Fatima.

“[The] Blessed Virgin Mary of Fatima in Lusitania [Portugal], the contemplation of whose most merciful motherhood in the order of grace, at the place Aljustrel, urgently solicitous about the adversities of men, stirs up the Christian faithful in crowds to prayer for sinners and to the inward conversion of hearts." - Roman Martyrology

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
