Interviewer: 1.

Ano-ano ang mga suliranin na naranasan mo bilang isang homeschool teacher ngayong
pandemya? (What are the challenges you encountered as a homeschool teacher during pandemic?)

Interviewee: Isa akong nanay na mayroon akong tatlong anak tapos yung problema pa ay paghahati ng
oras doon sa pagtuturo sa mga anak ko na nag-aaral, yung pag-aasikaso sa kanila, maturuan sa mga
module nila. Minsan sabay-sabay tatawag sa akin tapos aasikasuhin ko yung isa, yung grade 1 ko. Maya-
maya tatawag naman yung isa dahil magpapaturo siya kaya medyo nakakapagod lalo minsan mayroong
ipinapagawa yung sa module, hindi ba? Mayroon minsang ipa-project o ipapa-assignment na kailangan
ako ng mga anak ko na katulong sa paggawa. Nahirapan din ako na magpabalik-balik sa school nila para
kumuha at magpasa ng mga modules

(I am a mother of three children and the problem is dividing the time between teaching my children who
are studying, taking care of them, teach them in their modules. Sometimes they will all call me at the
same time, then I will take care of my grade 1. Later on, the other one will also call because he's asking
for help in his lesson, so it's a bit tiring, especially sometimes they are asked to do something in the
module, right? There are times when my kids are asked to do a project or assignment wherein they need
my help in order for them to do it. I also found it difficult to go back and forth to their school to get and
pass their modules.)

Interviewer: 2. Paano mo nilalagpasan ang mga ganoong suliranin? (How do you overcome those
challenges?)

Interviewee: Eh yung mga ganoon eh kinakaya ko nalang. Wala naman kaming choice dahil gusto
naming na makapagtapos ng pag-aaral ang mga anak namin. Kahit pagod edi kakayanin namin.

(I’m trying to cope for those kinds of situations. We have no choice because we want our children to
finish school. That’s why even when we are tired, we’re still handling it.

Interviewer: > Kanino ka lumalapit kapag hindi mo alam ang lesson na inaaral ng iyong anak? (Who do
you go to when you don’t know the lesson your children are studying?)

Interviewee: Eh doon sa mga pinsan nila na nasa mataas na grade level, doon. Minsan nagtatanong ako
na kung ano ba yung ibang mga lesson o kung papano ba gawin ito o minsan nagpapatulong na rin ako
sa kanila sa pagtuturo sa mga anak ko kapag may mga gagawin ako, ganoon.

(I go to their cousins who are in a higher grade level. Sometimes, I ask them what are those lessons or
how to do it or sometimes I asked for their help in teaching my children when I have something to do,
that’s all.
Interviewer: 3. Kamusta na ang iyong buhay pagkatapos maranasan ang mga pagsubok na iyon? (How is
your life after you experiences those challenges?)

Interviewee: Sa totoo lang ay mahirap, tapos nakakastress, nakakapagod, pero nasasanay na din ako ng
mga ganoong set-up ng araw-araw kong ginagawa.

(Honestly, it’s hard, then stressful, exhausting, but I’m also getting used to such set-ups that I do every
day.)

Interviewer: > Paano mo maikukukumpara ang dati mong pamumuhay ngayong dumating itong
responsibilidad na gabayan ang iyong anak sa kanyang pag-aaral sa Modular Learning? (How do you
compare your life before and now that your responsibiltity has come to facilititate your children in
studying in Modular Learning?)

Interviewee: Dati mas ano, mas maalwan yung trabaho ko kasi may mga teacher na nagtuturo ng
lessons doon sa mga anak ko sa school nila, sila yung nagbibigay ng mga ano sa kanila, mga modules o
gawain. Ngayon, mas matrabaho talaga kasi halos lahat kami yung gumagawa ng ituturo namin sa mga
anak namin. Tapos ngayon minsan ay hindi ko na magawa yung mga gawain ko sa bahay. Madalas gabi
na ako naglalaba, wala na ring maayos na tulog minsa tapos maglilinis pa ng bahay. Maagang gigising
kasi maghahanda para sa araw at magluluto ng pagkain para sa mga anak ko. Ayun, sobrang
nakakapagod talaga.

(Before, my responsibilities are easier since they are teachers who teach my children their lessons in
school, they are the ones who give them their modules or tasks. Now, it’s more troublesome because
we are the one who actually teach our children everything. Then sometimes, I am not able to do
household chores. I usually wash our clothes in the evening, there are also times that I don’t have
enough sleep then I still need to clean our house. I need to wake up early to get ready for the day as well
as cook for my children. It is very tiring.
