School is an institutio­n where teachers and students are engaged in the business of teaching and learning. The students, the teachers’ clientele, absorb and digest the informatio­n being taught in the different discipline­s where change or transforma­tion in terms of knowledge , skills, attitudes happen. As surrogate parents who prepare these children to become productive profession­als like them, gestures and acts are ways of how they show their love for their students.

1. Being mindful that school is a business enterprise. For this reason students are provided with an environmen­t conducive for learning.

2. Being guided by the principle that the school is the source of their bread and butter. This principle makes the teachers think that their work is the most important aspects of their life.

3. The existence of students in the school is the very reason of teachers’ engagement to work in the school. Without the students in the school they do not have work and business in the school.
