Foreword
A Tribute to Teachers
Everywhere
On the occasion of the 50th Foundation Anniversary of the Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP), which was founded by my husband Engr. Demetrio A. Quirino Jr. and me, I feel that the celebration for this momentous milestone should also be a celebration of the noble profession of teaching. Deming and I started out as classroom teachers for many years until Deming thought he could do more for the Filipino youth by founding a school. Rooney (in Sullivan, 1996) said: “Teachers who have plugged away at their jobs for twenty, thirty, and forty years are heroes. I suspect they know in their hearts they’ve done a good thing, too, and are more satisfied with themselves than most people are.
