ABSTRACT

This research study determines the hunchbacks and coping mechanisms of farm working pupils at one of the schools in the District of Calatrava-II academic year 2018-2019. A narrative inquiry type of qualitative research was utilized to describe the experiences of the farm working pupils. Six farm working pupils who were selected through purposive sampling were involved as participants in the study. The study was conducted through series of interviews. Three primary themes on hunchbacks of farm working pupils emerged in the findings: Financial Constraint of the Family, Overladen with Household Chores and Hazardous Way/Difficult Road Going to School. Themes that emerged in the findings on their coping mechanisms were Seeking Social Support for Financial Reasons, Radical Acceptance of the situation, Optimistic Attitude Matters and School as Haven from Stress. The opportunities derived from the hunchbacks encountered by the farm working pupils were Of Becoming Self-Reliant, Responsible and Prioritizing Family. Findings of this study will be valuable among parents for them to be fair in giving household task and to be aware of the burden they place on the shoulder of their children. The school and the local government should also plan out on what and how these children can be helped.
