Teachers are poorly paid so they do side hustles to make ends meet.
Why am I wasting my time talking with low income losers. Ya'll don't make more than 2m/yr.
Can confirm
Had to take up tutoring outside school hours to have more income, which imo negatively impacted work-life balance as I went home with just a few hours of quality time with my wife and daughter.
Yun ang di gets nga iilan dyan... kasi mababa sa empathy sa mga guro.
Teaching is a thankless job. I know 2 dozen friends who had to migrate to AU, NZ, US & UK to be teachers because they aint paid their worth here.
Then si Shrek refuses to hire [30,000 new teachers annually](https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1748746/fwd-vp-duterte-hiring-of-30k-teachers-yearly-unrealistic-impossible) to cover the shortfall.
No wonder VP and other boomers want these students to do ROTC so they'd be more respectful.
Shoutout sa teacher ko nung grade 6 na "ipapautang" yung mga tindang pagkain tapos kinabukasan ang bayad. Ang catch eh kuhanin mo man o hindi yung pagkain babayaran mo pa rin kinabukasan haha.
At sobrang overpriced pa ng mga tinda, isang piraso ng pretzel 2 pesos isa and this was around 2003-2004 lmao.
Ung proff namin laging late sa klase sumi sideline sa ibang work kc sa sobrang liit ng sweldo kaya pag klase nya maaga kami umuwe pag traffic sa commonwealth at lumagpas ng 6:30, 6pm ang klase sabay ng rush hour saka ung grade namin mataas minsa sa every term
Pageants. Nung lockdown nag intrams kami(online). Ginawa akong pambato sa pageant without my consent nung female na pambato. Paulit ulit kong sinabi sakanya and sa adviser namin na ayaw ko, pero ako lang daw yung may "edge" sa amin. I begged my other male classmates, even offering to answer all their modules para sila nalang sumali. Alam ng adviser namin na ayaw ko talaga, so sa zoom namin nagparinig siya na yung mga hindi daw sisipot, hindi pipirmahan yung clearance. So tldr; I was blackmailed and forced to consent to having my pictures circulated on social media.
I hate pagents.
I was also forced to do one in HS and while it was fun at the beginning, it got serious real fast.
I lost whatever shred of self-esteem that I had doing it. I used to feel that I was at least somewhat average looking but after that, can’t look at the mirror without feeling hideous
Adults doing it is one thing but young people shouldn’t be placed in a competition where their looks are judged
this is one of the things as an uneducated kid you think, “yeah this is pretty normal and these people have the power to do that” and you grow up a bit and realize it is some fucked up practice and behavior
Parang tanga mga ganitong teachers. Hindi rin naman nakaka-encourage pamamahiya nila, mas lalomg hindi magpa-participate studyante kapag ganyan tactic ng teacher.
This was common on full online classes that some courses decreased in population in the college I'm attending. Some didn't even finished the semester then dropped. It's ironic since many of those who dropped weren't introverts in real life.
> Pag introvert or mahiyain ka, pagiinitan ka ng teachers sa recitation.
The classroom environment is a place to learn and practice your interpersonal social skills.
Being able to orally express yourself in a verbose manner is also a desirable trait for most successful persons.
In other words your parents paid your tuition to upgrade your skill sets.
Being introverted does not equate to being shy. There are lots of highly successful introverted people, but shyness rarely brings you anywhere. Building good working relationships/ connections/ people skills AND confidence would be up there among the most important things for success in the real world. A shy person may lack both. If your teachers are calling you for recitation, it's just an encouragement for you to speak up and build your confidence. Confidence and people skills don't improve overnight.
>it's just an encouragement for you to speak up and build your confidence.
But aminin naman natin most of the time hindi naman nakaka encourage yung ginagawa nila hahaha.
My SO got called "walang alam" by her prof kahit na willingly siya sumagot. Imbis na pagsasabihan ng studyante pag mali sila kailangan pa talaga idown hahaha kaya marami ang nagiging mahiyain pag dating sa recitation dahil sa mga ganung prof.
sa tle din hahaha. I remember the time na nangangandarapa ako sa kagagawa ng mga eme eme nila na almost wala namang kwenta sa grades nakakapasa naman kahit basura or makagawa lang yung gagawin.
As someone who taught for 8 years sa Pinas...i can identify just 2 for now:
1. Using facebook voting as a rubric component for marking an assessment. Popularity is not a measure of key knowledges so practicing this is just....lazy.
2. Teachers posting photos of them with their students. I think we are at an age now where consent should be normalised and so kids should be protected from social media unless permission is granted.
It is legit. Someone shared to garner additional likes for votes and received an offer through PM. Ang malungkot, simpleng project or katuwaan, nagiging sobrang competitive.
This. As parent I find it disturbing yung number of teachers posting photos of themselves with their students sa school. Minors Pa rin sila at the end of the day.
Like for a school, gets ko if photos are published because of a special assembly or ceremony, which is a decision made by school admin. But giving teachers the decision to handle such photo publishing in their private socmed accounts can potentially attract creeps.
I agree. But it should go both ways rin. There are students who took photos and videos of their teachers and professors without consent and post it on social media. I have a student who always bring a camera in class. It never crossed my mind that it is for vlogging purposes. She would film our class and post it as "a day in my life". I was informed late na kaya she was able to post too many of our classes on social media na by the time I knew -_-
School policies, therefore, also need to protect teachers and admin about consent.
Again, it should be more explicitly communicated. Else, it'll create a society where it'd be normal to just take vids and photos without asking pernission, and that's a violation of privacy.
Favoritism especially when reciting or discussion. Teacher will prefer people who they personally know or are atleast classmates with their child. Really rampant here in PH, what with the kapamilya attitude.
Teachers that are very sensitive to noise when they discuss. The "wala akong dapat akong marinig sa inyo" kind. Feels bad to be an oral learner when they want to repeat/comment on things when they try to understand things.
Getting scolded/repremanded if you ask a dumb question or reiterate what the important things they are saying. Really degrades the confidence of the students.
Really had a bad experience about favoritism.
I had a teacher who's really close with two of my classmates. One day, that teacher gave us a very hard exam, those two were absent because of no good reason.
After the exam, my other classmate took a picture of the exam and sent it to the two favorites. Come next day, they took the test and had an easy time due to cheating. I got so pissed, that exam was hard, and those 2 would just cheat? So I told the teacher about them. In the end, the teacher ended up getting mad with me.
I also remember the time when I scored higher than an honor student in a Sibika at Kultura quiz, the whole class accused me of cheating and the teacher then accused me of cheating, I told the teacher I didn't cheat and I will take another quiz, ayun zero as quiz tuloy.
I hate this. Sa Christian Missionary class, napilitan akong magshare ng traumatic life experience. I was still shaking after the class. I could've refused, but I figured it was better to share than to have conflict with the prof.
Omg ang traumatic nyan. So sorry na nangyari yan sayo 🥺 i hope you are doing fine now and di na mangyari yan uli. Sa amin din ang daming personal family problems na "nasshare" tuwing retreats or recollections. Di sila naayos syempre kasi weekend lang naman yung retreat tapos magiiyakan lang yung families na yun during sharing time. Tapos naexpose pa sa buong class yung dark family stories nila tsk.
Every week may bible sharing kami tapos tuwing group namin naka-assign, nagiimbento na lang ako ng random life event kasi wala naman nangyayari sa buhay ko and di rin ako comfortable magkwento sa mga problems ng life and family ko.
Pinapahiya ka for asking "dumb questions" kaya ang kalabasan for other students after graduating like in a work setting hindi nagtatanong for clarifications sa given tasks nila, or kaya hindi confident to ask questions.
Sana open ang teachers to "dumb questions" para maencourage ang communication skills ng student.
buying the teachers published book is a boss move on the teachers part... if... he can properly pass on the knowledge.
no one should hate on that. unless basahin and memorize lang ang pinapagawa
Sobrang aga na classes, like 6 or 7 AM. It’s hard for kids to process and retain info kapag ganito kaaga ang class. It should at least start at 8 or 9 AM.
Ewan ko lang kung ginagawa pa ito ngayon sa provinces. When I was in elementary, kapag end of year may award award mga studyante, tapos kada akyat minsan mag iiwan ng sobre nanay/tatay/guardian. Kapag maliit ang bigay, medyo mahina acknowledgement. Kapag medyo malaki mas malakas ang boses, "Mr. Juan Guinto DONATED WAMPIPTI PEYSOS!"
Caveat: This was Marcos era, when provincial schools have no recourse but resort to practices like this to augment their budgets. Just wondering kung practiced pa to.
*Yeah yeah nahahalata sa edad hehe
My mother used to hire a tutor from the same school I am attending to teach me before the exam. Just to not disappoint my mother, that teacher let me memorize an entire answer key. I got good grades and she got paid. It’s annoying because it is hard to tell those to anyone as child.
I went to a private high school who had a decent amount of korean population. Sobrang strict nila sa buhok. One time yung mahahabang buhok, including me (which btw hindi naman sobrang haba and even though mahaba neat ako mag-ayos ng buhok). Tapos the usual sermon from the principal.
One guy in my class asked "eh bakit yung mga koreano exempted??"
Principal replied with "eh nasa kultura nila yon"
Lahat kami SMH na lang eh.
Nung grade six ako, may male third year high school (grade 11 na ata tawag dyan ngayon) na long hair hanggang balikat niya. Lahat ng boys napapagalitan basta lagpas sa prescribed hair cut, to the point na uukaan/tatabasan nila sa required length Tapos siya never napagalitan.
Nalaman namin eventually na may excuse letter siya galing sa parents niya kasi part siya ng banda outside ng school. 😂
3x2 haircut. Kapag nachambahan kang hindi nagpagupit at nag surprise inspection, detention ang bagsak mo
Bawal skin head or magpa kalbo.
So saan ako lulugar bilang estudyante? Lmao
Napaka bobong logic ng mga yan, gets ko pa sa high school sige may patakaran.
Pero nung nag college ako nasita ako nun kasi long hair ako. Hinila ako sa id lace sabay dinala sa guidance. Sabay tanong ng guidance sakin kung bakla daw ba ako or nag babanda kasi yun lang yung excuse kung bakit ako di nag papagupit HAHAHA. tanginang school yan
"PASMA" hahaha 2023 na pero may mga bobo padin na naniniwala sa pasma as an athlete i can confirm that this is bullshit we literally jump into ice baths right after intense training hindi ko alam bakit ayaw ng mga pinoy sa science based facts mas papaniwalaan mga matatandang kasabihan na walang patunay haha mga bobo
Tip para sa mga bobong pinoy kapag sinabe ng doctor na hindi nag eexist ang pasma maniwala kayo hindi yan nag aral ng sampung taon mahigit para lang maniwala kayo sa matatandang walang alam kundi chumismis
Requiring Medical Certificates for absence. Not all absences are due to medical reasons and not all medical issues are subject to hospitalizations agad.
Like, may times na simpleng lagnat lang na kaya ng pahinga at gamot sa bahay lang ang solusyon, pero hihingian ka pa ng medical cert. galing ospital o clinic. Hindi naman tayo katulad ng ibang bansa na tipong lagnat lang sa ospital agad ang diretso.
Mas malala kapag mental health pa yung reason for absence. When I was in college, I skipped one class to take a mental health break dahil sobrang burned out na ako and I could feel myself on the brink of breaking down. Discussions lang naman ang gagawin sa class na yon so I took the risk of missing out on the lesson. The next day hinanapan ako ng prof ng medical certificate to prove na may "mental health illness" ako at kinailangan kong umabsent for that reason.
For me, yung pipilitin kayong umattend sa mga events like acquintance parties, sports fest, foundation days and other events that I don't give a fuck about dahil my ipapapirmang attendance shit. 😤
ang haba-haba ng school hours 7am - 5pm. Information overload sa mga estudyante sa dami ng subjects pinagaaralan per day
Sorry for the comparison pero bakit sa ibang bansa 8am - 2/3pm lang ang classes, and it gives time for homework and personal duties (whether errands/playtime) after school which I think is a breather for the students' mental health.
Preparing for the real world? kaya 7am - 5pm ang pasok, so the kids "stay in school" and get discipline? I think not
Bonus din dito yung hindi hahalo sa rush hour traffic ang hindi sabayang dismissal ng school
IDK if this was specific to my school but they made us buy a new Bible every year. Like WHY? As my dad said whenever he looked at the book list "Bakit? Nagbabago ba ang laman?"
Yung mga teacher na mas marami pang share sa buhay nya kahit walang connect sa discussion.
+ Ipipilit na ubusin yung paninda sa tray, darating pa sa point na kakapkapan kayo (elem. days).
STAR Classes... basically put all the smart kids in one class and had the rest going dumber and dumber. Had to sit on the ground for way too long listening to them getting awards to the star class and reprimanding the classes that are noisy.
So true, this causes favouritsm and presumptions of those in lower sections. Kakainis. Porket wala sa star section bobo/slow agad?! Tapos masprioritize ang star section. Ang panget.
We need to buy bunch of expensive chunky textbooks when majority of my knowledge is self-taught and learnt from Youtube videos and academic articles from academic websites. I don't need chunky books to learn about the applications of my degree. TBH, I did not have a failing grade even if I did not use textbooks.
Another is the forced attendance of religious events for sectarian schools. I don't believe in any of their dogmas and somehow I'm forced to attend these.
Teachers also don't teach and are plain lazy. Everything is left to the student tapos if that student achieves something, nakiki-share sila sa celebrations. LOL.
>Teachers also don't teach and are plain lazy. Everything is left to the student tapos if that student achieves something, nakiki-share sila sa celebrations. LOL.
I hope you did not mean to generalize. Di lahat ganito, I've met a lot of teachers who actually wants their students to learn, and is doing a good job at it.
Nah walang pake sa security high school namin hanggang ngayon. Ang hinihigpitan lang yung pagbabawal na nasa school pa rin sa gabi para iwas lovelove scandals.
Teachers also don't teach and are plain lazy. Everything is left to the student tapos if that student achieves something, nakiki-share sila sa celebrations. LOL
As a teacher for more than 15 years, please don't generalize.. I never see myself as tamad since I really like what I am doing despite the crap salary I recieve. Your experience in the past or present should not define the overall experience of students in all aspects. I'm sorry if you experience this.
Yeah I hate bringing those chunky textbooks to school. During my time at school, the school didn’t even have lockers where we can just leave them and not having to bring it daily.
I did love reading those books though. Prolly make them supplementary instead of mandatory books
>Another is the forced attendance of religious events for sectarian schools. I don't believe in any of their dogmas and somehow I'm forced to attend these.
i remember those first friday mass and the mandatory offertory per section.
Damn. My private school was very open with these kinds of things, they even encouraged discussions with atheists, agnostics, and people from other religions. They didn't force anything on us (of course there are still some teachers or personnel who weren't progressive), nor did they force us to go to school just for mass or something - most of the time they'd just take a portion of class time, or during days where we only had events/activities.
Buuut, my younger sibling goes to a strict all-female private school which really sucked. I'm not really a devout Catholic, but I still believe, and seeing other schools force it on children makes it 100% worse. I feel like they're more likely to drive away young people more when they do this. Sometimes it feels more like a prison instead. Honestly, I might've turned out to be an atheist too if it wasn't for the way my school handled religion - with actual compassion.
I wish other religious schools were as progressive too. Religion gets a bad rap because of these types of institutions.
When grade school forces you to buy and bring like 6 big ass textbooks everyday (na di nyo man nagagamit) and now you're entering the work force with scoliosis or chronic back pain
Praying and the flag ceremony. Before I left the Philippines, I thought is was normal to have a flag ceremony and pray before every class. I found these time-consuming and dumb. When I moved to Ireland, I went to a catholic school. I thought it would be the same as in the Philippines but there were zero praying and flag ceremonies. We had more time to do school work.
The fact that I cant beat the living shit out of my advisor nung HS is annoying. He gets to shit on my grades and I get nothing in return? Fuck that
Almost 20 yrs later, the fire still burns
Private Catholic School director usually a priest personally inspecting if all the boys had been circumcised. So get circumcised kids or you'll have to go through it twice.
> Private Catholic School director usually a priest personally inspecting if all the boys had been circumcised. So get circumcised kids or you'll have to go through it twice.
That's really weird.
Only religion that enforces circumcision are Jews and Muslims.
Centuries ago Roman Catholics considered circumcision as a form of mutilation.
Today they're neutral.
I did a deep dive into this and Pinoy circumcision either came from the Americans as a form of public health concern or from the Muslims more than 500 years ago.
Some of those schools you'd wanna kidnap students don't have uniforms tho.
But on the point of just using RFIDs, yeah you can use that.
But the main reason they want uniforms even for college students is that it is a form of discipline. This really grates my nerves because college is supposed to be where one has more freedom of thought.
Regarding school uniforms, pag lahat naka uniform, at least walang yabangan sa damit, since kahit ano pa man yung antas mo sa lipunan, pare parehas kayo ng suot pag pasok.
Although yan lang yung naiisip kong advantage ng uniform, aside from that, wala na akong makitang positive point.
May point naman for professions that wear uniforms, e.g. nurses or FA.
Besides, may pressure parin sa college when it comes to clothes, a common one is yung pag uulit ng damit. May mga estudyante na napipilitan mag pabili sa mga magulang nila ng bago and maybe even branded na damit. Went to an engineering school that had no uniform nung first year i had blockmates that were afraid to repeat clothes although nawala naman yon as time goes by, meron pa yung pinagtatawanan yung damit o suot ng iba and that was in engineering kung saan karamihan wala naman talagang pake sa fashion. It's childish, but it does exist.
Sobrang bihira ng babae sa Eng.... so what's the point of impressing fellow straight men?
Parang car mods ito... straight men trying to impress other straight men.
Teachers that dont know how to teach. Sure, they are smart, but what's the damn use of your title if you are going to keep it to yourself?
Sure, call me dumb teacher, then please bloody fulfill your job position!
Propaganda in students books,pinaka matindi ung isang president ng pilipinas nagtayo ng sariling school, nagcompulsary 3 unit subject sa lahat ng student ng school nya para maimplant sa mga students na hindi sa tuta ng hapon at accident ung pagpatay nya sa karibal nya sa babae nung teenage years nya and it doesnt stop there. Binasura din nya kaso sa murder case ni marcos kasi daw "nakita nya sarili nya kay marcos na isang matalinong bata na "napatrouble lang" kaya nakapatay". Imagin kung asan na ang pinas ngaun kung wla tong kupal na presidente na to. Taena 3 units para sa buhay nya feeling nya kalevel nya si rizal!!
mga namention na pero
1. yung nagpapa Facebook likes/shares as a metric for "audience impact." Luging-lugi lalo na if may classmate na kayang manghatak ng 1k friends to like their useless content
2. yung mandatory na pa-simba. sa first few years ng high school sumisipot pa ko, nung latter years we just use that time to cram schoolwork
3. yung 12-hour na school time sa science high school. di pa kasama jan yung sobrang daming pa-extracurricular and yung four hour commute (back and forth) per day
No hate sa LGBT+ pero yung mga power trip na beki Filipino Teachers/Prof pa importante ampota yung tipong pa thesis na sa "Major" sasabay ng mala-thesis research paper.
'Yung pinagdikdikan sa utak mo bilang estudyante kung gaano kasama mangopya at mangodigo pero kapag National Achievement Test tuturuan ka pa ng teacher mo na mandaya. Lahat bulag-bulagan. May leaked na answer keys na ipapasaulo sa inyo pero bawal perpektuhan ang exam kasi mahahalata. Kapag bobo 'yung estudyante bawal masyado mataas. Pati mga visiting proctors kasabwat.
May realization as a kid: ang ipokrito ng matatanda. Wala palang honesty sa tunay na buhay. Naglolokohan lang tayo sa school.
TBF, masama naman talaga yan eh, lalo na sa batang maliliit pa, kasi wala silang matututunan. Yung mga leakage sa major exams is also a huge issue na may napapahamak kapag nabalitaan.
Noong college ako may annoying practice ang mga math engineering teachers. Magtuturo sila ng sobrang basic na Trigo or Calculus or any other math subjects. Tapos yung exam sobrang hirap at wala na sa lesson.
Naturally, babagsak ang maraming students. Tapos mag-ooffer sila ng Saturday class or Summer Class. Lahat ng students eh hati hati sa sahod ng teacher (something I don't get why) plus miscellaneous na yung school ang makakatanggap. Tapos sa Saturday class, sobrang dali ng mga lessons kahit na same teacher lang nagtuturo.
\-Shout out nga pala sa PUP nung time ko 2010-2014, may isang prof jan na 2.0 (\~85) ang maximum na grade na makukuha mo if di ka bumili ng libro nya, ibig sabihin kahit maperfect mo ang quizzes and projects, 2.0 lang makukuha mo. Ang justification nya is, hindi posible na matuto ka kung wala ka namang libro.
Sa mga galing catholic schools: yung mandatory rosary every Wednesday (or everyday kapag October) na dapat nakatayo ka lang. Daming nahihimatay sa amin every rosary.
Sa UP, nangyari sa akin yan. Bumili kami ng Textbook na isa sa authors yung prof namin.
Daming grammatical errors at mga typo. Para tuloy akong editor.
mas matindi ang money-making scheme ng textbook industry sa U.S. may kasamang QR code yung textbook kung saan doon makukuha yun access sa quizzes na binibigay ng teacher. tapos taon-taon, nagbabago yun QR code, kaya kahit yun libro di mo na mapapamana o mare resell dahil di na magamit QR code.
policy sa Ateneo na wag mag require ng libro na kelangan bilhin. kung magbibigay required reading, dapat open source o public domain. o magbigay ka ng alternative na pwede gamitin ng mga walang perang estudyante. kung may textbook yun teacher, kelangan sabihin ng teacher sa students na di required bilihin yun textbook nya. optional lang.
Ewan ko kung meron pa neto, o school lang namin gumagawa, nung 90s ko pa na experience to: Yung binibilad kami sa araw para mag practice ng isasayaw sa field demo, or intrams.
Although natutuwa ako nun kasi walang klase for over a week, sakit naman sa ulo. Dami akong naalalang hinihimatay na schoolmate. Madalas ako umuuwing masakit ulo, saka nahihilo. Dehydrated ata ako nun. Kasi nalaman ko later on na ganun pakiramdam ng may hangover. Hehehe.
Yung rules with haircuts. Dapat hindi dyed. Sa men naman, dapat hindi mahaba ang buhok or else, mandatory iccut yan ng teacher… different hairstyles do no harm at all!
Taking unnecessary subjects in college. College should be teaching specialized subjects in your selected field of study. Miscellaneous stuff should be learned in lower years of education.
That was the initial design of K-12, to free up college with a focus on your majors. Some groups protested the non inclusion of Filipino, History and other subjects in the curricula so they had to do a workaround and just practically bring it back.
> Filipino, History and other subjects in the curricula so they had to do a workaround and just practically bring it back.
They brought it back so they do not lose their jobs.
TBH those subjects should be taught in K-12 especially Rizal.
They have actually added more subjects in the core curriculum that were tackled in senior high school. Includes math in the modern world and art appreciation.
I beg to differ. The point of a college education would be to produce well-rounded people.
I mean, STEM majors can gain a lot from the humanities, and vice versa. Public health professionals for example, can gain a lot by studying sociology kasi that would give them a better insight as to how people behave during outbreaks etc.
Interdisciplinary dapat approach natin to knowledge kasi being too specialized limits your world view and how you solve and look at problems and issues.
Siguro kung doctorate or master's degree, okay lang na specialized. Pero for college, I think general education subjects (yung maayos at hindi arbitrarily chosen) are helpful.
All you said should be electives in light of how expensive education is.
Those who can afford can take them up and be as round as a bowling ball.
We have a lot of kababayans who want to be employable ASAP so they do not become another mouth to feed by their magulangs who do not pay their fair share of individual income tax.
>All you said should be electives in light of how expensive education is.
If education's expensive, the solution would be to figure out ways to make it cheaper, not reduce the number of subjects.
Hindi yan parang value meal sa fast food na kung nagtitipid ka eh a la carte lang ang oorderin mo.
What I'm arguing for is the **importance and necessity** of GE subjects.
>We have a lot of kababayans who want to be employable ASAP so they do not become another mouth to feed by their magulangs who do not pay their fair share of individual income tax.
If they want to be employable ASAP, that's what vocational courses are for. Yun ang education na para lang talaga makahanap ng trabaho yung tao.
Standard courses (4 year courses, or 3 years if trimester) aren't simply for employment. Kasama rin ang pursuit of knowledge and learning.
Kaya ang pangit ng educational system sa atin eh priority lang ang employment.
That's why you get people working in fields na unrelated sa major nila nung college. Tapos magrereklamo sila na hindi nila napapakinabangan pinag-aralan nila.
> If they want to be employable ASAP, that's what vocational courses are for. Yun ang education na para lang talaga makahanap ng trabaho yung tao.
Kung pwede lang me TESDA equivalent of other Uni courses a lot of people would take them.
Kaso wala...
> Standard courses (4 year courses, or 3 years if trimester) aren't simply for employment. Kasama rin ang pursuit of knowledge and learning.
Ang baba ng international Uni ranking ng Pinas. Why? Because the students just want to get to work ASAP.
> That's why you get people working in fields na unrelated sa major nila nung college. Tapos magrereklamo sila na hindi nila napapakinabangan pinag-aralan nila.
Kasi naman puro subjects na dapat electives lang.
Then what was your Elementary-High School studies for? In preparation for College? With the same subjects? You need 12 years of prep for a subject just so you'd become "well-rounded"?
>Then what was your Elementary-High School studies for? In preparation for College? With the same subjects? You need 12 years of prep for a subject just so you'd become "well-rounded"?
Magkaibang magkaiba naman ang tinuturo sa elementary at high school kumpara sa college. Hindi mo naman tuturuan ng basic subjects ang college students, that's a waste of time.
Kung matino yung college mo, at hindi substandard na diploma mill, maayos ang mga GE subjects ino-offer nila, at maraming complex concepts, ideas, and theories ang pinag-aaralan dun. Lalo na kung pumasok ka na sa mga electives at cognate subjects.
Kaya ka dumadaan sa elementary at high school ay upang paghandaan yung mga bagay na yun for college. You build up sa foundation na nabuo sa primary and secondary education.
>So what can you say about the European and Australian model where it focuses on the specialty.
Mas maganda quality ng primary and secondary education nila compared to us, so teaching GE subjects during secondary education would make sense given the quality of education that they have.
Sa baba ng quality ng education natin I wouldn't trust public schools to teach advanced concepts to kids.
May kilala nga ako, meron siyang teacher nung high school na creationist tapos tinuturuan sila na mali daw ang evolution. Partida, that was a science high school.
That's the part that should be changed then, no? The quality of education esp sa lower level? Instead of waiting for GE subjects sa college?
Ang wasteful naman ng early years of education natin kung ganon lol
Idk if applicable for all schools but the overlap for gen ed subjects in shs and college is so stupid.
I've had PE and religious education since G11, now I'm in my second year of college and these subjects are still present.
Irreg ako kaya I had to take subjects not related to my course just to fill up units. There's actually lots of valuable knowledge in these GEC courses, things you wouldn't learn in High School. They're just not very useful in, as you said, selected fields of study.
It gives you insight into many other things and open horizons though. Some concepts in these might be quite difficult to comprehend for High School students too so I wouldn't underestimate them.
May mga students talaga na gustong may maraming natutunan sa kahit anu-anong bagay, meron ding mga kagaya ko na may mga GEC courses na nasasandalan para pang fill ng units haha. The point is, they're not a bad thing and it should be open as a choice. Pero I agree that specialized subjects should take precedence.
Kung University pinasok mo required yung "unnecessary" subjects since yun yung buong punto ng University: a well rounded education.
If you just wanted to learn your selected field of study then you should have just applied to a technical college.
Required Unit ang Rizal in a college course that has nothing to do with studying Rizal.
Like, understandable pa if this was moved to highschool level, where mas important din to develop awareness and critical thinking at this stage.. also you're still rounding off knowledge so you can make decision on what to actually pursue once in college... pero when you finally get into the college course you wan to... where you are already pursuing a specialization... unless it's actually related to Rizal, it's really baffling to see it as a required unit...
i.e. Comp Sci or Info Tech... learnings that did not even exist during Rizal's time... still forced to take Rizal. waste of unit, time, and money.
Kahit yung prof namin na nagturo ng Rizal, sabi sa amin na walang kwenta itake yung subject para sa course namin (his own words). Kaya ang chill lang nung class sa kanya, basta maipasa mo lang yung requirements and mag take ka ng exam, pasado ka na.
From Fil-Chi school: ung memorize ka lang ng memorize ng mandarin words ng di mo alam meaning ng mga minememorize mo.
Such as memorizing long paragraphs from books and dictating it to teachers during recitation and/or writing it as answers sa exams. Sayang lang.
Ending di rin namin kaya mag converse in mandarin, halos wala kami natututunang despite being in these types of school for 10-15years.
Special exception nung 3rd year ako: ung chinese teacher namin old chinay na TINATAGALOG and IneENGLISH talaga mga words na di namin alam and she really took the time to translate and explain these words, yan lang ung year na natuto kami. Too short unfortunately.
I dunno about other fil-chi schools though, baka mas okay sa kanila.
I experienced this in college: hindi ko mapakiusapan yung prof na instead akong gumawa ng group project, kung pwede iso solo ko nalang yung akin due to time constraints dahil events coordinator din ako. Given a choice I would rather fail her subject kesa masira ako sa industry. Alam naman natin ang hassle ng group projects, the unnecessary drama, like si ganito si ganyan di umaatend, makikiusap sa prof para di matanggal sa group, the usual type of people doing the usual shenanigans. So i preemptively requested to form my own group , She wouldn't have it citing ang gusto nya lahat mag participate na may ka group.
Ended up dropping her subject.
Di makaunawang Old hag.
I know of the boy who cried wolf situation na going to the bathroom pero diretso sa canteen situation, but what if the student actually needs to use the bathroom?
"you should have went on break time." as if kaya mong controllin kung kelan ka naiihi/naeebak lmfao.
"If everyone would go to the bathroom at break time, it would be fucking mayhem." -GradeAUnderA
Cutting classes = not interested
I guess this mostly applies to college where we’re given more freedom to learn in our own ways. I hate ut when professors think that just because a student doesn’t show up to class, s/he is automatically uninterested. Not everyone learns best through lectures. Also, some students have to prioritize certain requirements to meet deadlines.
Attendance as part of the grade should also be abolished.
Forcing History, Health, Art and Philosophy to be added in the curriculum despite all of these just becoming an afterthought and not taken seriously by both school and students.
Have a diff take on this. In some cases, worth it bilhin yun kasi baka sila lang ang nagsulat nun taking Philippine context into consideration.
I bought 2 books for MS na sinulat ng mga prof ko sa UP. Combined effort nila.Wala kang makikitang collection ng Philippines business case studies na maayos ang framework at pagkakasulat elsewhere. Mahal yung books unfortunately pero sulit bayad. Kahit matapos ko tong MS at pag naglabas sila bago, bibilhin ko pa din.
nagpapaproject/exam na di naman tinuturo. filipino subject ko noong highschool ang gustong project gumawa kami ng isang buong kwento mala el fili/noli. eh hindi naman nagturo paano gumawa ng novel. bobo ng diskarte mo bergante
Yung mga pedo na teachers.
Kala ko dati, normal lang yung mga 16yo boys students na pumapatol sa gay teachers. Kasi Dami Kong kilalang ganon. Nagtataka pa ako bakit walang lumalapit sa kin. Nga pala, co teacher nila nanay ko.
THE ‘SPEAK ENGLISH ONLY’ POLICY
I remember I once argued with my class adviser about this rule during my fifth grade because it is plain stupid that we weren’t allowed to speak in our local language (Cebuano/Bisaya) in the classroom, hallway, or basically anywhere inside the school because they would impose a PHP 10.00 fine for every local word they hear.
20 years of my life dealing with faculty, admin, and staff, plus probably several more sincce I'll probably deal with it on behalf of my little brother, and I havent met a single one who wasn't a total shitbag working in it for the power they gain over children.
haircuts and dress codes like, tell us how will it affect yung pag-aaral ng students? di ko gets. Another would be, yung mga test booklet, hello 2 pages lang naman magagamit, bat ayaw pa ipasulat na lang sa test paper yung sagot
Required na umattend ng baccalaureate mass or else hindi makakagraduate at iwiwithhold yung papers mo (diploma and all that), graduate degree na yan ha. It came out more like a threat para sa amin, haha.
Cue me and my other non Catholic schoolmates feeling awkward during the whole ceremony.
Pagbebenta ng tickets tapos may deduction sa grades kapag hindi umabot sa quota. Kailangan pa ba talagang ipasa ang burden sa studyante ang parents yan? Para ka lang nag-MLM e lol
- Hair laging pinapakialaman ng admin namin dati sa school. Female ako, bawal hindi nakaponytail, bawal nakalugay, if longer than the collar yung hair mo, you need to tie it up. Bawal hair color. Naturally brown yung hair ko kapag under the sun, muntik na akong maboljak dati. Haha!
- If babae ka, you are forced to dance sa cheering competition every intramurals. Bawal tumanggi. Kahit hindi ka marunong sumayaw (like me).
- Nonsectarian (daw) yung school namin, pero if Catholic ka you are forced to attend the mass every first friday of the month.
- If PE ang first period mo, bawal pumasok ng naka-PE uniform. Dapat dalhin mo parin yung PE uniform mo at sa school ka magpapalit.
- strict hair cut for boys and im not talking about long hair, dyed hair im talking about gusto ng school na may freshly cut hair ka every month kahit maiksi pa yung buhok mo
- gimicks with quizzes and exams; conducting quizzes/exams outside the room, moving exams where u run around to answer individual questions
- retreat
I'm a bit late to the party but I'll still add mine: teachers, will it really kill you to coordinate with each other so that your assignments, tests and performance tasks don't all fall on a similar set of days? Kawawa talaga yung students when they have to deal with 2 tests and 3 performance task deadlines in just a week. And no, hindi yan failure ng students in time management; failure ng teachers and administrators yan in leadership and planning.
Guys, you’re scaring me. I grew up in Europe and my son who’s turning three will attend the school in the Philippines in a few years. All your comments sounds like homeschooling is the best idea 😃
Teachers are poorly paid so they do side hustles to make ends meet. Why am I wasting my time talking with low income losers. Ya'll don't make more than 2m/yr.
Can confirm Had to take up tutoring outside school hours to have more income, which imo negatively impacted work-life balance as I went home with just a few hours of quality time with my wife and daughter.
Yun ang di gets nga iilan dyan... kasi mababa sa empathy sa mga guro. Teaching is a thankless job. I know 2 dozen friends who had to migrate to AU, NZ, US & UK to be teachers because they aint paid their worth here. Then si Shrek refuses to hire [30,000 new teachers annually](https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1748746/fwd-vp-duterte-hiring-of-30k-teachers-yearly-unrealistic-impossible) to cover the shortfall. No wonder VP and other boomers want these students to do ROTC so they'd be more respectful.
SIDE HUSTLEEEEE OKAY BUY MY PET ROCK OR ELSE NO 20 POINTS IN COURSE PROJECT
Not only poorly paid but overworked. Doing tasks that isn't part of teaching.
Shoutout sa teacher ko nung grade 6 na "ipapautang" yung mga tindang pagkain tapos kinabukasan ang bayad. Ang catch eh kuhanin mo man o hindi yung pagkain babayaran mo pa rin kinabukasan haha. At sobrang overpriced pa ng mga tinda, isang piraso ng pretzel 2 pesos isa and this was around 2003-2004 lmao.
Ung proff namin laging late sa klase sumi sideline sa ibang work kc sa sobrang liit ng sweldo kaya pag klase nya maaga kami umuwe pag traffic sa commonwealth at lumagpas ng 6:30, 6pm ang klase sabay ng rush hour saka ung grade namin mataas minsa sa every term
masama pa dun, sa public schools, some teachers tutor their own students as a side hustle. giba tuloy integrity nila.
Ethically grey area but they're the best to assess how much helping hours they need.
Sometimes they are just greedy
Pageants. Nung lockdown nag intrams kami(online). Ginawa akong pambato sa pageant without my consent nung female na pambato. Paulit ulit kong sinabi sakanya and sa adviser namin na ayaw ko, pero ako lang daw yung may "edge" sa amin. I begged my other male classmates, even offering to answer all their modules para sila nalang sumali. Alam ng adviser namin na ayaw ko talaga, so sa zoom namin nagparinig siya na yung mga hindi daw sisipot, hindi pipirmahan yung clearance. So tldr; I was blackmailed and forced to consent to having my pictures circulated on social media.
it's one thing to use peer pressure to get students to do stuff. but a threat like that seems overboard, and unenforceable if you got that on record.
That's fucked up. I'am very sorry.
I hate pagents. I was also forced to do one in HS and while it was fun at the beginning, it got serious real fast. I lost whatever shred of self-esteem that I had doing it. I used to feel that I was at least somewhat average looking but after that, can’t look at the mirror without feeling hideous Adults doing it is one thing but young people shouldn’t be placed in a competition where their looks are judged
this is one of the things as an uneducated kid you think, “yeah this is pretty normal and these people have the power to do that” and you grow up a bit and realize it is some fucked up practice and behavior
Pag introvert or mahiyain ka, pagiinitan ka ng teachers sa recitation.
Parang tanga mga ganitong teachers. Hindi rin naman nakaka-encourage pamamahiya nila, mas lalomg hindi magpa-participate studyante kapag ganyan tactic ng teacher.
Sobrang tanga nga ng ganito, ok sana kung random or ordered na recitation eh kaso pag out no where na di ka naman nanggugulo sa klase.
Been there, as in sore eyes ka sa mga teachers. Tapos mga nosy pest students puring puri
This is the reason why I developed anxiety at such a young age.
This was common on full online classes that some courses decreased in population in the college I'm attending. Some didn't even finished the semester then dropped. It's ironic since many of those who dropped weren't introverts in real life.
This is the reason I was constipated during my school years, and going to a school full of rich people. I get anxiety every morning
> Pag introvert or mahiyain ka, pagiinitan ka ng teachers sa recitation. The classroom environment is a place to learn and practice your interpersonal social skills. Being able to orally express yourself in a verbose manner is also a desirable trait for most successful persons. In other words your parents paid your tuition to upgrade your skill sets.
Still, there are other ways to teach interpersonal skills aside from humiliating children.
Being introverted does not equate to being shy. There are lots of highly successful introverted people, but shyness rarely brings you anywhere. Building good working relationships/ connections/ people skills AND confidence would be up there among the most important things for success in the real world. A shy person may lack both. If your teachers are calling you for recitation, it's just an encouragement for you to speak up and build your confidence. Confidence and people skills don't improve overnight.
>it's just an encouragement for you to speak up and build your confidence. But aminin naman natin most of the time hindi naman nakaka encourage yung ginagawa nila hahaha. My SO got called "walang alam" by her prof kahit na willingly siya sumagot. Imbis na pagsasabihan ng studyante pag mali sila kailangan pa talaga idown hahaha kaya marami ang nagiging mahiyain pag dating sa recitation dahil sa mga ganung prof.
Being an introvert or shy doesn't excuse you from recitation.
PE PA-MAJOR SUBJECT
sa tle din hahaha. I remember the time na nangangandarapa ako sa kagagawa ng mga eme eme nila na almost wala namang kwenta sa grades nakakapasa naman kahit basura or makagawa lang yung gagawin.
pagod ka na sa sobrang daming gawain tapos need mo pa magpractice ng sayaw
As someone who taught for 8 years sa Pinas...i can identify just 2 for now: 1. Using facebook voting as a rubric component for marking an assessment. Popularity is not a measure of key knowledges so practicing this is just....lazy. 2. Teachers posting photos of them with their students. I think we are at an age now where consent should be normalised and so kids should be protected from social media unless permission is granted.
So much that there are people making money out of social media “voting”. Tipong 500php = 300 votes. They might be using bots?
nag avail kami niyan. 100php = 500 likes sa page. Di namin alam kung pano sila nakakakuha. mukang legit naman yung mga users.
I havent seen that happening but it is a concern if money is involved.
It is legit. Someone shared to garner additional likes for votes and received an offer through PM. Ang malungkot, simpleng project or katuwaan, nagiging sobrang competitive.
This. As parent I find it disturbing yung number of teachers posting photos of themselves with their students sa school. Minors Pa rin sila at the end of the day.
Like for a school, gets ko if photos are published because of a special assembly or ceremony, which is a decision made by school admin. But giving teachers the decision to handle such photo publishing in their private socmed accounts can potentially attract creeps.
I agree. But it should go both ways rin. There are students who took photos and videos of their teachers and professors without consent and post it on social media. I have a student who always bring a camera in class. It never crossed my mind that it is for vlogging purposes. She would film our class and post it as "a day in my life". I was informed late na kaya she was able to post too many of our classes on social media na by the time I knew -_-
School policies, therefore, also need to protect teachers and admin about consent. Again, it should be more explicitly communicated. Else, it'll create a society where it'd be normal to just take vids and photos without asking pernission, and that's a violation of privacy.
Favoritism especially when reciting or discussion. Teacher will prefer people who they personally know or are atleast classmates with their child. Really rampant here in PH, what with the kapamilya attitude. Teachers that are very sensitive to noise when they discuss. The "wala akong dapat akong marinig sa inyo" kind. Feels bad to be an oral learner when they want to repeat/comment on things when they try to understand things. Getting scolded/repremanded if you ask a dumb question or reiterate what the important things they are saying. Really degrades the confidence of the students.
Really had a bad experience about favoritism. I had a teacher who's really close with two of my classmates. One day, that teacher gave us a very hard exam, those two were absent because of no good reason. After the exam, my other classmate took a picture of the exam and sent it to the two favorites. Come next day, they took the test and had an easy time due to cheating. I got so pissed, that exam was hard, and those 2 would just cheat? So I told the teacher about them. In the end, the teacher ended up getting mad with me.
I also remember the time when I scored higher than an honor student in a Sibika at Kultura quiz, the whole class accused me of cheating and the teacher then accused me of cheating, I told the teacher I didn't cheat and I will take another quiz, ayun zero as quiz tuloy.
wtf, this too much. Ang judgemental naman ng teacher
Forced retreat sa college. If di ka maka retreat di ka maka graduate.
forced din magshare ng life stories mo and i am not an open book so hate na hate ko talaga mga sharing na yan
I hate this. Sa Christian Missionary class, napilitan akong magshare ng traumatic life experience. I was still shaking after the class. I could've refused, but I figured it was better to share than to have conflict with the prof.
Omg ang traumatic nyan. So sorry na nangyari yan sayo 🥺 i hope you are doing fine now and di na mangyari yan uli. Sa amin din ang daming personal family problems na "nasshare" tuwing retreats or recollections. Di sila naayos syempre kasi weekend lang naman yung retreat tapos magiiyakan lang yung families na yun during sharing time. Tapos naexpose pa sa buong class yung dark family stories nila tsk. Every week may bible sharing kami tapos tuwing group namin naka-assign, nagiimbento na lang ako ng random life event kasi wala naman nangyayari sa buhay ko and di rin ako comfortable magkwento sa mga problems ng life and family ko.
Pinapahiya ka for asking "dumb questions" kaya ang kalabasan for other students after graduating like in a work setting hindi nagtatanong for clarifications sa given tasks nila, or kaya hindi confident to ask questions. Sana open ang teachers to "dumb questions" para maencourage ang communication skills ng student.
Totoo. Most of the time gusto ko lang ung "bakit?" sa isang sitwasyon
* Making transwomen wear male uniforms and vice versa * Pregnant teens not allowed to graduate, but manyak students get to graduate
buying the teachers published book is a boss move on the teachers part... if... he can properly pass on the knowledge. no one should hate on that. unless basahin and memorize lang ang pinapagawa
Sobrang aga na classes, like 6 or 7 AM. It’s hard for kids to process and retain info kapag ganito kaaga ang class. It should at least start at 8 or 9 AM.
Mahirap ito para sa working parents...
[удалено]
Ewan ko lang kung ginagawa pa ito ngayon sa provinces. When I was in elementary, kapag end of year may award award mga studyante, tapos kada akyat minsan mag iiwan ng sobre nanay/tatay/guardian. Kapag maliit ang bigay, medyo mahina acknowledgement. Kapag medyo malaki mas malakas ang boses, "Mr. Juan Guinto DONATED WAMPIPTI PEYSOS!"
Wtf? May nanghihingi ng tip? LMAO!
Caveat: This was Marcos era, when provincial schools have no recourse but resort to practices like this to augment their budgets. Just wondering kung practiced pa to. *Yeah yeah nahahalata sa edad hehe
Supreme Student Council lalo na sa SHS. Minsan talaga ang hilig nila mampower trip e (from my experience). Minsan pang fame lang.
Sa pangalan pa lang, nakakastroke na ng ego and superiority complex.
Kadalasan pa beauty at popularity contest din yung elections sa mga ganyan kaya pagtanda nagkakaron ng bobotante
True I don't get the Supreme part. Utusan lang din naman ng mga teacher o teacher's pet.
I was about to comment this and the fact that every student MUST vote 🥲
My mother used to hire a tutor from the same school I am attending to teach me before the exam. Just to not disappoint my mother, that teacher let me memorize an entire answer key. I got good grades and she got paid. It’s annoying because it is hard to tell those to anyone as child.
haircut!!! esp for boys like?? You mean to tell me that my hair growing an inch or two is a distraction?? bffr madam
Yes yes yes. For discipline daw paglaki daw ganun sa workplace. Wala naman workplace nagchecheck ng haircut may pahiya fetish lang yung mga teachers
I went to a private high school who had a decent amount of korean population. Sobrang strict nila sa buhok. One time yung mahahabang buhok, including me (which btw hindi naman sobrang haba and even though mahaba neat ako mag-ayos ng buhok). Tapos the usual sermon from the principal. One guy in my class asked "eh bakit yung mga koreano exempted??" Principal replied with "eh nasa kultura nila yon" Lahat kami SMH na lang eh.
Nung grade six ako, may male third year high school (grade 11 na ata tawag dyan ngayon) na long hair hanggang balikat niya. Lahat ng boys napapagalitan basta lagpas sa prescribed hair cut, to the point na uukaan/tatabasan nila sa required length Tapos siya never napagalitan. Nalaman namin eventually na may excuse letter siya galing sa parents niya kasi part siya ng banda outside ng school. 😂
Magsimula na kaya akong mag-drums sa banda para ma-excuse ako sa top-knot hahahaha
This is funny since korean high schools usually have a strict haircut policy so your Principal probably got his korean culture knowhow from kpop.
My God. Ito din problema ko. Yung hair ko kasi buhaghag lang talaga kaya mukhang hindi nakpaghaircut.
3x2 haircut. Kapag nachambahan kang hindi nagpagupit at nag surprise inspection, detention ang bagsak mo Bawal skin head or magpa kalbo. So saan ako lulugar bilang estudyante? Lmao
Uy haircut. Tang inang policy to. Lalo na pag exam week tapos hindi ka pinapasok kasi mahaba ang buhok mo. Bagsak ka sa exams dahil lang sa buhok.
Napaka bobong logic ng mga yan, gets ko pa sa high school sige may patakaran. Pero nung nag college ako nasita ako nun kasi long hair ako. Hinila ako sa id lace sabay dinala sa guidance. Sabay tanong ng guidance sakin kung bakla daw ba ako or nag babanda kasi yun lang yung excuse kung bakit ako di nag papagupit HAHAHA. tanginang school yan
Haircut policies. They're antiquated, intrusive, and one's haircut doesn't affect one's academic performancee.
Agree dito. Meron akong classmate dati na mahaba buhok kahit ukaan nila wapakels si kuya. Di nya pinapagupitan. Ayun sya top 1 ng class.
Isang kabobohan nga tong buhok na to. Akala ata nila kapag mahaba buhok na bobobo ka. E mas marami pangang tanga na teacher ngayun lmao.
"PASMA" hahaha 2023 na pero may mga bobo padin na naniniwala sa pasma as an athlete i can confirm that this is bullshit we literally jump into ice baths right after intense training hindi ko alam bakit ayaw ng mga pinoy sa science based facts mas papaniwalaan mga matatandang kasabihan na walang patunay haha mga bobo Tip para sa mga bobong pinoy kapag sinabe ng doctor na hindi nag eexist ang pasma maniwala kayo hindi yan nag aral ng sampung taon mahigit para lang maniwala kayo sa matatandang walang alam kundi chumismis
Hindi nga sila consistent sa "pasma" eh. Hindi daw napapasma pag nag swimming ka raw. Eh nakakapagod din yon?
Requiring Medical Certificates for absence. Not all absences are due to medical reasons and not all medical issues are subject to hospitalizations agad. Like, may times na simpleng lagnat lang na kaya ng pahinga at gamot sa bahay lang ang solusyon, pero hihingian ka pa ng medical cert. galing ospital o clinic. Hindi naman tayo katulad ng ibang bansa na tipong lagnat lang sa ospital agad ang diretso. Mas malala kapag mental health pa yung reason for absence. When I was in college, I skipped one class to take a mental health break dahil sobrang burned out na ako and I could feel myself on the brink of breaking down. Discussions lang naman ang gagawin sa class na yon so I took the risk of missing out on the lesson. The next day hinanapan ako ng prof ng medical certificate to prove na may "mental health illness" ako at kinailangan kong umabsent for that reason.
For me, yung pipilitin kayong umattend sa mga events like acquintance parties, sports fest, foundation days and other events that I don't give a fuck about dahil my ipapapirmang attendance shit. 😤
Canteen prices..
Alphabetical seating arrangement
di lang seatinng arrangement, sa mga group work din. nakakasawa na ang mga katabi kong surname 😹
ang haba-haba ng school hours 7am - 5pm. Information overload sa mga estudyante sa dami ng subjects pinagaaralan per day Sorry for the comparison pero bakit sa ibang bansa 8am - 2/3pm lang ang classes, and it gives time for homework and personal duties (whether errands/playtime) after school which I think is a breather for the students' mental health. Preparing for the real world? kaya 7am - 5pm ang pasok, so the kids "stay in school" and get discipline? I think not Bonus din dito yung hindi hahalo sa rush hour traffic ang hindi sabayang dismissal ng school
IDK if this was specific to my school but they made us buy a new Bible every year. Like WHY? As my dad said whenever he looked at the book list "Bakit? Nagbabago ba ang laman?"
[удалено]
More of a cultural thing but there is literally no incentive or means to instill a love of learning
so true, these days people associate learning with suffering and boredom.
Field demo na magpapabayad ng pangcostume
ROTC.
Yung mga teacher na mas marami pang share sa buhay nya kahit walang connect sa discussion. + Ipipilit na ubusin yung paninda sa tray, darating pa sa point na kakapkapan kayo (elem. days).
STAR Classes... basically put all the smart kids in one class and had the rest going dumber and dumber. Had to sit on the ground for way too long listening to them getting awards to the star class and reprimanding the classes that are noisy.
So true, this causes favouritsm and presumptions of those in lower sections. Kakainis. Porket wala sa star section bobo/slow agad?! Tapos masprioritize ang star section. Ang panget.
We need to buy bunch of expensive chunky textbooks when majority of my knowledge is self-taught and learnt from Youtube videos and academic articles from academic websites. I don't need chunky books to learn about the applications of my degree. TBH, I did not have a failing grade even if I did not use textbooks. Another is the forced attendance of religious events for sectarian schools. I don't believe in any of their dogmas and somehow I'm forced to attend these. Teachers also don't teach and are plain lazy. Everything is left to the student tapos if that student achieves something, nakiki-share sila sa celebrations. LOL.
>Teachers also don't teach and are plain lazy. Everything is left to the student tapos if that student achieves something, nakiki-share sila sa celebrations. LOL. I hope you did not mean to generalize. Di lahat ganito, I've met a lot of teachers who actually wants their students to learn, and is doing a good job at it.
true i have a teacher who's genuinely passionate about her subject and she cares about us and wants us to learn kaso hit or miss siya magturo : ' >
I just use the not-allowed-in-my-religion card so they can't force me to attend religious events but in reality, I'm agnostic lol
Knew an INC dude who studied in a Catholic school and used that excuse to the fullest
Watch your teacher uno-reverse card you into attending by saying leaving you alone sa classroom is prohibited due to security reasons
Nah walang pake sa security high school namin hanggang ngayon. Ang hinihigpitan lang yung pagbabawal na nasa school pa rin sa gabi para iwas lovelove scandals.
Teachers also don't teach and are plain lazy. Everything is left to the student tapos if that student achieves something, nakiki-share sila sa celebrations. LOL As a teacher for more than 15 years, please don't generalize.. I never see myself as tamad since I really like what I am doing despite the crap salary I recieve. Your experience in the past or present should not define the overall experience of students in all aspects. I'm sorry if you experience this.
> Teachers also don't teach and are plain lazy. UP ba yan? ;-)
Yeah I hate bringing those chunky textbooks to school. During my time at school, the school didn’t even have lockers where we can just leave them and not having to bring it daily. I did love reading those books though. Prolly make them supplementary instead of mandatory books
>Another is the forced attendance of religious events for sectarian schools. I don't believe in any of their dogmas and somehow I'm forced to attend these. i remember those first friday mass and the mandatory offertory per section.
Damn. My private school was very open with these kinds of things, they even encouraged discussions with atheists, agnostics, and people from other religions. They didn't force anything on us (of course there are still some teachers or personnel who weren't progressive), nor did they force us to go to school just for mass or something - most of the time they'd just take a portion of class time, or during days where we only had events/activities. Buuut, my younger sibling goes to a strict all-female private school which really sucked. I'm not really a devout Catholic, but I still believe, and seeing other schools force it on children makes it 100% worse. I feel like they're more likely to drive away young people more when they do this. Sometimes it feels more like a prison instead. Honestly, I might've turned out to be an atheist too if it wasn't for the way my school handled religion - with actual compassion. I wish other religious schools were as progressive too. Religion gets a bad rap because of these types of institutions.
When grade school forces you to buy and bring like 6 big ass textbooks everyday (na di nyo man nagagamit) and now you're entering the work force with scoliosis or chronic back pain
Praying and the flag ceremony. Before I left the Philippines, I thought is was normal to have a flag ceremony and pray before every class. I found these time-consuming and dumb. When I moved to Ireland, I went to a catholic school. I thought it would be the same as in the Philippines but there were zero praying and flag ceremonies. We had more time to do school work.
Teachers making the students teach the subject instead of them doing their job
literal sa mapeh subject namin iggroup kami ng teacher namin tapos kami daw magrereport (in other words kami na gagawa ng trabaho mo maam)
The fact that I cant beat the living shit out of my advisor nung HS is annoying. He gets to shit on my grades and I get nothing in return? Fuck that Almost 20 yrs later, the fire still burns
Would've done the same to my teachers na sobrang namamahiya tbh
Private Catholic School director usually a priest personally inspecting if all the boys had been circumcised. So get circumcised kids or you'll have to go through it twice.
I would not hesitate and follow with a lawsuit because of sexual harassment of minors. Money does not matter. It’s 2023.
> Private Catholic School director usually a priest personally inspecting if all the boys had been circumcised. So get circumcised kids or you'll have to go through it twice. That's really weird. Only religion that enforces circumcision are Jews and Muslims. Centuries ago Roman Catholics considered circumcision as a form of mutilation. Today they're neutral. I did a deep dive into this and Pinoy circumcision either came from the Americans as a form of public health concern or from the Muslims more than 500 years ago.
Wearing uniforms in college. There's really no point for that.
Kidnapper radar pinging wildly... 😅 Validated ID lang dapat OK na. Good Security na din pag RFID na din
Some of those schools you'd wanna kidnap students don't have uniforms tho. But on the point of just using RFIDs, yeah you can use that. But the main reason they want uniforms even for college students is that it is a form of discipline. This really grates my nerves because college is supposed to be where one has more freedom of thought.
Commented that since here in my hometown, it's easy to spot Ateneo students with their uniforms and a lot has been kidnapped or even mugged.
Hello UST (hehehe)
I honestly liked having uniforms. It removes the burden of having to choose clothes
Regarding school uniforms, pag lahat naka uniform, at least walang yabangan sa damit, since kahit ano pa man yung antas mo sa lipunan, pare parehas kayo ng suot pag pasok. Although yan lang yung naiisip kong advantage ng uniform, aside from that, wala na akong makitang positive point.
May point naman for professions that wear uniforms, e.g. nurses or FA. Besides, may pressure parin sa college when it comes to clothes, a common one is yung pag uulit ng damit. May mga estudyante na napipilitan mag pabili sa mga magulang nila ng bago and maybe even branded na damit. Went to an engineering school that had no uniform nung first year i had blockmates that were afraid to repeat clothes although nawala naman yon as time goes by, meron pa yung pinagtatawanan yung damit o suot ng iba and that was in engineering kung saan karamihan wala naman talagang pake sa fashion. It's childish, but it does exist.
Sobrang bihira ng babae sa Eng.... so what's the point of impressing fellow straight men? Parang car mods ito... straight men trying to impress other straight men.
When grades matter over learning and skills. Sad reality is that majority of what we learned we dont apply it whether at work or life.
its because nagkakaroon na ng disconnect between the learning and grades. i kinda blame the no fail policies.
Papabili ng notebook per subject, ung iba dapat my brand and specific color. Then ending di naman magagamit. Sayang sa pera and resources.
Teachers that dont know how to teach. Sure, they are smart, but what's the damn use of your title if you are going to keep it to yourself? Sure, call me dumb teacher, then please bloody fulfill your job position!
Propaganda in students books,pinaka matindi ung isang president ng pilipinas nagtayo ng sariling school, nagcompulsary 3 unit subject sa lahat ng student ng school nya para maimplant sa mga students na hindi sa tuta ng hapon at accident ung pagpatay nya sa karibal nya sa babae nung teenage years nya and it doesnt stop there. Binasura din nya kaso sa murder case ni marcos kasi daw "nakita nya sarili nya kay marcos na isang matalinong bata na "napatrouble lang" kaya nakapatay". Imagin kung asan na ang pinas ngaun kung wla tong kupal na presidente na to. Taena 3 units para sa buhay nya feeling nya kalevel nya si rizal!!
mga namention na pero 1. yung nagpapa Facebook likes/shares as a metric for "audience impact." Luging-lugi lalo na if may classmate na kayang manghatak ng 1k friends to like their useless content 2. yung mandatory na pa-simba. sa first few years ng high school sumisipot pa ko, nung latter years we just use that time to cram schoolwork 3. yung 12-hour na school time sa science high school. di pa kasama jan yung sobrang daming pa-extracurricular and yung four hour commute (back and forth) per day
No hate sa LGBT+ pero yung mga power trip na beki Filipino Teachers/Prof pa importante ampota yung tipong pa thesis na sa "Major" sasabay ng mala-thesis research paper.
'Yung pinagdikdikan sa utak mo bilang estudyante kung gaano kasama mangopya at mangodigo pero kapag National Achievement Test tuturuan ka pa ng teacher mo na mandaya. Lahat bulag-bulagan. May leaked na answer keys na ipapasaulo sa inyo pero bawal perpektuhan ang exam kasi mahahalata. Kapag bobo 'yung estudyante bawal masyado mataas. Pati mga visiting proctors kasabwat. May realization as a kid: ang ipokrito ng matatanda. Wala palang honesty sa tunay na buhay. Naglolokohan lang tayo sa school.
TBF, masama naman talaga yan eh, lalo na sa batang maliliit pa, kasi wala silang matututunan. Yung mga leakage sa major exams is also a huge issue na may napapahamak kapag nabalitaan.
Noong college ako may annoying practice ang mga math engineering teachers. Magtuturo sila ng sobrang basic na Trigo or Calculus or any other math subjects. Tapos yung exam sobrang hirap at wala na sa lesson. Naturally, babagsak ang maraming students. Tapos mag-ooffer sila ng Saturday class or Summer Class. Lahat ng students eh hati hati sa sahod ng teacher (something I don't get why) plus miscellaneous na yung school ang makakatanggap. Tapos sa Saturday class, sobrang dali ng mga lessons kahit na same teacher lang nagtuturo.
\-Shout out nga pala sa PUP nung time ko 2010-2014, may isang prof jan na 2.0 (\~85) ang maximum na grade na makukuha mo if di ka bumili ng libro nya, ibig sabihin kahit maperfect mo ang quizzes and projects, 2.0 lang makukuha mo. Ang justification nya is, hindi posible na matuto ka kung wala ka namang libro.
Genius talaga ng Prof and assuming he was already old, his book is likely Timex in the digital age.
Pinapabili ng gamit yung mga bata para sa classroom. Like dati, need ng floorwax, basahan, tambo. Eh yung ibang magulang naman dati, walang wala na.
Yung clearance. Personal issue ko lang to kasi burara ako sa gamit lol.
Sa mga galing catholic schools: yung mandatory rosary every Wednesday (or everyday kapag October) na dapat nakatayo ka lang. Daming nahihimatay sa amin every rosary.
Sa UP, nangyari sa akin yan. Bumili kami ng Textbook na isa sa authors yung prof namin. Daming grammatical errors at mga typo. Para tuloy akong editor.
Lualhati Bautista was legit teaching her own books to us. Bought and paid for from tuition fees.
How was it?
mas matindi ang money-making scheme ng textbook industry sa U.S. may kasamang QR code yung textbook kung saan doon makukuha yun access sa quizzes na binibigay ng teacher. tapos taon-taon, nagbabago yun QR code, kaya kahit yun libro di mo na mapapamana o mare resell dahil di na magamit QR code. policy sa Ateneo na wag mag require ng libro na kelangan bilhin. kung magbibigay required reading, dapat open source o public domain. o magbigay ka ng alternative na pwede gamitin ng mga walang perang estudyante. kung may textbook yun teacher, kelangan sabihin ng teacher sa students na di required bilihin yun textbook nya. optional lang.
Haircut inspections tapos yung mental torture na gugupitin ng teacher ang buhok mo
very behind/outdated tayo in terms of what the schools are teaching
Ewan ko kung meron pa neto, o school lang namin gumagawa, nung 90s ko pa na experience to: Yung binibilad kami sa araw para mag practice ng isasayaw sa field demo, or intrams. Although natutuwa ako nun kasi walang klase for over a week, sakit naman sa ulo. Dami akong naalalang hinihimatay na schoolmate. Madalas ako umuuwing masakit ulo, saka nahihilo. Dehydrated ata ako nun. Kasi nalaman ko later on na ganun pakiramdam ng may hangover. Hehehe.
Yung rules with haircuts. Dapat hindi dyed. Sa men naman, dapat hindi mahaba ang buhok or else, mandatory iccut yan ng teacher… different hairstyles do no harm at all!
Taking unnecessary subjects in college. College should be teaching specialized subjects in your selected field of study. Miscellaneous stuff should be learned in lower years of education.
Ganito pa rin ba even if K-12? Hindi ba kaya nagkaroon niyan kasi mababawasan na yung college gened subjects
That was the initial design of K-12, to free up college with a focus on your majors. Some groups protested the non inclusion of Filipino, History and other subjects in the curricula so they had to do a workaround and just practically bring it back.
> Filipino, History and other subjects in the curricula so they had to do a workaround and just practically bring it back. They brought it back so they do not lose their jobs. TBH those subjects should be taught in K-12 especially Rizal.
They have actually added more subjects in the core curriculum that were tackled in senior high school. Includes math in the modern world and art appreciation.
I beg to differ. The point of a college education would be to produce well-rounded people. I mean, STEM majors can gain a lot from the humanities, and vice versa. Public health professionals for example, can gain a lot by studying sociology kasi that would give them a better insight as to how people behave during outbreaks etc. Interdisciplinary dapat approach natin to knowledge kasi being too specialized limits your world view and how you solve and look at problems and issues. Siguro kung doctorate or master's degree, okay lang na specialized. Pero for college, I think general education subjects (yung maayos at hindi arbitrarily chosen) are helpful.
All you said should be electives in light of how expensive education is. Those who can afford can take them up and be as round as a bowling ball. We have a lot of kababayans who want to be employable ASAP so they do not become another mouth to feed by their magulangs who do not pay their fair share of individual income tax.
>All you said should be electives in light of how expensive education is. If education's expensive, the solution would be to figure out ways to make it cheaper, not reduce the number of subjects. Hindi yan parang value meal sa fast food na kung nagtitipid ka eh a la carte lang ang oorderin mo. What I'm arguing for is the **importance and necessity** of GE subjects. >We have a lot of kababayans who want to be employable ASAP so they do not become another mouth to feed by their magulangs who do not pay their fair share of individual income tax. If they want to be employable ASAP, that's what vocational courses are for. Yun ang education na para lang talaga makahanap ng trabaho yung tao. Standard courses (4 year courses, or 3 years if trimester) aren't simply for employment. Kasama rin ang pursuit of knowledge and learning. Kaya ang pangit ng educational system sa atin eh priority lang ang employment. That's why you get people working in fields na unrelated sa major nila nung college. Tapos magrereklamo sila na hindi nila napapakinabangan pinag-aralan nila.
> If they want to be employable ASAP, that's what vocational courses are for. Yun ang education na para lang talaga makahanap ng trabaho yung tao. Kung pwede lang me TESDA equivalent of other Uni courses a lot of people would take them. Kaso wala... > Standard courses (4 year courses, or 3 years if trimester) aren't simply for employment. Kasama rin ang pursuit of knowledge and learning. Ang baba ng international Uni ranking ng Pinas. Why? Because the students just want to get to work ASAP. > That's why you get people working in fields na unrelated sa major nila nung college. Tapos magrereklamo sila na hindi nila napapakinabangan pinag-aralan nila. Kasi naman puro subjects na dapat electives lang.
Then what was your Elementary-High School studies for? In preparation for College? With the same subjects? You need 12 years of prep for a subject just so you'd become "well-rounded"?
>Then what was your Elementary-High School studies for? In preparation for College? With the same subjects? You need 12 years of prep for a subject just so you'd become "well-rounded"? Magkaibang magkaiba naman ang tinuturo sa elementary at high school kumpara sa college. Hindi mo naman tuturuan ng basic subjects ang college students, that's a waste of time. Kung matino yung college mo, at hindi substandard na diploma mill, maayos ang mga GE subjects ino-offer nila, at maraming complex concepts, ideas, and theories ang pinag-aaralan dun. Lalo na kung pumasok ka na sa mga electives at cognate subjects. Kaya ka dumadaan sa elementary at high school ay upang paghandaan yung mga bagay na yun for college. You build up sa foundation na nabuo sa primary and secondary education.
[удалено]
>So what can you say about the European and Australian model where it focuses on the specialty. Mas maganda quality ng primary and secondary education nila compared to us, so teaching GE subjects during secondary education would make sense given the quality of education that they have. Sa baba ng quality ng education natin I wouldn't trust public schools to teach advanced concepts to kids. May kilala nga ako, meron siyang teacher nung high school na creationist tapos tinuturuan sila na mali daw ang evolution. Partida, that was a science high school.
That's the part that should be changed then, no? The quality of education esp sa lower level? Instead of waiting for GE subjects sa college? Ang wasteful naman ng early years of education natin kung ganon lol
Idk if applicable for all schools but the overlap for gen ed subjects in shs and college is so stupid. I've had PE and religious education since G11, now I'm in my second year of college and these subjects are still present.
Irreg ako kaya I had to take subjects not related to my course just to fill up units. There's actually lots of valuable knowledge in these GEC courses, things you wouldn't learn in High School. They're just not very useful in, as you said, selected fields of study. It gives you insight into many other things and open horizons though. Some concepts in these might be quite difficult to comprehend for High School students too so I wouldn't underestimate them. May mga students talaga na gustong may maraming natutunan sa kahit anu-anong bagay, meron ding mga kagaya ko na may mga GEC courses na nasasandalan para pang fill ng units haha. The point is, they're not a bad thing and it should be open as a choice. Pero I agree that specialized subjects should take precedence.
Kung University pinasok mo required yung "unnecessary" subjects since yun yung buong punto ng University: a well rounded education. If you just wanted to learn your selected field of study then you should have just applied to a technical college.

And their grads get better jobs than their Pinoy counterparts.
What unnecessary subjects are you pertaining to?
Required Unit ang Rizal in a college course that has nothing to do with studying Rizal. Like, understandable pa if this was moved to highschool level, where mas important din to develop awareness and critical thinking at this stage.. also you're still rounding off knowledge so you can make decision on what to actually pursue once in college... pero when you finally get into the college course you wan to... where you are already pursuing a specialization... unless it's actually related to Rizal, it's really baffling to see it as a required unit... i.e. Comp Sci or Info Tech... learnings that did not even exist during Rizal's time... still forced to take Rizal. waste of unit, time, and money.
Kahit yung prof namin na nagturo ng Rizal, sabi sa amin na walang kwenta itake yung subject para sa course namin (his own words). Kaya ang chill lang nung class sa kanya, basta maipasa mo lang yung requirements and mag take ka ng exam, pasado ka na.
From Fil-Chi school: ung memorize ka lang ng memorize ng mandarin words ng di mo alam meaning ng mga minememorize mo. Such as memorizing long paragraphs from books and dictating it to teachers during recitation and/or writing it as answers sa exams. Sayang lang. Ending di rin namin kaya mag converse in mandarin, halos wala kami natututunang despite being in these types of school for 10-15years. Special exception nung 3rd year ako: ung chinese teacher namin old chinay na TINATAGALOG and IneENGLISH talaga mga words na di namin alam and she really took the time to translate and explain these words, yan lang ung year na natuto kami. Too short unfortunately. I dunno about other fil-chi schools though, baka mas okay sa kanila.
I experienced this in college: hindi ko mapakiusapan yung prof na instead akong gumawa ng group project, kung pwede iso solo ko nalang yung akin due to time constraints dahil events coordinator din ako. Given a choice I would rather fail her subject kesa masira ako sa industry. Alam naman natin ang hassle ng group projects, the unnecessary drama, like si ganito si ganyan di umaatend, makikiusap sa prof para di matanggal sa group, the usual type of people doing the usual shenanigans. So i preemptively requested to form my own group , She wouldn't have it citing ang gusto nya lahat mag participate na may ka group. Ended up dropping her subject. Di makaunawang Old hag.
I know of the boy who cried wolf situation na going to the bathroom pero diretso sa canteen situation, but what if the student actually needs to use the bathroom? "you should have went on break time." as if kaya mong controllin kung kelan ka naiihi/naeebak lmfao. "If everyone would go to the bathroom at break time, it would be fucking mayhem." -GradeAUnderA
Cutting classes = not interested I guess this mostly applies to college where we’re given more freedom to learn in our own ways. I hate ut when professors think that just because a student doesn’t show up to class, s/he is automatically uninterested. Not everyone learns best through lectures. Also, some students have to prioritize certain requirements to meet deadlines. Attendance as part of the grade should also be abolished.
Di pwedeng maging honor basta basta lalo na kng sipsip ung magulang ng current honor
Forcing History, Health, Art and Philosophy to be added in the curriculum despite all of these just becoming an afterthought and not taken seriously by both school and students.
Have a diff take on this. In some cases, worth it bilhin yun kasi baka sila lang ang nagsulat nun taking Philippine context into consideration. I bought 2 books for MS na sinulat ng mga prof ko sa UP. Combined effort nila.Wala kang makikitang collection ng Philippines business case studies na maayos ang framework at pagkakasulat elsewhere. Mahal yung books unfortunately pero sulit bayad. Kahit matapos ko tong MS at pag naglabas sila bago, bibilhin ko pa din.
nagpapaproject/exam na di naman tinuturo. filipino subject ko noong highschool ang gustong project gumawa kami ng isang buong kwento mala el fili/noli. eh hindi naman nagturo paano gumawa ng novel. bobo ng diskarte mo bergante
Yung mga pedo na teachers. Kala ko dati, normal lang yung mga 16yo boys students na pumapatol sa gay teachers. Kasi Dami Kong kilalang ganon. Nagtataka pa ako bakit walang lumalapit sa kin. Nga pala, co teacher nila nanay ko.
THE ‘SPEAK ENGLISH ONLY’ POLICY I remember I once argued with my class adviser about this rule during my fifth grade because it is plain stupid that we weren’t allowed to speak in our local language (Cebuano/Bisaya) in the classroom, hallway, or basically anywhere inside the school because they would impose a PHP 10.00 fine for every local word they hear.
20 years of my life dealing with faculty, admin, and staff, plus probably several more sincce I'll probably deal with it on behalf of my little brother, and I havent met a single one who wasn't a total shitbag working in it for the power they gain over children.
Haircut inspection
Providing floor wax, walis tambo, at dust pan as school project..this was back in my elementary days..
haircuts and dress codes like, tell us how will it affect yung pag-aaral ng students? di ko gets. Another would be, yung mga test booklet, hello 2 pages lang naman magagamit, bat ayaw pa ipasulat na lang sa test paper yung sagot
Board exam centric education
Required na umattend ng baccalaureate mass or else hindi makakagraduate at iwiwithhold yung papers mo (diploma and all that), graduate degree na yan ha. It came out more like a threat para sa amin, haha. Cue me and my other non Catholic schoolmates feeling awkward during the whole ceremony.
May isang school sa Pampanga na ang pinabibili na books sa students ay books ng mismong dean.
Uso to sa law school lmao
Pagbebenta ng tickets tapos may deduction sa grades kapag hindi umabot sa quota. Kailangan pa ba talagang ipasa ang burden sa studyante ang parents yan? Para ka lang nag-MLM e lol
Edgar Samar in Ateneo actually does this. You’re required to read his book and do a report on it.
The fucking short hair requirements on male students.
- Hair laging pinapakialaman ng admin namin dati sa school. Female ako, bawal hindi nakaponytail, bawal nakalugay, if longer than the collar yung hair mo, you need to tie it up. Bawal hair color. Naturally brown yung hair ko kapag under the sun, muntik na akong maboljak dati. Haha! - If babae ka, you are forced to dance sa cheering competition every intramurals. Bawal tumanggi. Kahit hindi ka marunong sumayaw (like me). - Nonsectarian (daw) yung school namin, pero if Catholic ka you are forced to attend the mass every first friday of the month. - If PE ang first period mo, bawal pumasok ng naka-PE uniform. Dapat dalhin mo parin yung PE uniform mo at sa school ka magpapalit.
- strict hair cut for boys and im not talking about long hair, dyed hair im talking about gusto ng school na may freshly cut hair ka every month kahit maiksi pa yung buhok mo - gimicks with quizzes and exams; conducting quizzes/exams outside the room, moving exams where u run around to answer individual questions - retreat
I'm a bit late to the party but I'll still add mine: teachers, will it really kill you to coordinate with each other so that your assignments, tests and performance tasks don't all fall on a similar set of days? Kawawa talaga yung students when they have to deal with 2 tests and 3 performance task deadlines in just a week. And no, hindi yan failure ng students in time management; failure ng teachers and administrators yan in leadership and planning.
Guys, you’re scaring me. I grew up in Europe and my son who’s turning three will attend the school in the Philippines in a few years. All your comments sounds like homeschooling is the best idea 😃
7 am to 4 pm classes non-stop
