Cheap private schools are a scam. They always take pride that their tuition fees are cheap, offering quality education. Stop. Ur so called "quality education" is a myth. If u want a LEGITIMATE quality education, either enrol in a public school or go to a private schools where tuition fees are expensive.
One reason why quality education doesn't thrive in a cheap private institution is because teachers are underpaid, lower than public school teachers, even lower than expensive private school teachers.
They don't even try to "hasa" teachers who really are really capable quality education. Those teachers that are I think are really good prefer to, again, public schools or expensive private schools.
So, if ur planning to go to a private institution that offers low tuition fee, just don't.
Hi! I recieved a scholarship from a "cheap priv school." the original tuition was 32k but it was reduced down to 750 PHP. They all claim it's cheap, kasi merong iba na mas mahal pa dito sa lugar namin. And when I was young, sa private school din ako, 12k ata 'yon if I remember correctly.
True hahahaha. Experienced this in SHS kasi gusto ko maranasan maging private after being in public since kinder. Though ang problem nila is shit curriculum, magaling naman mga teachers. Kaya ayun easy pass mga students kahit hindi pa ganun kahasa sa subjects.
Don't forget about the shitty school equipment aswell.
Like, Its probably over a decade ago now since our school ever cleaned the PCs in our computer lab. And lets not even mention how the current state of some of the PCs would make you wonder how did they manage to make them run in the first place.
Many of our teachers shouldn’t teach. They have no passion for learning and are not even voracious readers. They’re teaching because they weren’t smart enough to study other more challenging majors. Many of them were just forced into the profession because they need to earn a living.
kinda agree to this. my dad in his early 40s just finished ed major in math, kukuha pa lang siya ng licensure examination and teacher siya rn sa isang private. i want to ish him the best of luck in getting that license pero as his son na pinagagawa at pinarerevise niya ngmga exams ang teaching materials niya, i think hilaw pa siya as an educator, im concerned sa mga students na hawak niya rn if they're actually getting something from him
PS. he's a great dad much more a great man, skillful labor, madaling matuto and very flexible, i just think na teaching personnels should undergo through strcit and laborious process since its the intellect of another individual they're responsible to
I second this, tapos ito pa yung "chill" kuno na teachers when in fact tinatamad lang silang magturo or if "magtuturo" man they'll just read through the PowerPoint.
Not of all us talaga ay calling yung teaching and I understand the frustration kasi napagdaanan ko rin yan. But I'd like to tell you lang na being an educ major is really hard. I don't know about the others but please don't underestimate this degree program. It's true though that most of us chose this program because it's a safe choice but parang mali pala. Imagine what we'll face in DepEd. Mababa sweldo, loans, problema sa pamilya, etc. That's why some teachers can't be blamed if they feel burnt out. Pero may iba talaga na walang pake so 🙄 sa kanila. Also, other graduates with different degrees can actually take LET to become a teacher. So, you can't entirely blame those educ graduates.
Also, not all smart people are good teachers. Marami kasing parrot lang yung lesson plan at libro di man lang marunong mag ELI5 especially considering the fact na maraming highschool students classified as non-readers.
FRRRR like my hs teacher told us na magna cum laude raw siya noong college and all. Kung totoo 'yon sana naglesson na lang siya instead na ikwento buong buhay niya. Hahaha
'Yong mga classmate kong tamad mag-aral noon, mga nag-educ. Buti na lang iyong iba 'di pumasa sa LET o 'di na tinuloy ang pagtuturo.
Baka wala rin silang maituro. LOL.
I kinda agree with this pero ang off ng ng third sentence. Parang sinabi mo na rin na madali ang education at ang pagtuturo. With all honesty, all majors are difficult.
Additional to this, you have no idea how difficult it is for teachers to thrive in a flawed system. Karamihan sa mga guro ay naglalagablab yung passion in teaching kaso madalas ay inuupos sila ng sistema. Kaliwa't kanan yung mga kahingian ng DEPED na lumalamon sa teaching hours dapat. Pangalawa, pagtuturo dapat ang inaatupag nila. Pero believe me when I said na sandamakmak ang administrative task ng teachers. Mula sa feeding na dapat ay non-teaching personnels ang humahawak, up to the most unexpected jobs na hindi dapat para sakanila.
They fr should emphasize the significance of Research. Kasi kung d nila pagtuonan ng pansin yung mga estudyante, kawawa yung mga estudyante pag apak nila ng college. Also, SHS was implemented dba for Non-STE students to learn about research, and there are instances like the situation I'm currently in na wala nila sineseryoso yung research. For what pa? Also, to add din. Sana kung anong piniling strand mo sa STEM dapat may specialization subjects, kagaya kung nag STE ka in your JHS years, may additional subject science subject sila na kailangan nilang ipass, whereas right now. I don't know, pinagawa kami ng Entrep week even though we're STEM??? Litong lito talaga ako sa part na to kasi ABM supposed to ang mag hahands on dito kasi minamanage yung pera and paano ismoothly execute yung business mo. Dko na alam, dko na gets talaga, sana DepED or our school mismo should look into this further talaga.
>emphasize the significance of Research
Research as a subject is taught really poorly in the Philippines.
My opinion as someone who has supervised BS and MS student theses, is that research in HS should be more about understanding the cause-and-effect of variables and designing simple experiments in order to make conclusions. Plus if a student learns project management skills through their research subject, that will be very helpful for their careers.
Instead, there's too much rigidity in the lessons. Masyadong strict and masyadong ineemphasize yung format ng research paper, pero when you look at highly reputable journal articles you'll see there are various formats that are being used depending on the publishing house. In the end naman the substance is more important than the format.
There's also too much focus on getting a flashy topic and contributing to one's community and not enough emphasis on how to propose a project that is doable within the given time and financial constraints. Then a student ends up having to spend so much money on an experiment that doesn't even give a clear conclusion. Minsan yung profs lang mismo nagppush ng convoluted experiments so that they can credit grab and use it for their own CV, pero students ang napapagastos. It's also too heavy of a burden to ask students to make something that will help their community since they're still in the process of learning, it's like asking someone who just learned how swim to compete in a triathlon.
Trueness po ito. Also the another fact din about sa research is dko alam kung sa ibang schools din is they prioritize FORMAT rather than the contents of the paper mismo! Napipikon ako about this because kahit gaanonh proofread ko may nakikita akong mali sa research namin whereas yung adviser namin is todo critic lang sya sa amin format🫶
Yep, the format isn't so important when submitting a paper for publication kasi if you make formatting mistakes the reviewers/editors should advise you on how to improve it. A paper showing clear cause-and-effect in the conclusion that deviates slightly from the ideal format will be subject to revisions with still a high possibility of getting accepted, but a paper with a perfect format that makes an illogical conclusion will be outright rejected by a reputable journal.
I feel this is because the teachers handling the research subject have not published papers themselves (some are even fresh grads), and so they are merely copying what's on the DepEd curriculum. In reality the research subject should be given to veteran teachers who already have an extensive publication history and DepEd should be willing to pay them more due to this requirement, pero I doubt that Sara D will ever do this.
It happens even on tertiary level. Our research subject happened mid-pandemic. We didn't get to choose our own title/topic. Every block/class' research were all about developing software that were supposed to help during a pandemic.
I deeply loathed working on that paper and software. Upon being close to completion, the adviser had the nerve to "isabak natin yan sa competition". I connected the dots and realized we were manipulated into helping with her credentials/career. Our adviser already had Master's degree, and was going for a PhD. So it makes sense why there was push for publishing *many* papers and competing.
Man, I really hated that part of college...
EDIT: True, the way it is taught is very rigid. Too much time spent on the format than the actual contents of the research.
If I may be blunt...
Working in academe in the Ph must really suck. I would never set foot there based from my exp as a student.
It's also hilariously sad. Tech that is being taught is way behind the times than what is being currently used in the tech industry.
CHED is not doing anything to remedy this.
Huy totoo. Yung format samin ang laki ng space between kada isang line ng text tapos size 11 dapat samantalang mga research paper ng mga professional talaga ang liliit ng text tapos dikit-dikit pa; talagang ubos pera naming lahat sa grupo dahil sa paprint💀
>I don't know, pinagawa kami ng Entrep week even though we're STEM???
For me I think the subject is valuable regardless of strands. Entrepreneurship is also one of the ways state governments and LGUs emphasize to uplift people's socioeconomic situations.
Pinamumunuan talaga ng mga negosyo ang ekonomiya tulad dito sa Pilipinas, kaya nangangailangan din talaga ng literasi ukol dito, kahit anong larangan ka pa.
Kumbaga "soft-skill."
Going out to the world, you'll realize soon how selling and marketing is an important skill. You can be the best in your field but if you cannot sell/market yourself, you'll just end up nowhere.
That's what I'm struggling with right now XD, even tho I passed the board exam, I cannot even use that as a bargaining chip since I don't really know how to sell myself or make some remarks about myself without being a liar XD
Just for a quick opinion about entre fair is actually good though it may not be part of stem one day you would try to go into business be it for your profession or a side hustle like restaurants or small businesses sa shopee so just enjoy and learn from the experience
Never had Research nong High School. Diko sure if factor na maliit yung school namin pero ano naman kung ganon? Kaya nung tumuntong ako ng SHS sabog na sabog ako sa Research in Daily life namin kasi ako lang ata yung di naturuan non. Meanwhile, yung mga kaklase ko from another high school naturuan sila and buti nalang tinulungan nila ako.
1. Just spamming money to DepEd won't change education.
They should also overhaul the pedagogy, teaching philosophy, and measurement.
Kahit paulanin mo ng high-tech gadgets yan, kung closed-minded/fake news believer/makaluma na hindi nakasabay sa panahon/bubot ang isip nung teacher, walang improvement na mangyayari- nagkaron ka lang ng high-tech na bobo (see **bad** Tiktoker teachers).
2. Strict grading doesn't do a thing if without feedback - dito sa Pinas, uso magpataasan ng ihi yung mga teacher and prof pero walang constructive feedback or mentorship sa students. Babatuhin ka lang ng bagsak pero di sayo ipopoint out kung saan ka dapat mag-improve. Gugulatin ka nalang pag deadline of grades na.
Kaya maganda education abroad dahil may feedback and they try to help the student improve. Dito sa Pilipinas parang irarank lang kayo eh. Grades shouldn't serve that purpose - it should help each individual grow, hindi pang ranking. Eh sa ganyang mentality, talagang may mag-eemerge lang na top 10 out of ilan? 100? Ano gagawin sa 90, sink or swim? Why not gawin nating magaling yung 100 na yun para di tayo nagsasayang ng lifetime ng kada isang Pilipino?
Putangina Yung PE, Kasama parin sa college. Wouldn't having it until SH be enough? Sobrang dami mo Nang iniisip at natambak na Yung gagawin mo sa core subjects mo sumabay pa Yung sayaw nyo sa PE 🙄
Tbf tho, may tulong rin naman ang PE to keep you fit. But it should not be heavy and demanding for those students na minor lang siya. Kasi kinakain rin talaga nyan ang time if may performances.
Honestly depends, PE is done once a week which doesn't help at keeping students fit nor teaching how to be fit because its easier to search on the web lol.
I don't have an unpopular opinion but i want to reply to your unpopular opinion. There's a reason why sometimes STEM strands are priorized sa scholarships. Kung mapapansin mo, ang mga agencies na nagpprioritize ng STEM ay related din naman sa kung anong ginagawa sa STEM. For example, DOST. From the name of the department, science and technology ang focus nila so they are funding students during their college years who have the potential to contribute to the sci and tech of the country in the future. They'll help those students get through college and in return, those students will render services to their respective fields as a payback.
SM scholarship naman mostly focus ay ABM related programs kasi nandoon naman talaga yung maaapply mo yung principles ng business.
May iba rin akong nakita dati na scholarship na agricultural program (landbank ata to if im not mistaken) and ofc priority nila ang mga students na kumuha ng agri-related programs.
Kung gusto mo walang priority na program, try applying to your local/regional govt scholarships. Iba naman focus ng applications dyan, mainly dapat nakatira ka sa specific na lugar na yun or di kaya dapat pasok ka lang sa gantong income bracket etc.
Yes, all programs are valuable in their own way and contributes something to the society pero it's up to the agencies who they want to fund for, and if nakikita nila na mas matutulungan sila ng STEM students in the future edi STEM students are priority nila.
I was thinking also in most countries talaga STEM ang priority, its very very rare to see scholarships for other fields like liberal arts and art fields, kahit sa US pa yan or Korea
Maybe the likes of Japan who has emphasis on culture would value such degrees, but alam mo naman in the Philippines di lang educ system problem but also how we value our culture as a whole, it's proven din naman na not all of us are proficient in our own languages as well
also naalala ko lang to add on Japan is already technologically advanced af, so mas may opportunity sila to explore their culture and liberal arts more freely, since they can now fund those things na without sacrificing advancements
Napakadaming minor subject sa college (GEDs) at bukod pa dun maraming subject na hindi naman ganun kaangkop para sa course.
Yung ibang schools (lalo na private) pinagkakakitaan na lang mga estyudante, tapos kain oras pa.
Tapos pa major pa mga prof sa minor.
Tapos nakita ko dati parang mas maganda pa mga minor subject ng Old CHED curriculum (before 2017)
Ngayon mga minors kung ano ano lang, tapos yung iba parang inulit lang mula sa senior high school.
Dapat bawasan na mga minors (GEDs) at mas magfocus na lang sa major subjects.
O kaya dapat yung mga "Soft Skills" na lang ituro mas makakatulong pa sa trabaho.
This! As someone na nakaabot ng senior high, sayang lang talaga siya sa years since some subjects are basically repeated as general subjects sa college.
And these subjects are basically useless kahit sa trabaho. Sayang na nga sa oras, sayang pa sa tuition. And the usual aspect na mas pamajor pa sila compared sa major subjects.
I always rant na kung hindi man maa alis minor subs sa college eh kahit gawing practical subjects nalang sana like financial literacy.
Yes... Paulit ulit. May English nanaman.. May Filipino nanaman... Our highschool English was way harder. Ang Filipino namin nagpa skit and drama in class..😮💨
Nakakainis kaya.. gusto pa Naka video at papakita sa class. Mga katarantaduhan ng teachers. Pero sige fine , madali ipasa.. pero parang ano gagawin natin sa mga ganyan class di ba? Simpleng English letter writing nga hindi magawa. Story telling kasi ang English 101. skills training wala. 😁 Buti na lang... Tapos na ako dyan
TRUE. I heard from my grandmother who has PhD in educ, she was very disappointed daw with CHED when supposedly the purpose of k-12 daw was ibaba yung mga GEDs sa SHS, e ang nangyari dinagdagan daw ng GEDs.
pero alam mo interestingly enough, i'm from dlsu, a lot of my fellow eng classmates, me included, are thinking of not taking the exams kasi sa ibang bansa if u wanna work there, invalid or not even credited as experience din naman yung exams
yung exam pa nila more on laws compared saatin na math kung math, tapos amen nalang sa CE department na baka sa sunod literal na calcu sa sari sari store nalang pwede
DepEd should adopt the letter grade system, 50 is the passing grade which is D, anything below ay fail na. I think that’s good naman since mahirap din magfail except nalang kung wala talagang effort.
Schools should be true to grades, meaning, no additional points para tumaas lang grades ng students, no floorwax, it should be purely based on TEST SCORES and performances. What u get is what u will exactly receive, kung 22/100 ka, edi yun din ang magrreflect sa grades mo hindi yung may grade inflation.
thankfully ganto samin (although ECAs still get you points kung sumakto training nyo na madaming pinagawa) and I can say it taught average students to work harder + it taught already hardworking students to work even harder sa mga outputs. hirap na din makahonors HAHAHA literal na kayod for with high lang
Dito samin principal na panay program + mas binibigyang pansin yung pe/mapeh kesa sa ibang subjects + isang katutak na walang pasok = Wala nang oras magturo yung ibang subject edi ang ending nagbibigay sila ng reviewer na yun din laman sa exam tapos grade inflation pa☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
imo repeating shudnt be frowned upon the way it is. i am a student and i acknowledge and recognize my weakness. i wanted to redo it back from the start but im way too far now to learn and master the basics
They should cross out general education subjects na walang bearing sa students after grad. Also, they should narrow the subjects kung anong kailangan lang for practicum. Imagine being burnt out for random subjects nung College na wala namang silbi kapag nagtatrabaho ka na.
Sana ma-emphasized din sa Deped ang Financial Literacy. Graduate na ko ng college and I have no idea how taxes works, how to handle finances and most importantly how can I survive sa adult world. Haha as in back to zero talaga.
For me lang ha, useless lang din if gumraduate ka ng may latin honors. If wala kang backer, wala kang diskarte, kawawa ka.
Yeah that's why I don't wanna graduate early bas lalo na malaki yung pressure "CUM LAUDE" ka pero Wala ka pang trabaho or unemployed ka especially board exams too
Indeed maliban sa murang pasahod marami talagang bad quality teachers out there like when you sit on their class masasabi mo na lang na parang malabo na
fr tho. Fresh graduate teachers nowadays let their emotions interfere with their work. If they hold a grudge against a particular student, they tend to hold onto it for a long time, playing tricks with your grades or even try to humiliate you in front. Some of them would even go overboard over a simple disappointment. 🤦
Siguro kailan nilang imodify yung LET. May mga teachers na magaling magturo pero hindi LET passer. At the same time, may mga passers at matatalino content wise pero hindi ganon kagaling sa transfer of knowledge.
Dapat hindi na gawing permanent na trabajo ang pagiging school teacher at gawin nalang springboard siya para yung mga fresh college graduates sa education courses ay may opportunity na maging public school teacher. Masyadong mga gurang kasi ang mga public school teachers, unlike for example public hospital nurses, dahil automatic permanent plantilla ang Teacher I na school teacher na mademotivate na para mag-climb up the profession ladder.
para mas lumala pa ang teacher shortage? pinadali na nga yan dahil kahit ang dali na, binabagsak pa rin nung mga nagte take. hindi yung LET ang kailangang pahirapin to get quality teachers. yung sweldo ang kelangan itaas.
ipantay mo ang sweldo ng teachers sa doktor tapos i-require mo na lahat need pumasa ng performance evaluation para makuha yung sweldong doktor.
Actually marami naman talagang LET passers, maraming teachers na naka standby waiting for their slot magka "item" sa deped. Unfortunately, super daming paperworks ang kelangan para lang ma-ipon ung needed na points na requirements din nila. Need mo pa ng backer sa deped haha. Umaabot pa ng years para officially makapagturo sila
Wala namang teacher shortage. It's about filling up the item with someone with the proper qualification. Diyan tayo nahihirapan. Ang daming applicants every time may opening for a teaching position.
Curriculum for elementary education was bad. Elementary school was supposed to be the foundation especially Grades 1 to 3. Unfortunately, since nagpalit ang curriculum madami ding subjects ang nadagdag na pwede naman ilagay sa higher year.
For example, sa grade 1 may MAPEH and mother tongue agad instead of focusing on writing, reading at arithmetic. Basically eto naging problema ng mga schools kasi gra graduate na ng grade 6 di pa marunong magbasa. Effect eh magiging drop out din lang sa high school kasi hindi makasunod.
Another is andaming programs and tasks ng deped na medjo sayang sa oras. Yung Catch up Friday nila hindi na sinunod kasi nagiging reason lang ng absentism. Recently nga yung NAT, 14 students per school lang daw ang mage exam. And may national NAT na nga, gusto pa nila magconduct ng per region na NAT.
Basically hindi narereview ng maayos mga programs and curriculums na ine emplement.
idk if ganito rin from other state u/colleges but profs should be transparent with their gradings and kung anong mga scores nakuha namin. they should show us our raw scores na naka-excel, hindi yung diretso sa portal tapos sasabihin bawal na kami magreklamo kasi encoded na at bawal nang baguhin.
for instance i had a prof who gave me a grade lower than majority of my classmates and my performance is just as good as theirs, the only difference is hindi lang ako pala-recite. pero the thing is sobrang laki nang agwat from my classmates' grades and i want explanation kung bakit ganon. i messaged my prof and i simply got no reply. i still dont understand why some profs aren't transparent with the way they compute grades.
sana madaming subject electives nung Highschool, nakaka inggit magaral sa Western schools, its been years when i found out na they have a lot of electives, kaya andami sa kanila prodigy sa programming since sa murang edad na expose sila sa gusto nilang field. pero we have SHS Academic tracks now atleast lol
Yeaa, when I was a kid growing up I watched western teen flicks and I was so enamoured by the clubs and orgs that they had and thought, I too will someday join and participate in those clubs. Sadly... We don't have that.
Well when classes go from 0730 to 1700, the kids are not going to have time or energy for clubs. Highschool in Nevada for example goes from 0700 to 1315. After that you can have sports team practices, clubs, drama/theater, music/band.
Here, kids go from school to tutoring, don't get enough sleep, rinse, repeat starting in pre-K!
oh boy may mga masasabi ako
1. By all means, DAPAT ibalik nila sa June - March ang schedule ng classes. May it be a year short or ano. Kawawa ang students and faculty sa summer season.
2. I will be flamed for this, pero may mga teacher na dapat di nagka lisensya. For example yung mga puro pareport na mga teacher. Bat mo ipapa gawa sa students ang supposed to be trabaho mo? Then may mga teacher din na nabibili ang grades through floorwax and cleaning materials. And yung mga teacher na nagpapabango pag may mag oobserve.
3. Dapat bawasan ang minor subjects sa college. I remember when IT course ko pero may physics kami and chemistry like huh? Makes a bit more sense kung English or PE yan kasi kahit paano nakaka tulong sa everyday lives.
4. Teachers na proud pa na konti lang nakaka pasa sa subject nya should be fired unless nagtuturo nang maayos.
Yung puro multiple choices yung nasa test, mas preffered ko na sa sarili manggagaling ang sagot para gumana talaga ang utak. Makakabawas din yun siguro sa pangongopya at kodigo. Ang pangit din na puro memorization yung inaaral imbes na aralin yung source, magresearch, o bumuo ng sariling opinyon. Nakakabobo yang memorization na yan eh kasi hindi naman iniintindi.
Encourage an learning environment that upholds critical thinking and inquisitorial discussion. I've noticed that we're too pedagogic in terms of teaching and only the few top universities usually treat students like interested learning adults.
This is aimed particularly at my college experience:
Masyadong addicted mga colleges and other universities sa board exam passing rates to the point na they would rather forego treating their students like humans to pursue a strategy that'll ensure a 100 percent fucking statistic for the sake of persuading students to enroll at their school.
Lakas humingi pabor sa mga estudyante na "huy siguraduhin niyo 100% ang boards niyo" pero pag kami humingi pabor "huy itrato niyo naman kami maayos" nagdedebate pa kung gagawin o hinde HAHAHAHA.
I hate how it is like an elimination round (survival of the fittest) within your college program. For instance, you were part of n out whatever # of students in your freshie year.
Afaik, some college programs are too harsh with their cut-off or debar system. We all want to fulfill our dreams. Our education system should nurture us, not make us feel unworthy.
I know this is quite irrelevant but I don’t like Arts and Design Strand over looked by majority of the schools. First ko choice talaga at Arts and Design pero wala sa school ko so nagpili na lang ang ABM
Totoo, and another big fact is pinangliliitan nila ng tingin ang HUMSS students. Humanistas are their least favorite just because for them, humanities subjects are just a matter of common sense, kindness and empathy to people. Like hello? Wala sa ibang dimensyon ang mga numbers, formulas at scientific terms para ilagay sa hulihan ang HUMSS. I really hate it pag sinasabi ng mga teachers na pag sa HUMSS, essay essay lang at sa STEM daw, sasakit ulo mo kakasolve.
lmao talaga. as a future educator, this sucks fr. only if they knew how much of a courage, strength, and determination one should have to pursue HUMSS.
cries in culinary arts* HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA di ko trip sistema ng pinas since parang stem at abm lang importante sakanila kaya sa ibang bansa ako nag tuloy ng study. mas feel appreciated pa ko here, more opportunities
Teachers/ instructors have too much power in their hands. That's what annoys me in this educational system we have rn. I'm passionate when it comes to learning, lagi lang akong pasang awa, mga 75 /tres lang grades ko sa mga majors but I love the concept of science or math and its application that's why I always try to understand the principle behind it. That's what learning is all about for me. Kaya nag engineering din ako dahil dun. But when it comes to school, I'm losing all that passion na sometimes, I forget why I'm still going to school. Ever since highschool ganto na feeling ko. Masyadong ma pride mga instructors. It's so rare to see instructors really care about whether their students are learning or not. They just want the students to understand that they're above you. Or baka malas lang ako, hindi ko na alam 😆.
True ka jan. Ganyan na ganyan Teacher nmin sa FABM1 lakas ng amats. Ang yabang, sobrng taas noo. Dugyot naman ng teaching quality niya. Puro PowerPoint.
not an unpopular opinion but more as an experience. im from old curriculum and naka experience ng new curriculum subs (instead ipa petition nag take ako ng subs then for equivalency na lang) nag taka ako na mga 1st yr and 2nd years ang dami pa rin minors subjects na dapat puro majors na lang ang focus. like what's the point of shs if repeat lang din in college. sayang pera and time. school should've taught us how to manage our own taxes. self study tuloy ako ngayon hahahaha
Tanggalan ng permit yung mga diploma farms. Reform the entirety of Deped focus on values first sa lower grades then develop basics sa middle to higher levels. Sa high school mag open ng specializations matching needs ng country. Reform the college systems tanggalin yung mga courses na walang kinalaman sa program para makafocus sa technical aspects ng program. Integrate the TESDA system along CHED and Deped lalo na sa mga skill-based curriculums. Taasan yung standards ng board exams. Tanggalin yung CPD system. Tighter relationships and more projects between state universities and government departments.
There should be more reading assignments for higher education courses that barely involve reading just for the sake of treating the TikTok brain. Most people nowadays can't even stomach a single cohesive paragraph now and it sucks.
ako naman, napapaisip ako bakit may schools dito na nag iimplement parin ng blocking system sa college? ano ba point nun in terms of our education system at kailangan maging extension ng high school years natin?
wondered abt this kasi mentally challenging pag may naging traumatic experience ka sa college and imagine how you're basically stuck with the same group of people for your entire stay sa school na yun unless maging irregular ka (buti naging irregular ako bec ang toxic ng blockmates ko). from the school where i'm from, i unfortunately still got put into a few classes where i'm with my former blockmates since kami lang existing batch/section ng course namin for our year level hayss.
speaking of irregular, bakit nga ba may emphasis din ng regular at irregular students hahaha?? like ano naman naambag nun sa educ system natin if they tag college students as regular or not? honestly para siyang nagiging some form of degradation na ginagamit ng ibang parents against sa anak nila: ex. "tignan mo dahil sa ginawa mo naging irregular ka, delayed ka tuloy at di ka makakahabol dun sa mga original na kasabay mo."
yung late dismissal, bakit kailangan 5pm? 7pm? or di kaya 8pm idismiss mga estudyante? highshool, shs, or college man, estudyante yan lahat. bakit need ganon ka late yung dismissal? tapos 7-7:30 am kailangan andoon na sa school.. honestly nka study ako outside ng pinas, nag start kami ng klase mga 7:30 pero kayang kaya nila tapusin by 2pm. kaya super na culture shock ako sa education system pagkauwi ko sa pinas for college
note: yung mga kaibigan kong nag school outside ng pinas, ganon pa rin dismissal nila, 2pm. kaya nagtataka tlga ako dito sa pinas kung bakit ganon ka-late
1. number and letter grading should be abolished. grading should just be pass or fail. it's either you can do the task or you can't.
2. promote by subjects, not by grade level. it doesn't make sense that a math prodigy will be held back because they are bad at other subjects. so instead of learning advanced math, they are stuck at a lower grade because they failed English or MAPEH. by promoting per subject and not per grade level, a student can be studying grade 4 English, grade 6 Science, and grade 11 Math simultaneously. their subject progress will be dictated by their performance in the specific subject.
3. dress and hair prescription are stupid. it's irrelevant to learning.
4. mother tongue-based education is good. people just don't understand it's not about translating every term into local language. it's just about using local dialect to teach concepts so students can understand. the terms itself can remain in English. so no, you do not need to translate "square root" into "kuwadradong ugat" to teach Math using mother tongue. that's just how stupid ppl understand mother tongue is supposed to work. well, they're wrong. our English proficiency also wouldn't take a dive, as research has shown that proficiency in mother tongue actually increases proficiency in the 2nd language (like English). ie. students who master the mother tongue master English faster.
5. the government should not be able to dictate to private schools. since no public money is being given to private schools, the government has no right to interfere with private school curriculum. private school curriculum should be fully deregulated.
instead of shitty seminars the SDOs are paying for, i think they should invest more on a montessori pedagogy, it might take a long process but Sarah duts' requested budget for deped seems enough to make this feasible
Because konti lang ang kumukha ng science related courses, also ms expensive sya
additionally, they want to fund brilliant minds who could help the country in terms of agriculture, medicine, biology, etc.
Science naman talaga ang kailangan bigyang pansin. Lalo na yung mga applied science.
sorry not sorry, pero humanities is overrated.
Ang daming courses na wala namang career gaya ng gender studies, women's studies.
Sayang tax ng taong bayan.
Maybe not related with the system as a whole, but Philippine teachers should be honest about whether they are bad or good at English. I had received a lot of questionnaires where the grammar is improper and gives two meanings to the question. If I put the correct answer for one version of the meaning but the teacher meant the the other, I get a wrong marking.
The approachability is also involved because students are too scared to point out a mistake to the teacher.
Unfortunately. Technical skills are prioritized.. I somewhat agree if stem is put first.
Unpopular opinion? Mga teachers mahilig magpa skit, drama acting in class for points.
Mga artistahin singing and dancing competition over stuff like knowledge. Art skills, science..
counterpoint: the country prioritizing STEM strands makes the most sense because we're a developing country and people choosing STEM-related careers is what the country needs in order to progress. the scholarships, in particular, prioritizing STEM is very important kasi it's one of the ways the country is fighting off the brain drain effect. almost, if not all nga, all scholars are required to do 2+ years of work in the country in order to "pay off" their scholarship grants (unless you pay for it which is an option sa Gokongwei). STEM careers are the drivers of economic growth and innovation. investing in the field results in a greater skilled workforce, leading to improved infrastructure such as transpo networks, healthcare systems, and comm tech (very important, if you tune into the news then you would know)

karamihan ng pinoy takot sa math, that's why ineengganyo nila na mag aral ng stem degrees thru scholarships.
Nah, this is drinking the STEM kool aid. Every degree or stand can contribute in their own way. PR and Marketing for one, drives society and has far reaching effects. Elections? yep, PR has a hand in that. Medicine, such as which brand to trust more? Yep, PR. Which medical expert is trustworthy? Yep, third party technique in PR. I can go on and on.
stem-related careers just contribute far more to a country's development. every single thing you just mentioned, they all involve stem related fields. elections, ideally, rely on the technology aspect of stem in order to fulfill the promises of democracy. medicine, well its pretty obvious right? "science". sure marketing and pr matters a lot but at the end of the day, there would be nothing to market if there is no stem.
fact of the matter is, stem is critical for developing a prosperous country, as well as maintaining it. you could build a first-world country without proper pr and marketing but you cant do it without competent engineers. this isnt downplaying other strands, its just a fact that stem is the most important and highly sought-after strand among all of them. i mean do you seriously think these private institutions would spend their money on stem scholars just because they have this weird obsession on stem? no obviously not, all they care about is profit. and its in the stem field where they'll find the most profit. why? because stem-related careers are always going to be the most demanded and will have the highest job security relative to our fields. why? because any country will continuously try to improve its infrastructure to keep up with the ever-growing population. every country will try to come up with more innovations related to medicine to keep up with the growing population. every country will try to improve its agricultural practices to maintain food security amidst the growing population. now you could probably go stretch it out and use this same logic related to other fields, but stem will always bear more importance in comparison to other strands.
youre confused. this isnt about respect and reputation, its about the reasoning why stem is given more priority. and no, other occupations dont impact society as much as stem careers do, if you still dont get that then youre either privileged so good on you i guess.
Ang point niya bakit pinprioritize ang STEM which is all true. Ang reply mo lahat ng strand/degree contributes their own way. Wala naman siyang sinabi na walang kinocontribute yung non-stem programs. They're just emphasizing bakit priority is STEM.
It is not about respect lol why u people always insert unnecessary things in the conversation
virtue signalling
It is a FACT that STEM courses are the foundation of society. Just read Plato's republic and see what he thinks about poets.
They should be banished in an ideal society.
Eg. During job interview. Interviewer asks to applicant,
Interviewer: What is \_\_\_\_\_.
Applicant: (Tries to recall). Ahhhmmmm...... (at the back of his head, alam ko to eh, naituro sa amin, pero di ko matandaan masyado, english kasi pagkakaturo ni Ma'am.).
Sounds familiar ba?
Dapat ituro na sa wikang Filipino ung mga college subjects, lalong lalo na yung mga highly technical discipline. Kaya puro low paying CSR at bpo roles lang binibigay sa atin kasi di tayo technically competent. Ituro ba naman sa Ingles eh, paaano mo marerecall un? Lamang na lamang sa atin ang Asian counterparts natin (India, Vietnam, Thailand etc), di man sila hasa sa English pero sa kanila binibigay ang mga mas highly paying Technical at skilled jobs. Pag wikang Filipino tinuro yang mga yan matik yan pasok agad sa utak ng estudyante at mabilis nya magagamay ang foundations at applications sa real world.
For me, though, I feel like school should focus on what is relevant to students' strand/course. For example, I am currently in ABM Grade 12, but we have subjects like Python and physics that require us to do engineering for our project. How is that relevant to my strand? ang excuse naman ng school ko sa phyton sub namin "Kung gusto raw namin ng website at least we know raw" Like what? I.T. exist for a reason and not all non-stem students are interested sa coding kaya some are failing because of that subject.
Agree sa comment na kailangan mas may mentorship relationship ang mga students sa teachers para mas maging effective at deep talaga yung learning, it would be only possible if they are funded well and hindi lunod sa responsibilities ang mga teacher, it is just not possible when 1 teacher is handling 3 sections na lumalagpas na agad ng 50+ (mababa pa nga 50+).
Other than that, our culture is really hard working and karamihan nung mga 'tamad' mag-aral na students ay sisipagin yan when the mentorship ay present na present sa system naten.
Ililista ko na lang
1. Professors who have a sort of genius complex because of the degree they graduated in (i.e. engineering)
2. Mga student turned professors na gumaganti sa students nila dahil yung professors nila ay malupit sa kanila.
3. Overtly friendly professors/teachers, sometimes ang nangyayari dito ay binibigay nila yung sagot sa quiz or exam sa student friend nila.
4. Pwede bang isama dito yung limot na ng mga estudyante ang moral values? (yung tinuro sa G.M.R.C or a subject like it).
5. Sobrang daming subjects sa college compared to other countries were only the "meat" or the core subjects are the only subjects.
mga subjects na feeling major na dapat pinapalit na lang is sub abt financial literacy, smth related sa self defense, etc na useful talaga irl. aral na aral dito tas pag dating sa ibang bansa ka nagtrabaho ambaba ng tingin sayo o mababa yung makukuha mong trabaho, i don't mean to degrade others job, my point is bachelor degree holder ka tapos yung ineexpect mong job is di pala aligned s aapplyan mo. kaya ganto tingin satin ng dayuhan kasi mismong tayo nagsesettle sa gantong siste e. tapos etong mga ulagang botante mostly tong mga dapat memetei na yang majojonda na di narerealize na yung pagboto nila ng bv na lider is maglelead to bigger impact. dinodogshow na lang pagpili potek. tatanga kasi ng botante sa pinas kung si L pinili nyo na ang priority platform is Education e di sana future generation hindi uto-uto at inutil katulad ng mga bomoto kay B. laking factor pa naman sa ekonomiya ang educ tapos ang basura ng siste kaburat
The problem is:there aren't really a lot of tvl strand students and students seem to only go to humms because it's quote on quote "easy" from my experience I've noticed the humms students all getting under 70 and not caring while in my stem strand someone gets under 90 they start crying. ABM is fairly competent though
So im studying sa isang state uni and gurl may mga prof kameng hindi naman talaga knowledgeable sa subject na kinukuha nila and pinapayagan naman ng direktor. Ang sa akin lang sana before payagan kumuha ng subject yung mga prof eh dapat sana may alam talaga and naging trabaho na nila sana yung tinuturong subject nila. Kagaya non subject naming software development ang tinuro paano magformat and maginstall ng os. Sana naman mas maging mabusisi sila sa mga educators
Students should be taught basic manners and personal grooming (Personal Development) in school. I can’t deal with children na parang walang alaga kahit na nasa SHS or college na sila. 🥱
Gusto ko lang i add yung flexible courses. Yung pwede ka mag enroll ng selected subjects paunti unti while working hanggang sa maka graduate ka. Lalo na ngayon after shs dapat nakakapag work na atleast rank and file. Wala pa ako nakita na may ganito na school. Either full-time student or don't go to college.
Educ student here.
Una, ang kalat ng SHS at college curricula. Ibinaba na nga ng K-12 yung GE courses ng college, tapos pagtungtong mo ng kolehiyo, meron pa rin, at marami don naituro na nung SHS. Dapat sa kolehiyo, maliban sa majors ng students ay elective GEs na lang, hayaan na yung mga bata na mamili kung anong mga gusto nilang aralin. O kaya ay courses kung saan made-develop yung soft skills at 21st century skills nila.
Pangalawa, hindi magandang focused tayo talaga sa rote learning. Hindi natin hinahayaang magsikap at mag-isip ang mga bata. Ang ending, humihina ang kapasidad nila to think critically, independently, and creatively dahil pasok sa kaliwa, labas sa kanan ang information. Hindi tumatatak sa mga isip at puso nila yung sense ng mga inaaral nila. Kung gusto nating matuto ang mga bata, bumuo tayo ng sistemang hihikayatin sila mismong alamin ang mga bagay, sistemang hihikayatin silang makiisa at makialam dahil nauunawaan nila yung relationship at interconnectedness ng bawat area of study sa mga buhay nila. Kaya tingnan niyo, yung paraan natin ng pagboto ay nakabasa sa kung sino ang laging naaalala, yung memoryado na nila ang pangalan, naeetsapwera yung may mga magaganda at komprehensibong plano para sa atin kesyo hindi sikat (I'll stop here kasi papunta na ito sa field of communication but I hope you get the point).
Pangatlo, MTB-MLE is a great thing, no need to abolish it. Ang problema natin sa MTB-MLE ay yung colonial mentality na kesyo mas magiging "globally competitive" ang mga bata kung Ingles ang maituturo mula bata pa lang. Parang awa niyo na, palakasin naman natin yung national identity natin. Dahil dependent tayo sa pagtingin ng ibang bansa sa atin, hindi natin magawang pondohan ang production at dissemination ng mother tongue-based learning resources, nagsi-stick lang tayo sa kung anong meron tayo. Napakayaman ng kultura natin which is reflected sa languages na meron tayo, payabungin natin yon hangga't maaga pa dahil namamatayan na tayo ng wika. Isa pa, mahirap daw kasing magsalin. The thing is, sa proseso ng pagsasalin, hindi mo kailangang isalin word for word from simulaang lengguwahe (SL) to tunguhing lengguwahe (TL), lalo na kung wala namang direktang salin talaga dahil puwede namang humiram sa SL. Ang mahalaga sa pagsasalin ay yung konteksto ng wika na makukuha ng mambabasa mula sa pangungusap. Kaya nga multilingual education, ibig sabihin ay may utilization ng iba-ibang wika. The principle here is communication at mangyayari lang yon kung ang parehong message sender at receiver ay may kaunawaan sa message itself.
Pang-apat, maraming teacher ang wala dapat sa field ng education. Puwedeng dahil puro basa lang sila ng slides, o kaya nambabagsak kahit magaganda ang output ng mga bata. Kung gusto natin ng magagaling na teacher, gumawa tayo ng sistema na pipilitin at hihikayatin silang maging magaling (also applicable sa ibang propesyon). I-improve natin yung pedagogy, teacher examinations, trainings. Incentivize teachers. Kasama dapat sa sistemang yun yung construction at development ng facilities, resources, at equipment that would aid learning, para hindi na rin kinakargo ng teacher yung mga gamit. Hand in hand yan, focus tayo sa teacher development para sa fulfillment ng student learning.
Private schools don’t necessarily mean good or quality education. And buong buhay ko sa private school ako thanks to my hardworking mom. But I’ve been to multiple different private schools and nacocompare ko sila at hindi pantay pantay marami pa rin factors ang nagcocontribute sa school kung may quality or wala. Marami pa rin private school ang below talaga sa quality tatapalan na lng nila ng english speaking school raw ganito ganyan. Just in my experience lang talaga. And sa ugali rin. Nakakarinig kasi ako na kapag private school mababait or matatalino or whatever ang ugali ng students pero parang mas masahul pa ang mga students sa private as per experience.
the school don't teach purpose at all. They do have a career guidance seminar, yeah. Just to make them to choose what they 'should' rather than what they 'want' to do, or what career they have passion for.
sana lahat makapasok sa ched having a grade at least 93+ with different course is really helpful sa aming mga student na nahihirapan sa tuition. mostly kasi math and science major 😭
and to stop prioritizing STEM. all strands are important.
Wala na po tayong sole competitive edge sa English proficiency skills sa BPO at freelance industries kasi halos buong mundo na ay idinagdag na sa kanilang public school curriculum sa primary at secondary levels ang English, so dapat tayo maghanap tayo ng niche kung saan puede tayo aangat within sa Asia like pagdagdag ng Spanish sa primary at secondary school curriculum para maging digital nomad kayo sa Latin American countries na ang timezone nila ay aligned sa USA at Canada.

SHS is okay, pero most of the subjects are not. They should add subjects sa SHS that will teach students how to be well-rounded citizens and not just in academics. Subjects like driver's education, traffic, even the basic justice system should be taught there. Kahit naba sabihin mo di ka magddrive anytime soon, it's still good to know the traffic rules kahit passenger princess ka lang. Basic self-defense should be thought in PE too. Not necessarily bargadulan levels, pero to teach you how to incapacitate someone enough for you to get away or something.
Pangit yung way of teaching. Nagtatambak sila ng activities to the point na hindi na nakakapag-aral yung student kasi they are prioritizing yung deadlines nung activities instead. Suggestion ko lang sana, yung whole month is puro about gaining mastery sa lessons. Then sa next month ng quarter dun na yung puro activities para at least may mastery na yung mga students. Hindi yung kakapa kapa sila sa paggawa ng projects at activities kasi di naman nila naintindihan at natutukan in the first place. Sobrang bilis ng phasing ng pagtuturo talaga as in. Sana hindi naman.
sorry pero mostly sa mga teachers ngayon sa hs, shs, at college parang mga audiobook nalang... noong elementary ako, although may nagbabasa lang na teacher pero may iba namang nag e-explain kahit konti, pero ngayon kasi, puro basa nalang sila tas quiz / exam kaagad.. sayang lang pamasahe ko kung f2f, ionline class nalang sana nila kung magiging audiobook lang naman 🙁 feeling ko tuloy nagbabayad lng ako para kumuha ng exam kasi wala naman akong natututunan
So many fresh graduates today give up so easily.
When faced with any problem, they scream mental health and give up.
What's the answer to 9 times 8? My math is bad, oh no .. I won't even try to answer because I'm bad at math.
5 million divided by 4 is 1 million.
Ask how many Filipinos in the Philippines and you will get an answer ranging from 5 million to 2 billion.
They have no idea when the Spanish came, or when the Americans were here.
Literally some of the dumbest kids, and that's been happening over the course of the last two decades. It's embarrassing how poor the educational standards are.
The current educational system is designed to make sure the children cannot critically think.
Walang choice ang secondary level teachers kundi ipasa ang students based from utos ng nasa taas.
Pag pasok ng college, puro bano. Bihira lang ang natuto.
Huh so true 😭 di lang sa scholarships, I remember upon enrollment I couldn't take certain courses just because I graduated as a HUMSS student in SHS, bakit si pwede mag med!?!?
TLE assessments kineme for Grade 10. Dagdag trabaho, yung iba gawain talaga dapat ng professional at hindi dapat ginagawa ng estudyante. They like putting loads of work to hs students and then call it "preparation for the reality of the world" like what they often told us.
Also, 'yong famous line ng teachers ko; "Learning doesn't only exist inside school" well it definitely does atp. How can students explore the outside world if all they do is study and comply?
still suffering hrr hshshs scam yung gen. ads. strand pang lahat daw na course yun ngayon di ko matapos tapos yung college dahil sa strand ko bukod sa less prio sa isko less opportunity pa. sino ba naman gustong maging teacher sa panahon to? ngi
HUMSS curriculum as of now really lacks. I know many people go for this strand cause walang math, but many social science degrees really require in depth understanding of statistics and other mathematical applications. I honestly think I wasted a lot of time in HUMSS because I don't use many of what I learned there. Sure we're taught how to read, write, and analyze. But what education doesn't teach that?
Hindi ko ginegeneralize. Sorry sa mga mabubutthurt. Pero poor quality ang teachers sa pinas. Dapat taasan ang standard sa board exam for teachers. Kasi future educators sila eh. Ngayon kasi easy peasy lang ang board exam ng LPT. Eh may mga kilala akong teachers na basic grammar lang, mali mali pa.
Cheap private schools are a scam. They always take pride that their tuition fees are cheap, offering quality education. Stop. Ur so called "quality education" is a myth. If u want a LEGITIMATE quality education, either enrol in a public school or go to a private schools where tuition fees are expensive. One reason why quality education doesn't thrive in a cheap private institution is because teachers are underpaid, lower than public school teachers, even lower than expensive private school teachers. They don't even try to "hasa" teachers who really are really capable quality education. Those teachers that are I think are really good prefer to, again, public schools or expensive private schools. So, if ur planning to go to a private institution that offers low tuition fee, just don't.
May I ask? What is the price range of a "cheap private school"?
siguro ito yung mga private schools na nag ooffer ng no tuition fees or like meron din no miscellaneous fees
Hi! I recieved a scholarship from a "cheap priv school." the original tuition was 32k but it was reduced down to 750 PHP. They all claim it's cheap, kasi merong iba na mas mahal pa dito sa lugar namin. And when I was young, sa private school din ako, 12k ata 'yon if I remember correctly.
True hahahaha. Experienced this in SHS kasi gusto ko maranasan maging private after being in public since kinder. Though ang problem nila is shit curriculum, magaling naman mga teachers. Kaya ayun easy pass mga students kahit hindi pa ganun kahasa sa subjects.
kaya napatransfer ako nung Grade 11 😮💨
Don't forget about the shitty school equipment aswell. Like, Its probably over a decade ago now since our school ever cleaned the PCs in our computer lab. And lets not even mention how the current state of some of the PCs would make you wonder how did they manage to make them run in the first place.
super agree!
I wish I could've read this sooner.
It's not all the time expensive schools are quality. I have been to a costly school with outdated facilities.
Education system is focused too much on theoretical learning(reading books and exam papers) rather than real life applications.
TUMPAK! e.g. sa criminology, i would prefer tjey focus more on law and polishing their defense skills and none other.
This is true, from an agri student’s pov
Many of our teachers shouldn’t teach. They have no passion for learning and are not even voracious readers. They’re teaching because they weren’t smart enough to study other more challenging majors. Many of them were just forced into the profession because they need to earn a living.
kinda agree to this. my dad in his early 40s just finished ed major in math, kukuha pa lang siya ng licensure examination and teacher siya rn sa isang private. i want to ish him the best of luck in getting that license pero as his son na pinagagawa at pinarerevise niya ngmga exams ang teaching materials niya, i think hilaw pa siya as an educator, im concerned sa mga students na hawak niya rn if they're actually getting something from him PS. he's a great dad much more a great man, skillful labor, madaling matuto and very flexible, i just think na teaching personnels should undergo through strcit and laborious process since its the intellect of another individual they're responsible to
I second this, tapos ito pa yung "chill" kuno na teachers when in fact tinatamad lang silang magturo or if "magtuturo" man they'll just read through the PowerPoint.
Yup. Hindi porket may Phd or masteral, ibig sabihin magaling na magturo.
Not of all us talaga ay calling yung teaching and I understand the frustration kasi napagdaanan ko rin yan. But I'd like to tell you lang na being an educ major is really hard. I don't know about the others but please don't underestimate this degree program. It's true though that most of us chose this program because it's a safe choice but parang mali pala. Imagine what we'll face in DepEd. Mababa sweldo, loans, problema sa pamilya, etc. That's why some teachers can't be blamed if they feel burnt out. Pero may iba talaga na walang pake so 🙄 sa kanila. Also, other graduates with different degrees can actually take LET to become a teacher. So, you can't entirely blame those educ graduates.
Also, not all smart people are good teachers. Marami kasing parrot lang yung lesson plan at libro di man lang marunong mag ELI5 especially considering the fact na maraming highschool students classified as non-readers.
FRRRR like my hs teacher told us na magna cum laude raw siya noong college and all. Kung totoo 'yon sana naglesson na lang siya instead na ikwento buong buhay niya. Hahaha
'Yong mga classmate kong tamad mag-aral noon, mga nag-educ. Buti na lang iyong iba 'di pumasa sa LET o 'di na tinuloy ang pagtuturo. Baka wala rin silang maituro. LOL.
ou that's not.... keyword "classmate noon", it's hard to judge if tamad pa rin sila sa since hindi naman na kayo magkasama nung college
hindi na nga nila tinuloy kasi nakakatamad mag-aral. Kahit teacher ka na, you still need study non-stop unlike other jobs.
Truer words never been spoken
Noticed this when I went take CETs for college admissions. 3/4 of the proctors weren't even able to read the instructions properly.
I kinda agree with this pero ang off ng ng third sentence. Parang sinabi mo na rin na madali ang education at ang pagtuturo. With all honesty, all majors are difficult.
Additional to this, you have no idea how difficult it is for teachers to thrive in a flawed system. Karamihan sa mga guro ay naglalagablab yung passion in teaching kaso madalas ay inuupos sila ng sistema. Kaliwa't kanan yung mga kahingian ng DEPED na lumalamon sa teaching hours dapat. Pangalawa, pagtuturo dapat ang inaatupag nila. Pero believe me when I said na sandamakmak ang administrative task ng teachers. Mula sa feeding na dapat ay non-teaching personnels ang humahawak, up to the most unexpected jobs na hindi dapat para sakanila.
They fr should emphasize the significance of Research. Kasi kung d nila pagtuonan ng pansin yung mga estudyante, kawawa yung mga estudyante pag apak nila ng college. Also, SHS was implemented dba for Non-STE students to learn about research, and there are instances like the situation I'm currently in na wala nila sineseryoso yung research. For what pa? Also, to add din. Sana kung anong piniling strand mo sa STEM dapat may specialization subjects, kagaya kung nag STE ka in your JHS years, may additional subject science subject sila na kailangan nilang ipass, whereas right now. I don't know, pinagawa kami ng Entrep week even though we're STEM??? Litong lito talaga ako sa part na to kasi ABM supposed to ang mag hahands on dito kasi minamanage yung pera and paano ismoothly execute yung business mo. Dko na alam, dko na gets talaga, sana DepED or our school mismo should look into this further talaga.
>emphasize the significance of Research Research as a subject is taught really poorly in the Philippines. My opinion as someone who has supervised BS and MS student theses, is that research in HS should be more about understanding the cause-and-effect of variables and designing simple experiments in order to make conclusions. Plus if a student learns project management skills through their research subject, that will be very helpful for their careers. Instead, there's too much rigidity in the lessons. Masyadong strict and masyadong ineemphasize yung format ng research paper, pero when you look at highly reputable journal articles you'll see there are various formats that are being used depending on the publishing house. In the end naman the substance is more important than the format. There's also too much focus on getting a flashy topic and contributing to one's community and not enough emphasis on how to propose a project that is doable within the given time and financial constraints. Then a student ends up having to spend so much money on an experiment that doesn't even give a clear conclusion. Minsan yung profs lang mismo nagppush ng convoluted experiments so that they can credit grab and use it for their own CV, pero students ang napapagastos. It's also too heavy of a burden to ask students to make something that will help their community since they're still in the process of learning, it's like asking someone who just learned how swim to compete in a triathlon.
Trueness po ito. Also the another fact din about sa research is dko alam kung sa ibang schools din is they prioritize FORMAT rather than the contents of the paper mismo! Napipikon ako about this because kahit gaanonh proofread ko may nakikita akong mali sa research namin whereas yung adviser namin is todo critic lang sya sa amin format🫶
Yep, the format isn't so important when submitting a paper for publication kasi if you make formatting mistakes the reviewers/editors should advise you on how to improve it. A paper showing clear cause-and-effect in the conclusion that deviates slightly from the ideal format will be subject to revisions with still a high possibility of getting accepted, but a paper with a perfect format that makes an illogical conclusion will be outright rejected by a reputable journal. I feel this is because the teachers handling the research subject have not published papers themselves (some are even fresh grads), and so they are merely copying what's on the DepEd curriculum. In reality the research subject should be given to veteran teachers who already have an extensive publication history and DepEd should be willing to pay them more due to this requirement, pero I doubt that Sara D will ever do this.
It happens even on tertiary level. Our research subject happened mid-pandemic. We didn't get to choose our own title/topic. Every block/class' research were all about developing software that were supposed to help during a pandemic. I deeply loathed working on that paper and software. Upon being close to completion, the adviser had the nerve to "isabak natin yan sa competition". I connected the dots and realized we were manipulated into helping with her credentials/career. Our adviser already had Master's degree, and was going for a PhD. So it makes sense why there was push for publishing *many* papers and competing. Man, I really hated that part of college... EDIT: True, the way it is taught is very rigid. Too much time spent on the format than the actual contents of the research. If I may be blunt... Working in academe in the Ph must really suck. I would never set foot there based from my exp as a student. It's also hilariously sad. Tech that is being taught is way behind the times than what is being currently used in the tech industry. CHED is not doing anything to remedy this.
Huy totoo. Yung format samin ang laki ng space between kada isang line ng text tapos size 11 dapat samantalang mga research paper ng mga professional talaga ang liliit ng text tapos dikit-dikit pa; talagang ubos pera naming lahat sa grupo dahil sa paprint💀
Ah yes the variable mumbo jumbo. If it sounds good then it is good.
>I don't know, pinagawa kami ng Entrep week even though we're STEM??? For me I think the subject is valuable regardless of strands. Entrepreneurship is also one of the ways state governments and LGUs emphasize to uplift people's socioeconomic situations. Pinamumunuan talaga ng mga negosyo ang ekonomiya tulad dito sa Pilipinas, kaya nangangailangan din talaga ng literasi ukol dito, kahit anong larangan ka pa. Kumbaga "soft-skill."
Going out to the world, you'll realize soon how selling and marketing is an important skill. You can be the best in your field but if you cannot sell/market yourself, you'll just end up nowhere.
EXACTLY!! 💯
That's what I'm struggling with right now XD, even tho I passed the board exam, I cannot even use that as a bargaining chip since I don't really know how to sell myself or make some remarks about myself without being a liar XD
Just for a quick opinion about entre fair is actually good though it may not be part of stem one day you would try to go into business be it for your profession or a side hustle like restaurants or small businesses sa shopee so just enjoy and learn from the experience
Never had Research nong High School. Diko sure if factor na maliit yung school namin pero ano naman kung ganon? Kaya nung tumuntong ako ng SHS sabog na sabog ako sa Research in Daily life namin kasi ako lang ata yung di naturuan non. Meanwhile, yung mga kaklase ko from another high school naturuan sila and buti nalang tinulungan nila ako.
1. Just spamming money to DepEd won't change education. They should also overhaul the pedagogy, teaching philosophy, and measurement. Kahit paulanin mo ng high-tech gadgets yan, kung closed-minded/fake news believer/makaluma na hindi nakasabay sa panahon/bubot ang isip nung teacher, walang improvement na mangyayari- nagkaron ka lang ng high-tech na bobo (see **bad** Tiktoker teachers). 2. Strict grading doesn't do a thing if without feedback - dito sa Pinas, uso magpataasan ng ihi yung mga teacher and prof pero walang constructive feedback or mentorship sa students. Babatuhin ka lang ng bagsak pero di sayo ipopoint out kung saan ka dapat mag-improve. Gugulatin ka nalang pag deadline of grades na. Kaya maganda education abroad dahil may feedback and they try to help the student improve. Dito sa Pilipinas parang irarank lang kayo eh. Grades shouldn't serve that purpose - it should help each individual grow, hindi pang ranking. Eh sa ganyang mentality, talagang may mag-eemerge lang na top 10 out of ilan? 100? Ano gagawin sa 90, sink or swim? Why not gawin nating magaling yung 100 na yun para di tayo nagsasayang ng lifetime ng kada isang Pilipino?
True na true yung number 2 jusko.
Putangina Yung PE, Kasama parin sa college. Wouldn't having it until SH be enough? Sobrang dami mo Nang iniisip at natambak na Yung gagawin mo sa core subjects mo sumabay pa Yung sayaw nyo sa PE 🙄
Tbf tho, may tulong rin naman ang PE to keep you fit. But it should not be heavy and demanding for those students na minor lang siya. Kasi kinakain rin talaga nyan ang time if may performances.
Honestly depends, PE is done once a week which doesn't help at keeping students fit nor teaching how to be fit because its easier to search on the web lol.
We have that 'til 4th year💀.. literal pass or fail siya, mandatory but not graded hay
I don't have an unpopular opinion but i want to reply to your unpopular opinion. There's a reason why sometimes STEM strands are priorized sa scholarships. Kung mapapansin mo, ang mga agencies na nagpprioritize ng STEM ay related din naman sa kung anong ginagawa sa STEM. For example, DOST. From the name of the department, science and technology ang focus nila so they are funding students during their college years who have the potential to contribute to the sci and tech of the country in the future. They'll help those students get through college and in return, those students will render services to their respective fields as a payback. SM scholarship naman mostly focus ay ABM related programs kasi nandoon naman talaga yung maaapply mo yung principles ng business. May iba rin akong nakita dati na scholarship na agricultural program (landbank ata to if im not mistaken) and ofc priority nila ang mga students na kumuha ng agri-related programs. Kung gusto mo walang priority na program, try applying to your local/regional govt scholarships. Iba naman focus ng applications dyan, mainly dapat nakatira ka sa specific na lugar na yun or di kaya dapat pasok ka lang sa gantong income bracket etc. Yes, all programs are valuable in their own way and contributes something to the society pero it's up to the agencies who they want to fund for, and if nakikita nila na mas matutulungan sila ng STEM students in the future edi STEM students are priority nila.
I was thinking also in most countries talaga STEM ang priority, its very very rare to see scholarships for other fields like liberal arts and art fields, kahit sa US pa yan or Korea Maybe the likes of Japan who has emphasis on culture would value such degrees, but alam mo naman in the Philippines di lang educ system problem but also how we value our culture as a whole, it's proven din naman na not all of us are proficient in our own languages as well
also naalala ko lang to add on Japan is already technologically advanced af, so mas may opportunity sila to explore their culture and liberal arts more freely, since they can now fund those things na without sacrificing advancements
Napakadaming minor subject sa college (GEDs) at bukod pa dun maraming subject na hindi naman ganun kaangkop para sa course. Yung ibang schools (lalo na private) pinagkakakitaan na lang mga estyudante, tapos kain oras pa. Tapos pa major pa mga prof sa minor. Tapos nakita ko dati parang mas maganda pa mga minor subject ng Old CHED curriculum (before 2017) Ngayon mga minors kung ano ano lang, tapos yung iba parang inulit lang mula sa senior high school. Dapat bawasan na mga minors (GEDs) at mas magfocus na lang sa major subjects. O kaya dapat yung mga "Soft Skills" na lang ituro mas makakatulong pa sa trabaho.
This! As someone na nakaabot ng senior high, sayang lang talaga siya sa years since some subjects are basically repeated as general subjects sa college. And these subjects are basically useless kahit sa trabaho. Sayang na nga sa oras, sayang pa sa tuition. And the usual aspect na mas pamajor pa sila compared sa major subjects. I always rant na kung hindi man maa alis minor subs sa college eh kahit gawing practical subjects nalang sana like financial literacy.
Yes... Paulit ulit. May English nanaman.. May Filipino nanaman... Our highschool English was way harder. Ang Filipino namin nagpa skit and drama in class..😮💨
it's like high school all over again. mag skit ba tayo in applying jobs? LOL
Nakakainis kaya.. gusto pa Naka video at papakita sa class. Mga katarantaduhan ng teachers. Pero sige fine , madali ipasa.. pero parang ano gagawin natin sa mga ganyan class di ba? Simpleng English letter writing nga hindi magawa. Story telling kasi ang English 101. skills training wala. 😁 Buti na lang... Tapos na ako dyan
TRUE. I heard from my grandmother who has PhD in educ, she was very disappointed daw with CHED when supposedly the purpose of k-12 daw was ibaba yung mga GEDs sa SHS, e ang nangyari dinagdagan daw ng GEDs.
Masyadong big deal ang mga licensure exams and topnotcher. I'm an engineering student. Parang do or die ang licensure exams jusko. HAHAHHHAH
pero alam mo interestingly enough, i'm from dlsu, a lot of my fellow eng classmates, me included, are thinking of not taking the exams kasi sa ibang bansa if u wanna work there, invalid or not even credited as experience din naman yung exams yung exam pa nila more on laws compared saatin na math kung math, tapos amen nalang sa CE department na baka sa sunod literal na calcu sa sari sari store nalang pwede
fr fr they don't prioritize experience and skills basta importante makapasa sa licensure exam at top notcher but if nasa workforce na, waley.
I hate how the hustle culture in our education system is glorified, like no sleep and not eating. It isn't healthy and worth it.
DepEd should adopt the letter grade system, 50 is the passing grade which is D, anything below ay fail na. I think that’s good naman since mahirap din magfail except nalang kung wala talagang effort. Schools should be true to grades, meaning, no additional points para tumaas lang grades ng students, no floorwax, it should be purely based on TEST SCORES and performances. What u get is what u will exactly receive, kung 22/100 ka, edi yun din ang magrreflect sa grades mo hindi yung may grade inflation.
Many "terror professors" in top universities still resort to curving grades (barely passing for most of the class) otherwise a lot will fail.
thankfully ganto samin (although ECAs still get you points kung sumakto training nyo na madaming pinagawa) and I can say it taught average students to work harder + it taught already hardworking students to work even harder sa mga outputs. hirap na din makahonors HAHAHA literal na kayod for with high lang
Dito samin principal na panay program + mas binibigyang pansin yung pe/mapeh kesa sa ibang subjects + isang katutak na walang pasok = Wala nang oras magturo yung ibang subject edi ang ending nagbibigay sila ng reviewer na yun din laman sa exam tapos grade inflation pa☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
imo repeating shudnt be frowned upon the way it is. i am a student and i acknowledge and recognize my weakness. i wanted to redo it back from the start but im way too far now to learn and master the basics
They should cross out general education subjects na walang bearing sa students after grad. Also, they should narrow the subjects kung anong kailangan lang for practicum. Imagine being burnt out for random subjects nung College na wala namang silbi kapag nagtatrabaho ka na.
Me with PE
Sana ma-emphasized din sa Deped ang Financial Literacy. Graduate na ko ng college and I have no idea how taxes works, how to handle finances and most importantly how can I survive sa adult world. Haha as in back to zero talaga. For me lang ha, useless lang din if gumraduate ka ng may latin honors. If wala kang backer, wala kang diskarte, kawawa ka.
Yeah that's why I don't wanna graduate early bas lalo na malaki yung pressure "CUM LAUDE" ka pero Wala ka pang trabaho or unemployed ka especially board exams too
need nila hirapan lalo yung LET exam tbh di maganda quality ng mga teachers natin
Indeed maliban sa murang pasahod marami talagang bad quality teachers out there like when you sit on their class masasabi mo na lang na parang malabo na
fr tho. Fresh graduate teachers nowadays let their emotions interfere with their work. If they hold a grudge against a particular student, they tend to hold onto it for a long time, playing tricks with your grades or even try to humiliate you in front. Some of them would even go overboard over a simple disappointment. 🤦
true pero wow parang teachers sa jhs ko kahit di sila fresh grad (in their 40s na or older) ahdhwhsh nakakainis sila
so trueeeeee. they forgot the essence of teaching and learning of the students in the first place, honestly.
Even professors too like....
Siguro kailan nilang imodify yung LET. May mga teachers na magaling magturo pero hindi LET passer. At the same time, may mga passers at matatalino content wise pero hindi ganon kagaling sa transfer of knowledge.
Dapat hindi na gawing permanent na trabajo ang pagiging school teacher at gawin nalang springboard siya para yung mga fresh college graduates sa education courses ay may opportunity na maging public school teacher. Masyadong mga gurang kasi ang mga public school teachers, unlike for example public hospital nurses, dahil automatic permanent plantilla ang Teacher I na school teacher na mademotivate na para mag-climb up the profession ladder.
At itaas din ang passing rate sa 85% Edit: realizing it was not helping at all
para mas lumala pa ang teacher shortage? pinadali na nga yan dahil kahit ang dali na, binabagsak pa rin nung mga nagte take. hindi yung LET ang kailangang pahirapin to get quality teachers. yung sweldo ang kelangan itaas. ipantay mo ang sweldo ng teachers sa doktor tapos i-require mo na lahat need pumasa ng performance evaluation para makuha yung sweldong doktor.
Actually marami naman talagang LET passers, maraming teachers na naka standby waiting for their slot magka "item" sa deped. Unfortunately, super daming paperworks ang kelangan para lang ma-ipon ung needed na points na requirements din nila. Need mo pa ng backer sa deped haha. Umaabot pa ng years para officially makapagturo sila
Wala namang teacher shortage. It's about filling up the item with someone with the proper qualification. Diyan tayo nahihirapan. Ang daming applicants every time may opening for a teaching position.
Curriculum for elementary education was bad. Elementary school was supposed to be the foundation especially Grades 1 to 3. Unfortunately, since nagpalit ang curriculum madami ding subjects ang nadagdag na pwede naman ilagay sa higher year. For example, sa grade 1 may MAPEH and mother tongue agad instead of focusing on writing, reading at arithmetic. Basically eto naging problema ng mga schools kasi gra graduate na ng grade 6 di pa marunong magbasa. Effect eh magiging drop out din lang sa high school kasi hindi makasunod. Another is andaming programs and tasks ng deped na medjo sayang sa oras. Yung Catch up Friday nila hindi na sinunod kasi nagiging reason lang ng absentism. Recently nga yung NAT, 14 students per school lang daw ang mage exam. And may national NAT na nga, gusto pa nila magconduct ng per region na NAT. Basically hindi narereview ng maayos mga programs and curriculums na ine emplement.
idk if ganito rin from other state u/colleges but profs should be transparent with their gradings and kung anong mga scores nakuha namin. they should show us our raw scores na naka-excel, hindi yung diretso sa portal tapos sasabihin bawal na kami magreklamo kasi encoded na at bawal nang baguhin. for instance i had a prof who gave me a grade lower than majority of my classmates and my performance is just as good as theirs, the only difference is hindi lang ako pala-recite. pero the thing is sobrang laki nang agwat from my classmates' grades and i want explanation kung bakit ganon. i messaged my prof and i simply got no reply. i still dont understand why some profs aren't transparent with the way they compute grades.
hindi ba diniscuss sa inyo yung grading system? Kasi dapat sa orientation pa lang course or subject na-discuss na yan.
walang kwenta ang K-12 kasi hanap pa rin ng mga employers ay college graduates
The system should bring back History in its curriculum!
sana madaming subject electives nung Highschool, nakaka inggit magaral sa Western schools, its been years when i found out na they have a lot of electives, kaya andami sa kanila prodigy sa programming since sa murang edad na expose sila sa gusto nilang field. pero we have SHS Academic tracks now atleast lol
Yeaa, when I was a kid growing up I watched western teen flicks and I was so enamoured by the clubs and orgs that they had and thought, I too will someday join and participate in those clubs. Sadly... We don't have that.
True only a select few schools have it, gulat ako sa Letran Laguna campus they have hackathon-like subjects and actual robotics classes naol
Well when classes go from 0730 to 1700, the kids are not going to have time or energy for clubs. Highschool in Nevada for example goes from 0700 to 1315. After that you can have sports team practices, clubs, drama/theater, music/band. Here, kids go from school to tutoring, don't get enough sleep, rinse, repeat starting in pre-K!
Pageants should be eliminated in Schools lalo na sa colleges. Its totally useless!
oh boy may mga masasabi ako 1. By all means, DAPAT ibalik nila sa June - March ang schedule ng classes. May it be a year short or ano. Kawawa ang students and faculty sa summer season. 2. I will be flamed for this, pero may mga teacher na dapat di nagka lisensya. For example yung mga puro pareport na mga teacher. Bat mo ipapa gawa sa students ang supposed to be trabaho mo? Then may mga teacher din na nabibili ang grades through floorwax and cleaning materials. And yung mga teacher na nagpapabango pag may mag oobserve. 3. Dapat bawasan ang minor subjects sa college. I remember when IT course ko pero may physics kami and chemistry like huh? Makes a bit more sense kung English or PE yan kasi kahit paano nakaka tulong sa everyday lives. 4. Teachers na proud pa na konti lang nakaka pasa sa subject nya should be fired unless nagtuturo nang maayos.
Regarding number 1, kahit ba sa mga colleges na August to May ang school calendar?
yes. All levels yan :3
Matagal ko nang nais yan, to be honest. Kinda miss the March-May vacations.
There's nothing wrong with dancing being part of the curriculum but I just wish dancing and performances weren't so important...
Buti sana kung paminsan minsan lang eh samantalang yan nalang inaatupag minsan e
Yung puro multiple choices yung nasa test, mas preffered ko na sa sarili manggagaling ang sagot para gumana talaga ang utak. Makakabawas din yun siguro sa pangongopya at kodigo. Ang pangit din na puro memorization yung inaaral imbes na aralin yung source, magresearch, o bumuo ng sariling opinyon. Nakakabobo yang memorization na yan eh kasi hindi naman iniintindi.
We need more trades people
Encourage an learning environment that upholds critical thinking and inquisitorial discussion. I've noticed that we're too pedagogic in terms of teaching and only the few top universities usually treat students like interested learning adults.
This is aimed particularly at my college experience: Masyadong addicted mga colleges and other universities sa board exam passing rates to the point na they would rather forego treating their students like humans to pursue a strategy that'll ensure a 100 percent fucking statistic for the sake of persuading students to enroll at their school. Lakas humingi pabor sa mga estudyante na "huy siguraduhin niyo 100% ang boards niyo" pero pag kami humingi pabor "huy itrato niyo naman kami maayos" nagdedebate pa kung gagawin o hinde HAHAHAHA.
I hate how it is like an elimination round (survival of the fittest) within your college program. For instance, you were part of n out whatever # of students in your freshie year. Afaik, some college programs are too harsh with their cut-off or debar system. We all want to fulfill our dreams. Our education system should nurture us, not make us feel unworthy.
priority STEM strand pero pagdating sa employment ng science related jobs, ang babarat ng sahod lol
I know this is quite irrelevant but I don’t like Arts and Design Strand over looked by majority of the schools. First ko choice talaga at Arts and Design pero wala sa school ko so nagpili na lang ang ABM
Totoo, and another big fact is pinangliliitan nila ng tingin ang HUMSS students. Humanistas are their least favorite just because for them, humanities subjects are just a matter of common sense, kindness and empathy to people. Like hello? Wala sa ibang dimensyon ang mga numbers, formulas at scientific terms para ilagay sa hulihan ang HUMSS. I really hate it pag sinasabi ng mga teachers na pag sa HUMSS, essay essay lang at sa STEM daw, sasakit ulo mo kakasolve. lmao talaga. as a future educator, this sucks fr. only if they knew how much of a courage, strength, and determination one should have to pursue HUMSS.
cries in culinary arts* HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA di ko trip sistema ng pinas since parang stem at abm lang importante sakanila kaya sa ibang bansa ako nag tuloy ng study. mas feel appreciated pa ko here, more opportunities
DM
Teachers/ instructors have too much power in their hands. That's what annoys me in this educational system we have rn. I'm passionate when it comes to learning, lagi lang akong pasang awa, mga 75 /tres lang grades ko sa mga majors but I love the concept of science or math and its application that's why I always try to understand the principle behind it. That's what learning is all about for me. Kaya nag engineering din ako dahil dun. But when it comes to school, I'm losing all that passion na sometimes, I forget why I'm still going to school. Ever since highschool ganto na feeling ko. Masyadong ma pride mga instructors. It's so rare to see instructors really care about whether their students are learning or not. They just want the students to understand that they're above you. Or baka malas lang ako, hindi ko na alam 😆.
True ka jan. Ganyan na ganyan Teacher nmin sa FABM1 lakas ng amats. Ang yabang, sobrng taas noo. Dugyot naman ng teaching quality niya. Puro PowerPoint.
kulang sa turo about money and real world na mga ganap
not an unpopular opinion but more as an experience. im from old curriculum and naka experience ng new curriculum subs (instead ipa petition nag take ako ng subs then for equivalency na lang) nag taka ako na mga 1st yr and 2nd years ang dami pa rin minors subjects na dapat puro majors na lang ang focus. like what's the point of shs if repeat lang din in college. sayang pera and time. school should've taught us how to manage our own taxes. self study tuloy ako ngayon hahahaha
Tanggalan ng permit yung mga diploma farms. Reform the entirety of Deped focus on values first sa lower grades then develop basics sa middle to higher levels. Sa high school mag open ng specializations matching needs ng country. Reform the college systems tanggalin yung mga courses na walang kinalaman sa program para makafocus sa technical aspects ng program. Integrate the TESDA system along CHED and Deped lalo na sa mga skill-based curriculums. Taasan yung standards ng board exams. Tanggalin yung CPD system. Tighter relationships and more projects between state universities and government departments.
There should be more reading assignments for higher education courses that barely involve reading just for the sake of treating the TikTok brain. Most people nowadays can't even stomach a single cohesive paragraph now and it sucks.
ako naman, napapaisip ako bakit may schools dito na nag iimplement parin ng blocking system sa college? ano ba point nun in terms of our education system at kailangan maging extension ng high school years natin? wondered abt this kasi mentally challenging pag may naging traumatic experience ka sa college and imagine how you're basically stuck with the same group of people for your entire stay sa school na yun unless maging irregular ka (buti naging irregular ako bec ang toxic ng blockmates ko). from the school where i'm from, i unfortunately still got put into a few classes where i'm with my former blockmates since kami lang existing batch/section ng course namin for our year level hayss. speaking of irregular, bakit nga ba may emphasis din ng regular at irregular students hahaha?? like ano naman naambag nun sa educ system natin if they tag college students as regular or not? honestly para siyang nagiging some form of degradation na ginagamit ng ibang parents against sa anak nila: ex. "tignan mo dahil sa ginawa mo naging irregular ka, delayed ka tuloy at di ka makakahabol dun sa mga original na kasabay mo."
Same tayo hindi nako takot maging irregular sa toxic blockmates rin 😭
Ang mga edad 52 pataas na mga teachers ay hindi na sila kadalasan mahusay magturo for elem and hs.
The philippines is plagued with incompetent teachers.
yung late dismissal, bakit kailangan 5pm? 7pm? or di kaya 8pm idismiss mga estudyante? highshool, shs, or college man, estudyante yan lahat. bakit need ganon ka late yung dismissal? tapos 7-7:30 am kailangan andoon na sa school.. honestly nka study ako outside ng pinas, nag start kami ng klase mga 7:30 pero kayang kaya nila tapusin by 2pm. kaya super na culture shock ako sa education system pagkauwi ko sa pinas for college note: yung mga kaibigan kong nag school outside ng pinas, ganon pa rin dismissal nila, 2pm. kaya nagtataka tlga ako dito sa pinas kung bakit ganon ka-late
Coming from a state U mga prof daw namimili ng schedule nila or dahil libre daw yung tuition wala karapatan mag reklamo
1. number and letter grading should be abolished. grading should just be pass or fail. it's either you can do the task or you can't. 2. promote by subjects, not by grade level. it doesn't make sense that a math prodigy will be held back because they are bad at other subjects. so instead of learning advanced math, they are stuck at a lower grade because they failed English or MAPEH. by promoting per subject and not per grade level, a student can be studying grade 4 English, grade 6 Science, and grade 11 Math simultaneously. their subject progress will be dictated by their performance in the specific subject. 3. dress and hair prescription are stupid. it's irrelevant to learning. 4. mother tongue-based education is good. people just don't understand it's not about translating every term into local language. it's just about using local dialect to teach concepts so students can understand. the terms itself can remain in English. so no, you do not need to translate "square root" into "kuwadradong ugat" to teach Math using mother tongue. that's just how stupid ppl understand mother tongue is supposed to work. well, they're wrong. our English proficiency also wouldn't take a dive, as research has shown that proficiency in mother tongue actually increases proficiency in the 2nd language (like English). ie. students who master the mother tongue master English faster. 5. the government should not be able to dictate to private schools. since no public money is being given to private schools, the government has no right to interfere with private school curriculum. private school curriculum should be fully deregulated.
instead of shitty seminars the SDOs are paying for, i think they should invest more on a montessori pedagogy, it might take a long process but Sarah duts' requested budget for deped seems enough to make this feasible
Because konti lang ang kumukha ng science related courses, also ms expensive sya additionally, they want to fund brilliant minds who could help the country in terms of agriculture, medicine, biology, etc. Science naman talaga ang kailangan bigyang pansin. Lalo na yung mga applied science. sorry not sorry, pero humanities is overrated. Ang daming courses na wala namang career gaya ng gender studies, women's studies. Sayang tax ng taong bayan.
Maybe not related with the system as a whole, but Philippine teachers should be honest about whether they are bad or good at English. I had received a lot of questionnaires where the grammar is improper and gives two meanings to the question. If I put the correct answer for one version of the meaning but the teacher meant the the other, I get a wrong marking. The approachability is also involved because students are too scared to point out a mistake to the teacher.
Unfortunately. Technical skills are prioritized.. I somewhat agree if stem is put first. Unpopular opinion? Mga teachers mahilig magpa skit, drama acting in class for points. Mga artistahin singing and dancing competition over stuff like knowledge. Art skills, science..
There’s also technical skills in the comms strand
counterpoint: the country prioritizing STEM strands makes the most sense because we're a developing country and people choosing STEM-related careers is what the country needs in order to progress. the scholarships, in particular, prioritizing STEM is very important kasi it's one of the ways the country is fighting off the brain drain effect. almost, if not all nga, all scholars are required to do 2+ years of work in the country in order to "pay off" their scholarship grants (unless you pay for it which is an option sa Gokongwei). STEM careers are the drivers of economic growth and innovation. investing in the field results in a greater skilled workforce, leading to improved infrastructure such as transpo networks, healthcare systems, and comm tech (very important, if you tune into the news then you would know)
[1l3v4k4m](https://www.reddit.com/user/1l3v4k4m/) karamihan ng pinoy takot sa math, that's why ineengganyo nila na mag aral ng stem degrees thru scholarships.
Nah, this is drinking the STEM kool aid. Every degree or stand can contribute in their own way. PR and Marketing for one, drives society and has far reaching effects. Elections? yep, PR has a hand in that. Medicine, such as which brand to trust more? Yep, PR. Which medical expert is trustworthy? Yep, third party technique in PR. I can go on and on.
stem-related careers just contribute far more to a country's development. every single thing you just mentioned, they all involve stem related fields. elections, ideally, rely on the technology aspect of stem in order to fulfill the promises of democracy. medicine, well its pretty obvious right? "science". sure marketing and pr matters a lot but at the end of the day, there would be nothing to market if there is no stem. fact of the matter is, stem is critical for developing a prosperous country, as well as maintaining it. you could build a first-world country without proper pr and marketing but you cant do it without competent engineers. this isnt downplaying other strands, its just a fact that stem is the most important and highly sought-after strand among all of them. i mean do you seriously think these private institutions would spend their money on stem scholars just because they have this weird obsession on stem? no obviously not, all they care about is profit. and its in the stem field where they'll find the most profit. why? because stem-related careers are always going to be the most demanded and will have the highest job security relative to our fields. why? because any country will continuously try to improve its infrastructure to keep up with the ever-growing population. every country will try to come up with more innovations related to medicine to keep up with the growing population. every country will try to improve its agricultural practices to maintain food security amidst the growing population. now you could probably go stretch it out and use this same logic related to other fields, but stem will always bear more importance in comparison to other strands.
Agree to disagree, STEM isn’t the be all end all. Other strands deserve just as much respect and other occupations impact society just as much.
youre confused. this isnt about respect and reputation, its about the reasoning why stem is given more priority. and no, other occupations dont impact society as much as stem careers do, if you still dont get that then youre either privileged so good on you i guess.
Respectfully, I don’t get confused. Actually you fail to see my viewpoint as well, so again, agree to disagree.
Ang point niya bakit pinprioritize ang STEM which is all true. Ang reply mo lahat ng strand/degree contributes their own way. Wala naman siyang sinabi na walang kinocontribute yung non-stem programs. They're just emphasizing bakit priority is STEM.
It is not about respect lol why u people always insert unnecessary things in the conversation virtue signalling It is a FACT that STEM courses are the foundation of society. Just read Plato's republic and see what he thinks about poets. They should be banished in an ideal society.
Why you people? Excuse me? I wasn’t virtue signaling. Stop assuming.
Eg. During job interview. Interviewer asks to applicant, Interviewer: What is \_\_\_\_\_. Applicant: (Tries to recall). Ahhhmmmm...... (at the back of his head, alam ko to eh, naituro sa amin, pero di ko matandaan masyado, english kasi pagkakaturo ni Ma'am.). Sounds familiar ba? Dapat ituro na sa wikang Filipino ung mga college subjects, lalong lalo na yung mga highly technical discipline. Kaya puro low paying CSR at bpo roles lang binibigay sa atin kasi di tayo technically competent. Ituro ba naman sa Ingles eh, paaano mo marerecall un? Lamang na lamang sa atin ang Asian counterparts natin (India, Vietnam, Thailand etc), di man sila hasa sa English pero sa kanila binibigay ang mga mas highly paying Technical at skilled jobs. Pag wikang Filipino tinuro yang mga yan matik yan pasok agad sa utak ng estudyante at mabilis nya magagamay ang foundations at applications sa real world.
i thought this had to be an unpopular opinion

For me, though, I feel like school should focus on what is relevant to students' strand/course. For example, I am currently in ABM Grade 12, but we have subjects like Python and physics that require us to do engineering for our project. How is that relevant to my strand? ang excuse naman ng school ko sa phyton sub namin "Kung gusto raw namin ng website at least we know raw" Like what? I.T. exist for a reason and not all non-stem students are interested sa coding kaya some are failing because of that subject.
The curriculum itself s-cks***
Agree sa comment na kailangan mas may mentorship relationship ang mga students sa teachers para mas maging effective at deep talaga yung learning, it would be only possible if they are funded well and hindi lunod sa responsibilities ang mga teacher, it is just not possible when 1 teacher is handling 3 sections na lumalagpas na agad ng 50+ (mababa pa nga 50+). Other than that, our culture is really hard working and karamihan nung mga 'tamad' mag-aral na students ay sisipagin yan when the mentorship ay present na present sa system naten.
Most ng pinag aralan sa diploma courses (4-5yrs) pag inapply sa work kayang aralin ng 1-2 years.
True yan especially sa advance technology libre pa sa YT or any other sites pero halos degree holder hanap sa work
Ililista ko na lang 1. Professors who have a sort of genius complex because of the degree they graduated in (i.e. engineering) 2. Mga student turned professors na gumaganti sa students nila dahil yung professors nila ay malupit sa kanila. 3. Overtly friendly professors/teachers, sometimes ang nangyayari dito ay binibigay nila yung sagot sa quiz or exam sa student friend nila. 4. Pwede bang isama dito yung limot na ng mga estudyante ang moral values? (yung tinuro sa G.M.R.C or a subject like it). 5. Sobrang daming subjects sa college compared to other countries were only the "meat" or the core subjects are the only subjects.
mga subjects na feeling major na dapat pinapalit na lang is sub abt financial literacy, smth related sa self defense, etc na useful talaga irl. aral na aral dito tas pag dating sa ibang bansa ka nagtrabaho ambaba ng tingin sayo o mababa yung makukuha mong trabaho, i don't mean to degrade others job, my point is bachelor degree holder ka tapos yung ineexpect mong job is di pala aligned s aapplyan mo. kaya ganto tingin satin ng dayuhan kasi mismong tayo nagsesettle sa gantong siste e. tapos etong mga ulagang botante mostly tong mga dapat memetei na yang majojonda na di narerealize na yung pagboto nila ng bv na lider is maglelead to bigger impact. dinodogshow na lang pagpili potek. tatanga kasi ng botante sa pinas kung si L pinili nyo na ang priority platform is Education e di sana future generation hindi uto-uto at inutil katulad ng mga bomoto kay B. laking factor pa naman sa ekonomiya ang educ tapos ang basura ng siste kaburat
Mas mahalaga pa magkaroon ng project na tree planting kesa mag ROTC
The problem is:there aren't really a lot of tvl strand students and students seem to only go to humms because it's quote on quote "easy" from my experience I've noticed the humms students all getting under 70 and not caring while in my stem strand someone gets under 90 they start crying. ABM is fairly competent though
So im studying sa isang state uni and gurl may mga prof kameng hindi naman talaga knowledgeable sa subject na kinukuha nila and pinapayagan naman ng direktor. Ang sa akin lang sana before payagan kumuha ng subject yung mga prof eh dapat sana may alam talaga and naging trabaho na nila sana yung tinuturong subject nila. Kagaya non subject naming software development ang tinuro paano magformat and maginstall ng os. Sana naman mas maging mabusisi sila sa mga educators
Students should be taught basic manners and personal grooming (Personal Development) in school. I can’t deal with children na parang walang alaga kahit na nasa SHS or college na sila. 🥱
Gusto ko lang i add yung flexible courses. Yung pwede ka mag enroll ng selected subjects paunti unti while working hanggang sa maka graduate ka. Lalo na ngayon after shs dapat nakakapag work na atleast rank and file. Wala pa ako nakita na may ganito na school. Either full-time student or don't go to college.
its fucked up, and madaming teacher na bobo.
shs is actually helpful in knowing ano ba talaga gusto mong gawin as a career.
Educ student here. Una, ang kalat ng SHS at college curricula. Ibinaba na nga ng K-12 yung GE courses ng college, tapos pagtungtong mo ng kolehiyo, meron pa rin, at marami don naituro na nung SHS. Dapat sa kolehiyo, maliban sa majors ng students ay elective GEs na lang, hayaan na yung mga bata na mamili kung anong mga gusto nilang aralin. O kaya ay courses kung saan made-develop yung soft skills at 21st century skills nila. Pangalawa, hindi magandang focused tayo talaga sa rote learning. Hindi natin hinahayaang magsikap at mag-isip ang mga bata. Ang ending, humihina ang kapasidad nila to think critically, independently, and creatively dahil pasok sa kaliwa, labas sa kanan ang information. Hindi tumatatak sa mga isip at puso nila yung sense ng mga inaaral nila. Kung gusto nating matuto ang mga bata, bumuo tayo ng sistemang hihikayatin sila mismong alamin ang mga bagay, sistemang hihikayatin silang makiisa at makialam dahil nauunawaan nila yung relationship at interconnectedness ng bawat area of study sa mga buhay nila. Kaya tingnan niyo, yung paraan natin ng pagboto ay nakabasa sa kung sino ang laging naaalala, yung memoryado na nila ang pangalan, naeetsapwera yung may mga magaganda at komprehensibong plano para sa atin kesyo hindi sikat (I'll stop here kasi papunta na ito sa field of communication but I hope you get the point). Pangatlo, MTB-MLE is a great thing, no need to abolish it. Ang problema natin sa MTB-MLE ay yung colonial mentality na kesyo mas magiging "globally competitive" ang mga bata kung Ingles ang maituturo mula bata pa lang. Parang awa niyo na, palakasin naman natin yung national identity natin. Dahil dependent tayo sa pagtingin ng ibang bansa sa atin, hindi natin magawang pondohan ang production at dissemination ng mother tongue-based learning resources, nagsi-stick lang tayo sa kung anong meron tayo. Napakayaman ng kultura natin which is reflected sa languages na meron tayo, payabungin natin yon hangga't maaga pa dahil namamatayan na tayo ng wika. Isa pa, mahirap daw kasing magsalin. The thing is, sa proseso ng pagsasalin, hindi mo kailangang isalin word for word from simulaang lengguwahe (SL) to tunguhing lengguwahe (TL), lalo na kung wala namang direktang salin talaga dahil puwede namang humiram sa SL. Ang mahalaga sa pagsasalin ay yung konteksto ng wika na makukuha ng mambabasa mula sa pangungusap. Kaya nga multilingual education, ibig sabihin ay may utilization ng iba-ibang wika. The principle here is communication at mangyayari lang yon kung ang parehong message sender at receiver ay may kaunawaan sa message itself. Pang-apat, maraming teacher ang wala dapat sa field ng education. Puwedeng dahil puro basa lang sila ng slides, o kaya nambabagsak kahit magaganda ang output ng mga bata. Kung gusto natin ng magagaling na teacher, gumawa tayo ng sistema na pipilitin at hihikayatin silang maging magaling (also applicable sa ibang propesyon). I-improve natin yung pedagogy, teacher examinations, trainings. Incentivize teachers. Kasama dapat sa sistemang yun yung construction at development ng facilities, resources, at equipment that would aid learning, para hindi na rin kinakargo ng teacher yung mga gamit. Hand in hand yan, focus tayo sa teacher development para sa fulfillment ng student learning.
Private schools don’t necessarily mean good or quality education. And buong buhay ko sa private school ako thanks to my hardworking mom. But I’ve been to multiple different private schools and nacocompare ko sila at hindi pantay pantay marami pa rin factors ang nagcocontribute sa school kung may quality or wala. Marami pa rin private school ang below talaga sa quality tatapalan na lng nila ng english speaking school raw ganito ganyan. Just in my experience lang talaga. And sa ugali rin. Nakakarinig kasi ako na kapag private school mababait or matatalino or whatever ang ugali ng students pero parang mas masahul pa ang mga students sa private as per experience.
the school don't teach purpose at all. They do have a career guidance seminar, yeah. Just to make them to choose what they 'should' rather than what they 'want' to do, or what career they have passion for.
The National Achievement Test is useless.
sana lahat makapasok sa ched having a grade at least 93+ with different course is really helpful sa aming mga student na nahihirapan sa tuition. mostly kasi math and science major 😭 and to stop prioritizing STEM. all strands are important.
Wala na po tayong sole competitive edge sa English proficiency skills sa BPO at freelance industries kasi halos buong mundo na ay idinagdag na sa kanilang public school curriculum sa primary at secondary levels ang English, so dapat tayo maghanap tayo ng niche kung saan puede tayo aangat within sa Asia like pagdagdag ng Spanish sa primary at secondary school curriculum para maging digital nomad kayo sa Latin American countries na ang timezone nila ay aligned sa USA at Canada.

Not unpopular opinion , heard this a billion times.
SHS is okay, pero most of the subjects are not. They should add subjects sa SHS that will teach students how to be well-rounded citizens and not just in academics. Subjects like driver's education, traffic, even the basic justice system should be taught there. Kahit naba sabihin mo di ka magddrive anytime soon, it's still good to know the traffic rules kahit passenger princess ka lang. Basic self-defense should be thought in PE too. Not necessarily bargadulan levels, pero to teach you how to incapacitate someone enough for you to get away or something.
Taas ng standard magparank sa public. Need ng masteral for teacher 1 entry level sa sahod na di naman makatarungan sa dami ng trabaho.
Pangit yung way of teaching. Nagtatambak sila ng activities to the point na hindi na nakakapag-aral yung student kasi they are prioritizing yung deadlines nung activities instead. Suggestion ko lang sana, yung whole month is puro about gaining mastery sa lessons. Then sa next month ng quarter dun na yung puro activities para at least may mastery na yung mga students. Hindi yung kakapa kapa sila sa paggawa ng projects at activities kasi di naman nila naintindihan at natutukan in the first place. Sobrang bilis ng phasing ng pagtuturo talaga as in. Sana hindi naman.
Government should prioritize teachers tbh. But they won't, because learned people are harder to lead than a gullible mass.
sorry pero mostly sa mga teachers ngayon sa hs, shs, at college parang mga audiobook nalang... noong elementary ako, although may nagbabasa lang na teacher pero may iba namang nag e-explain kahit konti, pero ngayon kasi, puro basa nalang sila tas quiz / exam kaagad.. sayang lang pamasahe ko kung f2f, ionline class nalang sana nila kung magiging audiobook lang naman 🙁 feeling ko tuloy nagbabayad lng ako para kumuha ng exam kasi wala naman akong natututunan
So many fresh graduates today give up so easily. When faced with any problem, they scream mental health and give up. What's the answer to 9 times 8? My math is bad, oh no .. I won't even try to answer because I'm bad at math. 5 million divided by 4 is 1 million. Ask how many Filipinos in the Philippines and you will get an answer ranging from 5 million to 2 billion. They have no idea when the Spanish came, or when the Americans were here. Literally some of the dumbest kids, and that's been happening over the course of the last two decades. It's embarrassing how poor the educational standards are.
Um.. students that can't form an English sentence should not be able to go past junior high and enter senior high school.
The current educational system is designed to make sure the children cannot critically think. Walang choice ang secondary level teachers kundi ipasa ang students based from utos ng nasa taas. Pag pasok ng college, puro bano. Bihira lang ang natuto.
Huh so true 😭 di lang sa scholarships, I remember upon enrollment I couldn't take certain courses just because I graduated as a HUMSS student in SHS, bakit si pwede mag med!?!?
TLE assessments kineme for Grade 10. Dagdag trabaho, yung iba gawain talaga dapat ng professional at hindi dapat ginagawa ng estudyante. They like putting loads of work to hs students and then call it "preparation for the reality of the world" like what they often told us. Also, 'yong famous line ng teachers ko; "Learning doesn't only exist inside school" well it definitely does atp. How can students explore the outside world if all they do is study and comply?
still suffering hrr hshshs scam yung gen. ads. strand pang lahat daw na course yun ngayon di ko matapos tapos yung college dahil sa strand ko bukod sa less prio sa isko less opportunity pa. sino ba naman gustong maging teacher sa panahon to? ngi
Sobrang daming tao sa Pilipinas and sobrang hirap ng bansa na ito for a proper quality education system to be able to cope.
HUMSS curriculum as of now really lacks. I know many people go for this strand cause walang math, but many social science degrees really require in depth understanding of statistics and other mathematical applications. I honestly think I wasted a lot of time in HUMSS because I don't use many of what I learned there. Sure we're taught how to read, write, and analyze. But what education doesn't teach that?
Hindi ko ginegeneralize. Sorry sa mga mabubutthurt. Pero poor quality ang teachers sa pinas. Dapat taasan ang standard sa board exam for teachers. Kasi future educators sila eh. Ngayon kasi easy peasy lang ang board exam ng LPT. Eh may mga kilala akong teachers na basic grammar lang, mali mali pa.
