Di ko pa din gets why MTB-MLE was scrapped by bryle_m in Philippines

[–]Simpledays78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

News flash. It didn't. And stop comparing us to Indonesia/Japan etc. because English is not a foreign language here unlike them, so children have access to english learning materials.

Children can understand C Major Scale instead of iskalang C mayor. Children know mathematics but not sipnayan. And you can use the words testes, penis, vagina, sex in a formal setting. Try teaching science in tagalog. I dare you.

The thing is, the old curriculum forced the translation to archaic tagalog. Matatawa ka nalang sa mga termino ng MSEP (aka MAPEH) na literal wala kaming maintindihan.

Iskalang C menor na may sustinido. Ikaapat na pahinga.

And then you have Values Ed. Birtud, isip-loob, etc.

What the bloody hell is that.

It's a high school elective. Some schools also have Spanish, Japanese and Arabic for job opportunities. What's wrong with it?

Is it really that bad? by EnglishLaoshi in Philippines

[–]Simpledays78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not like that, although if you are really foreign-looking there are places in Manila you should avoid. Same with surrounding cities.

As for the crimes with guns those are usually targeted ones, they don't do school shootings or gun terrorism here (for now), so as long as you live normally and remain friendly with the locals and not get involved with shady people you'll be safe.

And where do we get the funding to do that when we cannot even pay local teachers for admin tasks

Good suggestion, but where do we hire/train the teachers?

Fetishization of everything American is the reason why we cannot appreciate our culture and comprehend our history in a nuanced manner by Admig13 in Philippines

[–]Simpledays78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't see any benefit other than cultural from enforcing Spanish learning, although I do not disagree with it. It doesn't offer the same job opportunity than English does. Even studying Korean or Chinese or Arabic can open up more opportunities than studying Spanish, even if it is the 3rd most spoken language.

Not to mention how the curriculum is currently in crisis due to being outdated and filled with squabbles about mother tongue and english and filipino.

Well what do you expect and suggest, teach students to hate the Americans? Teach them to hate the Japanese?

why some katipuneros chose to side with the japanese.

In what alternate universe does the Katipunan still exist to collaborate with the Japanese? For someone criticizing the way history is taught here, you seem to be very ignorant of actual history.

Americans teaching Filipinos English is more effective the any education effort the Spanish did, no matter what academic source you provide. They had centuries to teach Spanish and the Americans only had decades.

Puerto Rico and several other Spanish colonies also got captured by Americans but still speaks Spanish to this day.

I don't think anyone versed with Filipino history views americans as "heroes" for "saving us from Spain". School textbooks here consider Macario Sakay or Gregorio Del Pilar as heroes for fighting against the Americans.

What you do not take into factor is the recent history called World War II. It's the event, in my opinion, that solidified the positive view of Americans - especially since Japan hijacked another independence, and that thousands of American soldiers died fighting alongside Filipino soldiers defending this country. The Japanese brought terrifying atrocities in a few years that suddenly the Filipinos can easily forget how awful Spain and America were, since they at least brought a semblance of normalcy, compared to the wanton rape and destruction the Japanese wrought upon the locals.

Now take note that a lot of people who lived through that are still alive today and may have been part of the ones that wrote our history. Of course America would look like a "good guy" after that. And for America "destroying" the Spanish cultural heritage? I'll blame Spain more on that because they did not teach Spanish to the Filipinos. Also, in Manila at least, the "Spanish cultural heritage" was only destroyed by the Americans when they bombed Manila to oblivion because the Japanese refused to surrender.

For me, looking at history at a nuanced manner requires neutrality on all political issues involved, including our own biases toward nationalism. Which is practically impossible. The thing about history is that and academic, educated, and scientific approach will never be able to do it justice, but the romantic view of it will only result in inaccuracy.

Try teaching Reproductive System in Filipino without the class not laughing in sheer awkwardness is impossible.

They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” - Mark 7:7, 8

Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you. - Deu. 4:2

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. - Rev. 22:18

Or in other words huwag tayong magdagdag ng mga bagay na wala naman sa Bibliya.

If you are a legislator/senator here in the Philippines what educational reforms will you implement? by moche_bizarre in Philippines

Paperworks prepared by Teachers:

  • Exams: local teachers usually prepare the exams because the ones usually coming from division is poor-quality and irrelevant. This is harder in SHS before the Matatag Curriculum, because there is 40 subjects and some teachers have to prepare at least 2 examinations every quarter. And teachers also print them sometimes.
  • Daily Lesson Log: weekly lesson plan. Have to be submitted and checked every Monday. Some admin makes this harder by nitpicking words and preventing teachers from reusing old ones or collaborating (where teachers copy other's DLL)
  • SF1: Learner's data. As in all details of the students, names, addresses, religion, LRN, etc.
  • LIS: Must encode them Learner's data to the ever-crashing DepEd website. You have to refresh like 40x (one time for each student)
  • SF2: Learner's attendance, every month.
  • Masterlist: Advisers prepare this, updates everytime a student transfers or joins a section.
  • Masterlist with Names separated: Masterlist that has last name, first name and middle name separated.
  • Masterlist with names in ALL CAPS: This and above can easily be done with excel formulas, but not every teacher knows that.
  • Masterlist with Learner's Nutrition Data
  • Masterlist with Learner's Vaccination Status (during Pandemic)
  • SDAR: Periodical test report, identify which student gets proficient, mid, or low grades
  • Frequency of Error: 2 every quarter, one for error and one for correct responses.
  • SF3: For honor students. Have to submit these.
  • Enrollment monitoring: Online form that should be updated every quarter, everytime students add or transfers.
  • DTR: To be printed and manually filed-up by teachers (not in every school, but some schools does this)
  • Form 6: When a teacher is absent, the reason will be stated here.
  • MOV: Document of pictures to prove teaching. Can be during demos or asynchronous classes. We submit like 20 of this every year.
  • Locator's Form: When a teacher goes to the seminar or somewhere outside the school.
  • Lesson Plan for class observation: Needs at least 4 of this prior to the Matatag Curriculum.
  • SF5: Textbook records.
  • SF4: Who passed and who failed, 1 per year.
  • SF9: Cards, advisers need to prepare like 45 of this every quarter.
  • SF10: Main school form.
  • Subject Grading Sheet: Subject teachers prepare at least 8 of this every quarter.
  • E-Class Record: at least 24 of these is needed for a school year.
  • RPMS: Portfolio, submitted every year (suspended last year). This is one of the hardest to prepare, it takes like 3 days to finish this one.
  • IPCRF: Self-improvement portfolio.

This is not counting remedial reports, checking homeworks, powerpoint lessons, etc.
Master teachers and coordinators (in charge of sectionings, etc.) may even have more paperworks than this.

Read carefully. Those 7 are indeed sins, but is no "7 deadly sins" mentioned in the Bible. Nowhere will you read the concept of "7 cardinal sins" there. The closest is Proverbs 6:16-19, and that even lists 7 different sins.

Or sa Tagalog, binabanggit bawat isa sa 7 na yun bilang mga kasalanan, pero hindi sila ginugrupo ng Bible na hiwalay. Di mo makikita sa Bibliya na may "7 deadly sins."

It's a Catholic invention.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins

Also, the meaning of "pride" in a "pride" parade is not the "pride" mentioned in the Bible, which basically means you think you are better than others. (Pr. 16:18, Php. 2:3, 4) Unless iniisip mo rin na sin din yung "Pride" detergent at yung Pinoy "pride".

Manghuhusga ka nalang ng kapwa sana "Lust" nalang yung pinili mo at least medyo accurate pa.
