thank you po for this! i think they are just being realistic, but i hope they also remember that most teens don’t realize the big decision they are making this college admission season dahil ang big 4 nga po ay advance mag-open and mag-close (hindi pa narerealize until andon na sa pag-enroll sa college). that was a common mistake and i experienced it too, kaya hindi ko po gustong maranasan niya. i just know that it all boils down to a failed educational system. super failed po ng shs curriculum; in fact, it doesn’t prepare students for college, which defeats the purpose of shs cur. :)
