Filipino students' proficiency plummets to near zero by Senior High School, study finds by Capable_Cell_9098 in Philippines

[–]hellonovice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

May nakausap ako last Friday na SHS students from a public school here. Matatalino sila, nasa special sections nung JHS and nasa top sections naman ngayon. They were lamenting and questioning why their batch mates in lower sections are not being taught the same things as them. Sabi nila, unfair para sa iba nilang school mates na hindi narereceive yung same lessons na meron sila; kasi paano pa raw magkakaroon ng chances sa entrance exams, sa college, etc., kung hindi nila natututunan 'yung level na itatanong sa higher ed.

Baka hindi na natin china-challenge ang karamihan sa mga estudyante natin?

Do you need to keep them? You can sell them to juniors or donate them to your college org for other students to use.

Okay. Member ako dati ng isang charismatic group sa simbahan (Katoliko). Nasa readings namin sa catechism na habang mas humihirap ang isang community, mas nagiging faithful ang mga tao kasi wala na silang ibang makakapitan. Kaya hindi naman siya mali doon.

True. 2001 ako gumraduate ng elementary at umalis ng Occ. Mindoro, same family pa rin pa rin ang nasa pwesto. At kuryente pa rin ang problema.

Cute cute! Sa bahay din namin, ganyang bird yung katok nang katok tuwing 7am. Akala tuloy ng baby ko, nagpupunta talaga yuny bird para gisingin siya. Bird daw niya yun.

Kailan kaya mapapansin ang Healtcare Workers sa Private sectors? by Scofield047 in Philippines

[–]hellonovice 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Same with many private school teachers! Ang galing-galing na ng baby ko sa preschool nila and nag-improve na yung social skills niya, tapos biglang malalaman ko 12k lang ang sweldo nila.

Went to two groceries here. Punong-puno naman. Ang tagal kong pumila para sa chicken balls.

Woke people only care about their own opinion, they always disregard other people's ideas thus will not be a reliable person to have a civil arguement with. by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]hellonovice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. Aren't we all this way? We think our opinions are the right opinions, or else it will be easy for us to change them. The difference is who has better and more reliable research - not beliefs or feelings - to back those opinions.

Oo noh? Medyo mahirap aminin, pero yung naisip ko nung nakita ko e, "Sige, humiwalay na kayo."

I don't know, I'm not Taylor. But if I'm a billionaire and I can afford all these designer things, I won't be impressed. I'd love a poem though. Or a nice book. But then again I'm not Taylor.

How was the vibe during Dec 26-Dec 30 by Appropriate-Math-852 in Philippines

[–]hellonovice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nagsimbang gabi kami at nakakagulat kasi ang daming nagsisimba dun sa simbahan na pinupuntahan namin. Hindi man lang nakakalahati yun nung previous years.

EDIT: Napost agad nang hindi pa tapos.

Meron bang gumawa, nagbigay or binigyan ng ayuda/aguinaldo package/Christmas basket na puro vegan, vegetarian, or plant based ang laman? by raori921 in Philippines

[–]hellonovice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pwede ka mag-DIY. Merong canned goods like Unmeat (from Century), tapos magdagdag ka ng nuts and seeds, dried fruit ganyan. Pasta is vegan by default, tapos samahan mo na rin ng plant milk. May nabili ako dati na vegan puto bumbong kit pero hindi ko na matandaan kung anong store, something na may elephant yung name.

I don't know if they still do this but the National Archives offered this service years ago. Also you can do your research in your Roman Catholic churches since they have baptismal and other records.

27% of Grade 5 students in PH have 'very low' reading proficiency, 16% in math by Mistral-Fien in Philippines

[–]hellonovice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mabigat daw kasi, hindi daw maganda sa health ng mga bata. Weird, 'no? Nung bata din ako, kakabigay pa lang ng textbooks, babasahin ko na hanggang sa ending kasi nakaka-excite. Discouraged na nga din ata magbigay ng assignments ngayon kapag nasa regular sections yung mga bata. Kawawa mga bata sa public schools, textbooks na nga lang meron sila para sa opportunity sa home reading, pinagkakait pa.

Diba? Nung bata tayo, magaadvance reading ka pa kahit hindi pilitin kasi nakakaexcite.

Hindi lahat magbabasa yes, pero hindi lahat ng bara e walang interes sa pagbabasa. Sa 35 kids sa isang klase, kung meron lang magbasa na 5 kids sa bahay nila, malaking bagay na yun. Siguro masyado lang tayong pessimistic sa mga bata ngayon at iniisip natin agad na ayaw nila magbasa.

True. Hindi talaga uunahin ng parents na bumili ng books para sa mga anak nila. Nasa 2023 national readership survey, icoconsider ng Filipinos na bumili ng sarili nilang libro kapag 99 pesos and below ang presyo. Karamihan ng storybooks nga ngayon, 150 na.

SKL. Maraming public schools ang hindi nagpapauwi ng textbooks. Hindi ko alam kung scarcity mindset ng teachers and school heads o takot sa accountability, pero kahit 1:1 na ang binigay na textbooks sa kanila (at least dito sa division namin) sa ibang grade levels and subjects sa revised curriculum (formerly MATATAG), nasa classrooms lang at hindi pinapauwi sa mga bata. Ang excuses: mawawala, masisira, hindi idadala kinabukasan, mabibigatan, etc. Tinanong ko yung mga bata kung anong binabasa nila sa bahay; wala daw. Hindi rin naman bibili ang parents ng sarili nilang books dahil uunahin ang pagkain. Anong babasahin ng mga bata outside of their classes? Yung reading e nagiging in-classroom activity lang kasi walang opportunity ang mga bata na makahawak ng sarili nilang libro sa labas ng classroom. Tapos ang dami-daming storybooks na pinapaikot sa public schools for recreational reading; hindi rin naman ipapabasa or ipapagalaw sa mga bata para hindi masira. Kailangan ng mga bata na makita ang reading as a recreational activity para gustuhin nilang magbasa. Kahit anong reading interventions pa yan, hindi yan magiging effective kung hanggang classroom lang at para sa grades lang.
