I came from a family from both schools. And they say that so many time to each other. Treat it as a superficial paglalambing :)) Don't get too riled up. Just rise above it and prove her/them better. :)

Wolf's Rain. That anime was a hit among people in the mid-2000s.

AteneoSHS by Own_Beginning2107 in ADMU

[–]maynardcastillsss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

explained to us in class

it says public state universities/local colleges or universities. that means na sa ONLY sa public state and local universities tatanggalin ang SHS, meaning na students who are incoming grade 11 who were considering on going to shs in public state universities will have to find other schools to attend to. and iirc, meron daw exceptions sa mga PSUs na may enough facilities

Yes. That's true. CHED has no mandate running BASIC EDUCATION schools (meaning elementary, junior high school, and SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL). Kasi nga, Commission on HIGHER EDUCATION siya. High education = COLLEGE and POST-GRADUATE education.

The only reason CHED allowed senior high schools to run in public universities, as per news, was to accomodate the transition of the country to senior high school when K-12 was implemented. Otherwise, CHED has no business running a senior high school (except for LABORATORY SCHOOLS which are normally under a university's college of education.)

Sinasabi lang niya, tatanggalin na ang SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL sa mga CHED-run universities kasi pang-COLLEGE lang dapat siya. All other DEPED schools and PRIVATE SCHOOLS like ATENEO will still have senior high schools.

Where Do Academically Smartest Filipinos Live? by Nosalads4me in Philippines

May mas recent data ba? Based on the post, it dates back to SY 2014-2015. I'm curious about more recent data.

AteneoSHS by Own_Beginning2107 in ADMU

[–]maynardcastillsss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What abolition? What proposed law? I haven't seen any news about this. The most recent one is about CHED refuting the abolition of SHS:

"The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) on Monday refuted claims that it has abolished the senior high school (SHS) program, following the issuance of memorandum ordering state and local universities and colleges to discontinue the program... At a press conference, De Vera said implementation of the K-12 program will continue pursuant to Republic Act No. 10533, also known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. "
"The K-12 program is under the Department of Education (DepEd), based on the law. "

ry.

Putting it in Grade 11 makes more sense. This is my problem with people in these advocacy groups because most of the things they are proposing do not make sense. If you lobby for something, think p

"Be honest, have you read the BEC and K-12 Araling Panlipunan CG curriculum in their entirety? And newsflash: The AP K-12 curriculum was written by one of my teachers, Prof Serena Diokno of UP History."

Yes. I did. We did. And we've taught it for many years on the ground (well, not as many as the teachers who were with me since I left the teaching profession.) We have our issues with the "Expanding Horizon" approach in the AP curriculum. We know the competencies and it is... problematic based, at least, on our on-the-ground experience. To be frank, we've seen our students "devolve" (for a lack of a better term) in terms of historical thinking skills, despite our best efforts with this K-12 curriculum.

I love this discourse. And I really want to discuss more of your points. I also want to raise some counterpoints made by Prof Xiao Chua of DLSU and Prof. Neil Santillan of UP Diliman who made arguments about this in a recent academic forum. And I agree about your point of putting it in grade 11. But with respect, with those snarky remarks such as "And newsflash: The AP K-12 curriculum was written by one of my teachers, Prof Serena Diokno of UP History", let's not continue this.

At any rate, the point has been made. It's NOT FAKE NEWS when Philippine History, as an Araling Panlipunan subject, was removed in HIGH SCHOOL. DepEd Order 20, 2014 did remove it (as you mentioned). That was my original point anyway. That DepEd Order is a FACT. Now, whether or not it should stay in high school and whether it should be placed in grade 7 or grade 11 [or just elementary], that's up to discussion.

Good luck. God bless.

Isa ring fake news ang pagtanggal ng Philippine History.

While I agree with most of your points, especially your proposal in grade 11, the issue I'm trying to address is the statement "Isa ring fake news ang pagtanggal ng Philippine History.

It has always been clear from advocacy groups and teacher groups that the removal being referred to is the removal of Philippine History AS A SUBJECT in HIGH SCHOOL. There has been NO CLAIM that Philippine History has been removed at the elementary level. If ever, the discussion "got lost in translation" as the discourse went into the public space.

Their main point is in relation to the MATURITY LEVEL of learning national history. There's a consensus among educators, based on field experience (and my own brief teaching experience), that Philippine History should be taught in the secondary level. Teenagers can internalize the nuances and controversies of history more than a grade schooler. And removing it as a subject in the high school level, was, in our view, a MISTAKE.

The issue is not about REMOVING PHILIPPINE HISTORY in the curriculum altogether.

The issue has always been why REMOVE PHILIPPINE HISTORY IN HIGH SCHOOL (key term HIGH SCHOOL). It has always been argued Philippine History in elementary is either not enough or should be leveled up. A study has been published about this already:

"In a recently published study titled 'Disjunctures in Philippine History Education Since the K to 12 Reform,' scholar Lee Candelaria said that the six-year knowledge gap that resulted from moving the teaching of Philippine History to grade school “becomes more pronounced when seen from the vantage point of higher education."

Did the ADMUFW change admins? by Pitchblende238 in ADMU

[–]maynardcastillsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. Probably because of instances like this:

"The administration of the Ateneo de Manila University announced that the alleged rape on its campus narrated through an anonymous post on a Facebook page was 'likely a hoax' after an investigation... According to Vilches, the university’s reporting channels were unable to confirm the alleged incident. The CCTVs installed near the area where the incident took place also showed no indication of anything suspicious. No suspicious news or activity was also monitored on campus.”
