The truth
recently came our adopted daughter home from school and kicked off spontaneously: "Dad, at school I wanted to today, the next test . We still have to pay a 'balance' open more than 6,000 pesos? "
"I have no idea. . That's the mother, who first comes home later, "I replied
But she was now so easy not to." Scare away "because there was probably more to it, as it turned out the same
So she went!: "They wanted to just 1,900 pesos, which I paid for and the rest is 'Scholarship'"
"Wow, I'm thrilled! If we are your school now costs less because you get a scholarship which I find really great! "
But frankly surprises me that because we are with their performance not really satisfied. For if we ask a question that comes as a result far too often a "ambot long" (do not) or a "siguro (maybe). And since I already the school of our adopted daughter with the whole school system behind it, have not yet quite understand it, I told her, "So when Mama comes, then you explain that again her closer!"
"OK." and so she went first again.
Later when my wife came home and rushed the girl to meet her equally full of pride with the news, "Mama, today I get Scholarship!"
My wife is still far less satisfied with their school performance than me and she asked "Huh?" And for what? To which the candidates for the scholarships? "
This should be mentioned that only a few days earlier, the Report Card (interim report) was that my wife picked up at school. Now we were somewhat surprised that their grades improved slightly again, although they are actually a somewhat "lazy" feeling during the last quarter, behind us lies, as in the previous quarter. Therefore, my wife asked the teacher, after the services detail. But what she had heard there, the other parents will delight little. For the parents pay the equivalent of about 30,000 pesos per year, but performances are so bad that you must assume that at most half of the children in the next class is offset further! Now this is indeed a private school, which is not the cheapest of their "level", but the school and the Teachers really that bad? Or the children too stupid and too lazy or simply are not enough parental attention?
The skills and knowledge are in the class is objectively very bad. That on a seventh-graders are expected internationally seen as the 1x1 or a note upgrading the "Projects". For this is the flip side of the school system: who is busy or parent has to "keep a blind eye to sometimes just" are not always and then motivate the children, for example, participate in group work or craft projects, "can his ratings significantly improved visually. But what does that say except better grades, on the actual skills and knowledge? Nothing! Sun had I noticed that although computational methods can be learned, but for lack of other permanent exercises come much too quickly forgotten. Even current knowledge of the Philippine provinces or the historical knowledge of the Philippine national hero, Rizal, are at our youngest and more lasting presence than in our adoptive daughter who was to have 4 classes ahead. A fact of great concern to us is correct. Because we believe that our children must be measured in a few years internationally, where a harsh wind blows. And then the great wonderment begins on the non-recognition of training! Depending on which college it then handed ...
way the latest: Today she came home and brings us the news that their classmate was (14 years old) pregnant. Class, but the knowledge ranged from probably just yet, although there a whole day administered a few "aunties", a kind of "sex education lessons" ... When we inquired what had stuck with her, came the reply that the girls in front of the adult men (such as uncles, older brothers, father, neighbors, etc.) should be careful. With so much does not matter, more a! And 16 years for the girl's boyfriends, the largest Schmuss is drooling at the neck in any danger? Na Prost Mahlzeit! But that is a separate History ... My, my grad is bad ...
But let's see behind the scenes. The children were previously in virtually all public elementary schools before coming to this private high school. Suddenly, parents have to pay relatively big money and then expect to pay the school fees alone is sufficient for good grades! That was in crisis meeting (see Part 1 ) came quite clearly. Whether the children learn or know what? No matter - the main thing good grades, but ultimately the parents have paid for! The understanding of parents for education - a total failure! Since it is not surprising that the children are arrogant Rotznasen, their knowledge and skills rarely reach the 1x1 out! The parents have no money to pay the school and the children throw but the money around, as it would grow on trees. This explains, then, as the one-eyed man is king among the blind! Say someone comes to the Scholarship. For in-house services should not be rich, there are lots of group work can also be used hard work and many work as the "Projects" as a means of improving grades! And if that still is not enough, then you can still get hold of extra points for general services such as cleaning up or cleaning up ... In further developments we wait very excited.
But how was it before in the Public Elementary School? I well remember the day last year, when the child was given his report card and I looked at it for the first time intense! I still freeze up in terror when I think about it ...
