school system (part 1)

Performance classes

For better orientation, I would like today to explain the basis of current examples, the school system. Caveat: in the Philippines, there is no secondary school, secondary school or primary school. With six years, the children are first enrolled in primary school, which here is called "Elementary School". Unlike Germany, where after four years of primary school, the first landmark decision for life (high school, real or primary school) and the course may already be wrong be made, does the Elementary School for six years. After that there is not a commitment to a particular type of secondary school. For there is only a single type - namely, the "High School", which takes binding for all children four years. If you think that's it in terms of decision is mistaken, however. For, in which high school you send your child decide on the future of the child, for "equal" is also often "same" or "extra is"! After high school, the adolescents need to learn a profession that is at a college or University. And in Germany, we also know that the high school graduate from Bavaria as sometimes has the advantage over in Bremen.

Consider times the Philippine school system as a function of ownership. Because there are public schools and almost free to put it rather flippant have only one objective, namely that the children read the catechism of the church and out to learn. Math's is there also, but still hardly enough from the more to service than can a calculator. Critical to ask or even to practice along the lines of criticism of the authorities because you learn not know why too!

Alternatively, there are many private schools that charge fees of about 15,000 per year to 250,000 PHP to PHP per student. Some call themselves the "International School" according to justify higher fees. Because on second glance you will recognize that "international school" is nowhere defined. Who wants to be sure that his children were in the case of relocation to or less "international level" formed and recognized their training in other countries, the price will have to adjust to 250,000 PHP more per year than the 15,000 PHP. There are even schools to be certified on a regular basis internationally (eg from universities in the U.S. or the UK). But then you have to put on it again in some cases even an extra wad of cash, especially if the lessons take place for example in German needs.

but let's look at how for forming the upscale Filipino social class their children. Our adopted child had good grades in public school and so we took the plunge into the private school, which will also provide content "more". But there were with the payment standards of many parents a massive problem that is announced for next school year, a tax increase and simultaneously invited to a crisis meeting of the parents. To understand better the whole price structure, I will break down all the times that I know costs and payment terms here.

payment	purpose	fee
start of school books		4,145.50 PHP
start of school uniforms		1,410.00 PHP
school starts	ID card	150.00 PHP
school starts	Other fees	335.00 PHP
monthly	school fees (paid monthly, 2,300 PHP) this is so together: Tuition Fee Lab Fee 14,767.97 PHP 2,315.00 PHP Misc. distributed Fee 4,165.00 PHP 21,247.97 PHP
	Projects	1500.00 PHP
unique	Field Trip	600.00 PHP
Total	sum	29,388.47 PHP

So in sum payable for a child of about 30,000 PHP and year. When registration of the child then must first 6,500 PHP for basic equipment (books, uniforms, down payment) paid, then monthly (9x = 2,300 PHP 20,700 PHP) and the rest is distributed. The problem, however, what emerges in many Filipino families, is that after the payment of the launch and the first few months of money. The argument is then always very similar: parents live apart, must pay Anullment yet, no work, seriously ill grandmother died, Dad, etc. We know the argument - perhaps I should just write a new book continuous duty, it was always funny ...

The school administration knows that as well! And the parents said very clearly: this is not our problem, but of your - that the problem of parents! It helps that even with a crash course in Mathematics for Beginners: add to reckon rent together, daily cost and then the 2,300 pesos for the school to do so. Then, when the sum is greater than the income, well then the education of children with Nix and neither the pension! As a foreigner I was struck silent, thanks to openness and clarity of the principal, almost the jaws on the floor! But it is something extra: "When you first buy your own shoes and clothes, gamble the money at cards, or treat yourself to other amenities, you destroy the future of your children!" Silence in the box and irritation at the front! There was someone very under pressure!

Now this looks like a winner of the school management, but in reality only a temporary clearance. For the school that is still a problem: they had collected on the last year 16,000 PHP on school fees, they had to pay for the many failures this year the above-mentioned charge around 21,000 PHP. But that is no longer and they announced for next year already have demanded 25,000 PHP. If the impact is already greater inflation, a Philippine labor market crisis or just a "chronic disease of the Filipino culture? However, we know that we will change schools for our adopted child. Not because of the price increase, but because otherwise we are fighting against windmills with education. For all you trying to convey to the child values, is done in school by classmates dashed. So the meeting had a positive effect of all: we saw the parents of children with our Child back to school ...

Oh, and one thing I did not conceal, of course: the school administration pointed out that when students are diligent and what had in mind, so they definitely get a scholarship! Absurd?
No, as realistic as the gospel truth!
