@aklokow Was this information from a private or public school?

@daytradersteve13 From a private school in Cavite and also public schools in Quezon province and Tagatay, I do not want to mention any school names, just merely asking for any feedback or maybe contradicting what I have experienced.

If you want to live in Philippines your children must go to pilipina escuela, so they can speak the language of their country.聽 Level is better than in US, children stand up when teacher enter the class room and they obey to the teacher!

@aklokow You may want to seek out an international school in your area for a comparable curriculum. I would say there is a big difference between private schools and public schools' educational system. Additionally, as someone from the USA, and has issues with the current systems here, I would almost bet that a private school with a Christian foundation would be a priceless commodity.聽

Sir, please don't take this the wrong way. I don't know if you are Filipino or not. But the above writing is exactly why kids need real schooling with structure, and testing. You may not have been taught English, or maybe you were but it was not proper English, or not enough of it. But the sentence structure above is really, bad. I get it. English is not your first language. That's ok.

Many of us expats that grew up with English also understand, and actually try to help or guide our Filipino friends/lovers/wives with how to for proper sentences in English without ridicule, but with an honest desire to help. I have a niece about 11 that is super shy about speaking English to me. So I encourage her by asking questions that require something more than yes/no. But still keep it simple. Sometimes if she's here overnight or for the day, I will task her to read up on something. Like a historical Filipino name or something and give me a simple written report of what made that person famous. She learns Filipino history, and English at the same time. Then I reward her with 50p as part of the deal. She's opening up on her shyness with me and English. But still mostly shy/quiet. My wife has a 6th grade education. But she was shipped off to Manila to work at age 14 or something. The good part is she learned English better there dealing with foreigners in the restaurant. And in the digital age, she taught herself more by reading a lot online. But I am also and have been for 9 years, helping her with English. Especially sentence structure.

Not sure where my thoughts are going with regards to the school part. But I think in our own little expat worlds, we can help others with patience and happily, by teaching our friends the right word or sentence format and not in a condescending sort of way.

@Larry Fisher

Ezcellent reply and fantastic idea to help each other. The key is the 'want to learn or improve" must be there otherwise it will be pointless.

I am eager to improve my English as it is also not my first language.

Thanks again Larry

I forget to look for the flag. "slaps self" gotta remember that.

Talking about English, especially English accents. There are many ham operators on this forum. In the 1990's individual hams were licensed in the USSR, prior most of their operating was from club stations.

The English they spoke was the Kings English, when you heard one of them it sounded like they were from the UK. After several years they learned聽 Midwest US English. Sometimes you thought an American was calling you.

Thank God they didn't learn Brooklyn English.

I am thinking the KGB spies in the US who operated the numbers station probably spoke perfect American English...but only hams will know what the numbers stations are.馃榿

聽 聽 Hi AllI had a discussion with 3 teachers from very different schools and cities, the reason behind the discussion was related to my plan for homeschooling and to gather more info etc, but not on the home school topic we've been there more on the school system. What I heard from these teachers is that every student will pass irrespective if the student has attended school, has the knowledge, passed the exam etc. This is simply to avoid a lengthy report of why certain kids have failed, also it will affect the budget allocation from the government. So, teachers ensure that all students pass the exams.Now in my little world that is shocking, the standard of education in PH will just go down the drain and now I can also understand why Filipinos are treated in a certain way especially in the Middle East. Companies give no recognition for any degree that is obtained and funny most are business administration degrees. The engineers I came across was also very questionable. This just further my approach to homeschooling, I want my child to know that you have to work hard for your education and the future positions in companies, not just getting it as a handout.Any comment form anyone who have kids in school, do you experience the same or different?聽 聽 聽 聽 -@aklokow

I agree with you and can see why you have reservations about sending your child/children to school and are looking into home schooling. What I would be interested to know is what actual grade the kids who do not attend school or pass the exams get. Does their grade simply get listed P for pass or do they get the lowest grade possible, maybe a D depending on the grading system?聽 What I would say is that I am sure that when they apply for College or University after completion of school, it will be fairly easy for people to see which kids have actually passed and which kids have just been given a pass.

My worry would be that the schools could also be under pressure to show that the kids are actually receiving good grades so if they bump up a grade of B to an A to make the school look better, that would be a problem to me. If on the other hand the grades for the kids that actually do pass are handed out fairly then I would not be so worried.

Please check out the youtube video from Market 44聽 the title is on public schools vs private and also had some content on each聽

Haha yes, Mugsy .. true.

We can only hope that what our OP said isn't true for this tertiary level as well ..

OP Aklokow writes, "What I heard from these teachers is that every student will pass irrespective if the student has attended school, has the knowledge, passed the exam etc. This is simply to avoid a lengthy report of why certain kids have failed, also it will affect the budget allocation from the government."

Don't know, but maybe it is true for some Phils universities? Could be. Guess that's why the various Philippine's Professional Associations all seem to have quite tough professional admission requirements, often including further examinations, after university graduation?

Anyway, good on them too

Cheers mate
