After Recognition and Gradation days, parents are facing another year of schooling for their youngsters. For those who have 2nd - 6th graders, it’s very easy to enroll their children since they know already what to do…not mentioning the atmosphere that is so familiar to them and the comradeship they have built for the past years. If they’ll be attending the same school, they would simply bring their report cards and cash with them and alas! They’re enrolled. So easy isn’t it? But for new students as well as transferees, it’s a bit different and uhmmm longer. First, they have to present the requirements being asked by the registrar such as: 1. *original (for verification) and photocopy of child’s Birth Certificate 2. *1x1 identical recent colored pictures 3. photocopy of F-138 showing the latest grades certified by the Principal 4. certificate of Good Moral Character 5. accomplished Recommendation Form 6. **Alien Certification of Registration or Special Study Permit Pay for the tes...

Let's face it -- English is a crazy language! There's no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So one moose, two meese? One index, two indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you comb through the annals of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn...

I don’t have pupils without their parents especially their mothers who unconditionally love these children. For all the mommies who support their children to gain knowledge from school and help develop their talents, these short messages are dedicated to you: A mom is God’s love in action She looks with her heart, And feels with her eyes. A mom is the bank Where her children deposit All their worries and hurt. A mom is the cement That keeps her family together And her love lasts a lifetime. Great mothers smile in trouble, gather strength from stress, and grow brave by reflection and prayers. Motherhood is a tough 24-hour job: No pay, no day-off Most often unappreciated And yet resignation is impossible. Your existence gives hope to one person. Your smile maybe a pearl for someone. Your presence might be the desire of the one who loves you. Blessings are plenty for people like you who live with love, kindness and thoughtfulness…

Many educators became interested in a wave of new education theories that offered new insights into the way students learn and retain knowledge. Some of these theories, including constructivism and multiple intelligence theory, continue to grow in popularity today. Yet the application of these new theories have not always gone so smoothly: as we shall later see in the debates over whole language and whole math, the enthusiastic rush to apply new theory into practice has not always met with the best results. Professionals, schools and teachers are asserting more control over education management decisions. Non-profit charter schools and for-profit education management organizations offer students public school learning environments that break away from the traditional state-run system. Through school choice, parents can choose to take their students out of poorly run schools and place them into other institutions - including parochial schools in some cases. And an increasing number of f...
