I seek for your invaluable support to my advocacy; please disseminate this email to your colleagues.
With much gratitude,

[1] Right from the start, children’s scope of knowledge will be deliberately limited. Only several years later will they find out how ill-equipped they were made to deal with adult life.

[2] Graduates are mass produced due to lax requirements. Underemployment surges further as companies are cautious not to accept the same graduates as routinely as they were allowed to finish school.

[3] Those who do find employment face an undocumented but observable ceiling in advancement a few years into their job. By now they also find that their respective HR departments have reservations as to how trainable they could be for advancement.

[4] The public notice that despite all the experts’ harping on “improving” Philippine education several years before, they are sorely proven wrong. The poor lose any faith they might have had left in the educational system, the middle class start to question whether it’s still worth keeping the kids studying here, and the wealthy send all (not some) of their kids abroad to study.

[5] The unemployed poor rise in far larger numbers, and more people desperate for work accept employment that gives even less pay and zero benefits, takes more hours, fewer opportunities, and worse overall working conditions. Showbiz, politics, basketball, and shedding dignity at Wowowee become even more attractive shortcuts to making money.

[6] More of the middle class focus their energy in attempting to leave the country for a better life, while those who can’t are funneled to work for call centers and below-the-line promotion TPAs. (This part already sounds very familiar.)

[7] Those who manage to go abroad find that the jobs available to them despite their having graduated are cleaning toilets, pumping gas, and wiping floors of fastfood restaurants.

[8] While every other family struggles to get food on the table and secure some money to insure against illness, the politicians who spend taxpayers’ money as their own pay no attention to the economic woes Escudero’s brilliant idea has created.

It would be very interesting if Chiz’s own children were put through the same educational system he’s proposing.

How can that statement of his be misrepresented??? Yang mga subjects na ‘hindi niya nagamit’, mga basic high school subjects yan sa developed countries, countries which are developed precisely because they focused on science, math, and technical skills.

To say these are ‘higher’ math subjects is insulting to Filipinos. Kung kaya ng Hapon or Finn yang mga subjects na yan in High School ibig sabihin ni Chiz walang kapasidad ang Pinoy at the same level??

Higher math subjects eklat…basic subjects nga yan eh.

No To Chiz! Ipalaman sa basur!

There is more politics in education than on the emphasis on “learning”
Politics influences more the changes in our curriculum and educational system than “a well-grounded body of research”…How sad is that?

bulag ka kung sa pananaw mo namumulitika lang si Chiz, malamang kumikita ka kay GMA, kami gising sa mga kalokohan ni GMA, DI KAMI UTO-UTO!

kung malaking kasalanan sayo ang pagiging matuligsa ni Chiz, samin malaking kasalanan ang pagnanakaw ng tropa ni GMA sa atin kasi buwis ko ninanakaw nila GMA. Mas okay na maingay ang senador may nakukuha kaming balita sa mga kalokohan nila GMA, kaysa sa tahimik na mga senador na nambubutas na nga ng bangko di pa makanti si GMA kasi takot di datnan ng pork barrel nila.

paki ko kung di mo siya iboto, di lang boto mo magpapanalo sa kanya no, marami kami.

saka kung ngitngit ka dahil pogi si Chiz, di na ninyo maiaalis sa kanya yun bigay na sa kanya yun ng kapalaran, inggit ka lang. Siguro pangit ka rin gaya ko pero di ako inggitero.

Three years ago, Chiz Escudero was asked to ba a speaker in a youth IT congress in quezon city. Before his turn on the stage, he asked the organizers if he can say anything bad about GMA. The organizer replied, “sure you can. here in the University, you can say whatever you please.” Of course, when it was finally his turn to speak, this was Chiz’s opening line, “Bago po ako nagsalita, nagpaalam ako sa mga organizers kung pwede akong magsalita against GMA. Hindi po ako pinayagan. Subalit magsasalita pa din ako laban kay GMA.” His fans roared and applauded the guy to high heavens. Galing di ba? Nagpabango at the expense of the organizers!

Now say whatever you want about his exploits in the senate (which consists mainly of bashing Gloria Arroyo), his eloquence, or hell, even his looks. A candidate who engages in such blatant politicking (ang bata pa trapo na) does not deserve my vote.

lawyers and artist; we already have lots of them.. in fact, we already have so many of them that they are literally littered all over government..

lol, i just realized that my curriculum looked a lot like Germany..

A long time ago I talked to a Korean who was disccusing a good time for dawn prayer in the Philippines a certain time of year. I didn’t know the sunrise time, but he figured it out based on some information about latitude and the calendar time. I asked him how he figured that out, was he an astromer or such. No, he got this all from high school.

Knowledge is valuable not in its specific form, but as Knowledge in the abstract, a conceptual schema about the world, an idea about how science and mathematics and art and computers and the internet and the whole shebang, the glorious heritage of modern civilization work. People like Chiz, they totally don’t get it.
