Graduating from a reputable school always proves to be a good thing as it opens doors of opportunity for the fresh graduate. More often than not, you get job offers left and right and sometimes you won’t even have to apply. Read the rest of this entry »
Enrollment is currently ongoing in schools from preschool to college nationwide. We already see more schools getting commercialized via print ads and billboards all over the metro. I never thought schools would even need advertisement save for the usual word of mouth system that has been ongoing for decades if not centuries now. Read the rest of this entry »
Today’s generation are truly blessed. They are given the option to not just work from home but also study from home. Can you imagine all that savings from transportation and food allowances? As technology breezes through new highs every time, we really should expect these convenient things coming up.
But experts actually challenge people to think and reconsider the quality of education from online classes. It is always best to look into feedback from companies who have actually hired graduates from such online schools. GMAT prep is one of the few that I have heard about. It really is just a matter of researching and learning which ones to go to. It will spell how you will fare in your future career.
For a whole bunch of the population, school supplies shopping is done and over with at this time of the year. But for us, homeschoolers (having a more flexible time), we practically have time in our hands.
Another benefit that we recently experienced is not having to call a “no class day” for just about any reason. While schools all over the metropolis are suspending classes, if not for the H1N1 virus scare, the typhoon crisis- we were right at home treading the waters of Preschool with Ace and Christi.
Homeschoolers do the school supplies shopping and we enjoyed it through and through. We did that early last week. We jumped from one bookstore place, NBS to office warehouse where we got my son’s cork board, globe and other office furniture. These office and school supply stores just have the same or very minimal difference in prices. While office warehouse in Robinson’s Metro East have a friendlier layout than NBS. As expected, NBS can be pretty cluttered because of a lot of children’s supplies and knick knacks for school. Having both of these in one establishment benefits the public in comparing prices and shifting from here to there to check for items availability.
Philippine Normal University. This school is supposed to be the country’s best school to mold future top notch teachers. I don’t know but in the two days that I attended their famous review classes, I am really disappointed. Should I say that this school has been over rated? Maybe. Maybe not. I’m not really sure. The fact that it is their first time to hold this review schedule might just be the reason.
First day- the lecturers on English and Literature were good ones. A command of expertise on their subjects are evident. But the third speaker on Sociology just drained the patience out of me, even of the other reviewers inside the auditorium. I swear almost half of the class were sleeping. He did not have the slightest command of expertise on the subject that he is lecturing about. His monotone voice definitely just lulled everyone to sleep. He kept on running in circles while he was discussing. He would jump from one topic to another, without warning. In fairness to the speaker, I honestly believe that he is not the one assigned to do the lecture. The fact that he came in 40 minutes later than scheduled backs this theory. The “original” lecturer must have gone MIA or something, and he was just pulled out of nowhere to do the job.
The second day, which was yesterday after the first lecturer on Filipino was done, we were left to wait for more than one hour. Count, one hour and 15 minutes, until all of us reviewers agreed to just have our lunch and get right back after. Tell me, where was this school’s decency to at least get someone to the auditorium and announce that the lecturer for Science is not showing up. This is them communicating “disrespect” for the reviewers who enrolled for the review. Yes I am upset. And if they do not do anything to explain what happened the first two days of the review classes, I will always have this “tag” on them. They just can’t take the reviewers for granted like this just because they have a good reputation. These experiences I had in this school give them a bad name and if they don’t shape up and get themselves organized, word of mouth will have it and people will know eventually.
