In my days, the homework is a big burden because it feels like the teacher is giving us a punishment. Why make the student write 2 pages in the notebook for the homework when that part of the lesson is better to be discussed in the classroom? But on the other hand, one teacher said that the...

We call it GMRC for Good Manners and Right Conduct. It used to be a subject in grade school where we learned how to greet a person, how to give respect to the elders and how to behave in places that you go to. Now that the subject was removed in the curriculum then I guess that it is the parents...

Some friends say they felt something different after staying at home for 3 weeks. The family bonding became stronger and probably it is because of the constant togetherness. Some say that they have learned new hobbies or activities. But for me, doing the house chores like fixing the stock room...

When I was young, we had only 1 tv set at home so that the entire family would be watching what my father was watching. But now it seems like there is tv in every bedroom. Worse, there's also the phone that can be used for internet. So how could you control your kids on what to watch on tv or...

My husband was offered an English lesson teaching job for Koreans. He used to be a workshop lecturer and he is good in teaching that's why I was surprised when he refused the job. He said that teaching in the classroom is already a practice with unwritten rules like the decorum. Online teaching...

There is a newspaper columnist here who said that students are now more on the mobile games than tv. Maybe I can agree to that because I can see in social media the posting of the game scores that I think was automatic for the app or the website. The watching of tv is easy to control but I don't...

It is natural for a person to have favorites. Even with parents favoritism is common. But no matter what the teacher feels for a particular student it should be subtle and controlled. I had experienced having a teacher with a favorite student. It was not a good influence to the students who were...

The most exciting years for me is the elementary years because there were so many discoveries. That is also the period when I learned to read and write. Isn't it great to learn arithmetic and the proper manners? But high school is the happiest part of the schooling years for me. Those...

In our neighborhood it was common for a college student to find work. That means they will be working from 8 am to 5 pm and go to school to attend the evening classes from 6 pm to 9 pm. That was a hard task but I know of so many working students who were able to earn a college diploma and with...

I am torn in this issue because it is a big expense to provide the LGBT with their own toilet but I also understand their inhibition when it comes to personal activities like going to the bathroom. But I guess gay people have to just use the toilet that is designed for their physical structure...

My take on the social media regarding students is both good and bad. If social media is used for a noble purpose then I’d say it is good but if it is used for trolling or spreading lies to smear an enemy then you can see the negative aspect. Generally social media is created for connecting to...

You hit the nail on the head. Being explorative will most likely cause the students to try the condom for size, so to speak. It is good if the testing of the condom is by himself but what if he tries to find a partner to try it? The condom is a very personal item that should be not bandied in...

In this digital age that we now see the state of condition of the people all over the world it is only right to introduce civic work to students. In one school inside our village they have a feeding program for the poor every first school day of the month. They will be going to public schools to...

You are right with the isolation especially when the student is introvert there is a tendency to submit poor quality output whether in homework or in seatwork. But working with a group means there is interaction and the idea that no one will do the work by himself gives shy students the...

I think it is not only the thicker paper of the books that was changed but also the contents. Textbooks are now having more contents which means more pages. But I guess printed textbooks will be obsolete in the years to come. They will give way to the digital form of books that will be available...
