    Energy conservation lessons

    Do you think the grade school students should be introduced to energy conservation for purposes of preserving our planet? There is an ongoing program in some school about ecology that students are being aware of the pollution and global warming issues. The main fare is the recycling of things so...

    No uniform, no entry

    It is a necessity for an organization to have a uniform as part of their identity and image. Even companies and business firms have their uniform so it is only right that students and teachers should be required to wear the identity of their school otherwise it is like being rebellious when you...

    Free condom for high school students vs HIV

    That was like our culture in the olden times when sex education was unheard of in school. Even parents do not discuss sex at home that the topic is like between the husband and wife only. But now it is the modern time when sex is a common topic that girls get pregnant outside of marriage and...

    Issue of being gay

    With the LGBT getting a voice in the society, the teachers now should be careful in noticing a gay student for he may get in hot water. A gay student has a right to complain against discrimination and the teacher will always be a culprit in the eyes of the public even if the teacher has no...

    Monetary prizes for honor students

    This of the poor students who strive to finish schooling even if they have to walk to school. The monetary prize will surely give them the inspiration to work even harder in their studies. And I guess it is not only the students but also the parents who would say that the prize money for an...

    No junk food and soda in school canteen

    I understand what you mean by the starting point and that the students will get used to drinking water instead of soda. But the point in this issue is the freedom of choice and not really the health reasons. I guess all parents would agree to the ban for health reasons but the freedom of choice...

    Student selling snacks in the classroom

    There was a student who was suspended when I was in grade school. I think we were in grade 4 when that incident happened. Our teacher caught a classmate selling snack items inside the classroom. The teacher reprimanded her but on the second time she was caught the teacher reported her to the...

    Using social media to aid in the reading and writing lesson

    Some children are born readers, so to speak, because they easily learn how to read. Some children are also born writers for the same reason that they easily learn how to write. I have been thinking that if you introduce social media to the child then he will have the motivation to learn reading...

    Teaching health consciousness to grade school students

    This reminds me of a classmate who would buy stationery and fancy note pads with her lunch money. We were not aware that she was not eating lunch often because of her obsession with such school supplies. One time she got sick and we learned that she had stomach problems not sure if it was ulcer...

    How Do You Encourage Students To Read?

    I think that is a good way of persuading your child to read – to inform her that a well-read person has benefits to gain in the long run. Giving her an incentive to pursue her reading lessons is also good although it will really depend on the kind of child that you have. There are children who...

    Phone curfew of children at night

    Do you think it is a good idea to ban the child’s use of the phone at night? Having a curfew for the phone will minimize the distraction of the school children so they can have a good night’s sleep. This is especially true for high school students who have the propensity of using their phone...

    Smoking inside the classroom

    Gee, that is really one heck of a deed for a teacher. I wonder why the students do not complain. I don’t think it is a valid reason to say that old habits die hard because smoking is not just an old habit but a bad habit especially now that there are studies pointing to the second hand smoke as...

    Importance of holidays and vacations for the students

    You're right with the burnout that it is not only the students who should be given a vacation but also the adults. I can imagine a hard-working student who is very diligent with his studies that he does his homework with quality and he studies his lessons at home even when there is no exam. It...

    Dance competition

    In this age of reality shows on tv I guess the dance competition will be fully appreciated by the students of the school. It is one way of camaraderie and bonding among the students. What if each class will have a representative for the school’s dance competition? That would be a big deal...

    Opinion About Removing Filipino Subject

    This is one sad topic for the Philippine educational system because it is like disowning your own native language in favor of a foreign language. I understand that you should have a mastery of your native language at age 18 but I guess we can still do with a little grammar lessons and...

    Free condom for high school students vs HIV

    Would you believe that there is a proposed law by the department of health to distribute free condoms to high school students of public schools? That is really outrageous and we are hoping that the health department people will stop in pursuing that initiative. Giving condoms to people is like...

    How should the educational system be changed?

    My take on the current education system is the waste of time because we have to admit that a one year of schooling can be done in half the time – for 10 months of the school year calendar can be tapered to 5 months. That means education can be hastened and a college graduate at age 22 will have...

    Watching late night tv show

    There are popular late night shows on tv here that some students lack sleep because they watch the show. That is one topic in the campus so they feel like an outcast in the conversation if they have not watched the said late night show. Teachers are having a hard time in telling the students to...

    Quality education vs poverty

    The high standard schools here are populated with a great majority of students from wealthy families and maybe just about 1% or 2% are poor students literally. That is one reason why the demography is not changing in terms of education because the poor remains poor since the education of their...

    How to deal a child who is intelligent than their teacher?

    I know of some cases like this although we really cannot directly say that the student is more intelligent than the teacher. Maybe the kid is just so smart for his age and with a superiority complex then he will really excel. Students with high intelligence should be moved to an experimental...
