    Teaching Phonics In A Fun Way

    Oh that is so true. :) Every time I hear my little boy singing each new nursery rhyme that he learns from school, I couldn't help but feel happy and proud. These nursery rhymes are even so contagious that I would also hum with him when he sings. These are just some of the cutest moments between...

    All Ages Physical Education in Techie Times

    I agree TheaR. It's just really worrisome if you come to think of how the future of education would be if this kind of attitude would continue. Our future generation will be the ones who would suffer from the disregard that most school authorities impose upon their institutions.

    All Ages Physical Education in Techie Times

    Even in my son's school right now, I can feel how tight the budget of the school is from the frequent need for new teachers because no one seems to be staying long enough, to the asking of voluntary donations from parents in order to buy more chairs or equipment. During the previous school year...

    All Ages The 4 New Elements in the Periodic Table

    True indeed remnant. This latest development in the world of Chemistry could serve as an inspiration to our future generation. Who knows if one or more among the students of today would be the next Science wiz who will soon discover other elements or invent the next big innovation in Science.

    All Ages The 4 New Elements in the Periodic Table

    So it has been official for quiet a few months now, we have 4 new elements in our periodic table. There's Nihonium (Nh), Moscovium (Mc), Tennessine (Ts), and Oganesson (Og). I'm actually happy to learn about them and it's also good news for me because it has been a very long time since the...

    All Ages Physical Education in Techie Times

    That's the thing because I notice that most schools are becoming more and more about the money than the students they serve. What schools and other concerned authorities don't realize is the negative impact on the quality of education they provide for their students. What's really sad is the...

    Field Trips

    Right. After that incident, other schools also became more cautious in conducting field trips especially the far ones. I guess if there's one positive thing that resulted from the accident is the way it opened the eyes of school administrators to the risks of conducting field trips and their...

    All Ages Physical Education in Techie Times

    I also think it makes a very big impact on the students to always deal with different teachers most of the time, especially when they have already been accustomed to one teacher then the next thing they know they will be having a new teacher again. I could just imagine how hard it is for students.

    Field Trips

    In relation to what you said. I remember this very tragic college field trip which happened a couple of years ago here in my city. The students came from another city by bus to witness our yearly city festival. They met an accident along their way back home and sadly a lot of students died on...

    All Ages Physical Education in Techie Times

    True indeed. Classes are significantly getting larger these days that it's really hard for teachers to be able to focus on the individual needs of their students. Where I live, the number of students significantly increase each year but the number of teachers seem to slowly increase, making it...

    Teaching Phonics In A Fun Way

    I think it's also pretty much the same way as my son's teacher did when she taught them about the proper pronounciation of their ABCs. I really like it when he chants every new song their teacher teaches them even when he's at home. I must admit, even I couldn't help but sing with him and I...

    Field Trips

    I have also noticed the difference then and now. Back when I was still at the same school level as my son now, we used to do several field trips in a year as a way of getting a break from the traditional classroom discussions. I noticed that it's no longer the case now that my son is a student...

    All Ages Physical Education in Techie Times

    I agree with both of you. :) I remember way back then when I was still a student, I'm not really a sporty person so I never really excelled in my Physical Education classes. I also didn't enjoy the standardized activities we had during our P.E. lessons because I wasn't into them. I'm seeing...

    All Ages Physical Education in Techie Times

    I agree. It's mostly the teachers who take all the blame from parents when the truth of the matter is that they're just following what the higher authorities demanded them to do. If they don't follow, this could even cause them their job. Such a sad truth to bear but one which seems to have no...

    All Ages Supporting Your Child's Inner Talent

    You're right pwarbi. :) I have actually noticed my son's social skills improve over the past 2 years that he has been attending regular school compared to his old way of being too shy when in front of new people. His inhibitions lessened gradually and is now actively involved in his school...

    Calculators or no calculators?

    That is really one tough school you are in. lol! :) I understand your point though. When it comes to higher level maths, there are really those types of formulas which require the need of a calculator (a scientific one for most). I do think it's alright for higher levels of education because...

    Field Trips

    I also didn't know that Scientology is also being practiced here in the Philippines. I just thought it is a very rare religion that it wasn't practiced here. Thanks to you for sharing your Philosophy field trip Bea, it's another additional info for me. :) You are so right in saying that outdoor...

    Field Trips

    When I was still a student, I remember the excitement I felt whenever there was a scheduled school field trip. Usually, our teachers would bring us to museums or historical places for us to see and learn things in their real form. Field trips have helped me become more interested and curious...

    Calculators or no calculators?

    I grew up usually using the manual method when it comes to simple mathematics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Our teachers encouraged us to make use of the manual way because it will help exercise our brains more rather than relying on calculators. We have also...

    All Ages Physical Education in Techie Times

    I have also noticed the same. It's really hard to figure out how these people in charge are being delegated to their positions when they have no knowledge about them in the first place. A hierarchy system should just be followed to make sure that the person who has been assigned in the highest...
