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...

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...

Do you think it is wise to introduce the students to money matters? First is the value of money particularly in making purchases like we need to find cheaper prices. Second is buying the quality good that is worth our money. Basic businesses like selling or brokering can also be discussed. That...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

This event is one big deal for students so all schools should observe or celebrate this occasion. It is the opportunity of the students to have a better bonding not only with the classmates but also with the school mates and faculty members. Most of the school fair here are held for 2 days or...

This is a common problem with students because there was a study that more than half of the class do not want to recite in the first week of classes. Fortunately the number goes down as the weeks pass which means the students were just trying to acclimatize themselves with the classroom. Perhaps...

I’m sure most of us here have attended the prom or the ball during high school. It’s just sad that I was not able to experience that because I was in an all-girls school from grade school to high school. It looked exciting to attend a party with the boys of my age. Parents and teachers should be...

It is actually called agri-tourism where the field trip is to the farm. Students would see the actual planting and harvesting of food from the farm. This immersion trip is for the purpose of learning the quality and value of the food from the farm. Health is getting to be a priority in the...

Our school had a small campus and the only other subjects we have aside from academics are Physical Education and Home Economics. It would be great if we had a gardening subject especially now that environment and ecology are into our consciousness. Children should be taught the value of...

It is sad to see the news report on tv about the high school students who were arrested for peddling marijuana to the students inside the school. That incident is a big blow to the educational system that gives an impression of laxity. If a student can bring in marijuana inside the campus then...

I was surprised to learn that in some public schools here there is a monetary prize given during the so called recognition day to honor students at the end of the year. We didn’t have that in our school and I think that is one good motivating factor not only for the student but also for the...
