Subject Matter
Among all the country in the whole wide world, the Philippines has the shortest education cycle preparatory to university. Ours is 10 years; the rest of the world is 12. In short, we have a curriculum that, on paper, covers the same subject matter as the rest of the world but which we cram into 10, instead of 12 years.
This means that our teachers take all kinds of short cuts to try to cover the material or just simply do not attempt to cover the entire syllabus in a given year for lack of material time. This shortchanges our children’s education.” Maybe it is true that this is one of the reasons why many Filipino graduates become incompetent as compared to those who graduated from international universities. But the question is, “Are the additional two years in basic education the solution to the arising problems in our educational system?”
Simple Material
A pen is just a simple material used in writing by many people, students, office worker, proffessors, managers or even janitors. Through the pen, we can write everything that we want, our feeling or our emotions. So many things we can write through it which when we were done writing, an art came out. The art of writing poems, novels, bibliography, short stories or drawing of people, buildings, things and many more.
One of my strategies to get over my angry or hatred on my heart is writing. Whenever I get scolded by my teacher, parents or even friends, I will get my pen and paper then go to my room and lock the door. I then write everything inside me, all of my emotions will go to my hand and it will pass through the pen. After doing it, all of the heavy feeling I felt were all gone then I would just fell asleep.
