Education play a huge role in 'changing' the landscape of philippine society today. If we raise the next generation with the character to progress and to be proactive, i believe we will eventually have a different Philippines. But it involves a lot of partnershp with parents. I believe Oakridge parents have seen the realities of Philippines society, wanted change and wants our country to progress. With this, we need partnership. Everytime we want 'shortcuts' in our chldrens's education, we think again if thats best. Remember it all begins in small things. When we learn to compromise our standards in a small way, we will eventually compromise our principles in a big way. Everything starts small. If we raise our children knowing how to follow rules, obey parnts, not take shortcuts, value hardwork, not compromise, not be a mediocre - i believe we are in a road to a progressive Philippines. But if we give in to every little requests - can i use ipad 5 minutes lang? Can i skip reading tonight lang? Can i not eat vegetables now lang? , we will instill a culture of compromise and tolerance that causes the very big problem in our society today.
