August has just ended a few days ago and the month of September comes in wherein the enrollment for students takes into play. Since the pandemic started the learning style of the students had to change, from face to face classes to modular or online schooling. Many students were affected by this sudden change due to the pandemic. Their learning style turned 360 degrees and it's causing a lot of trouble to some students who are in far flung areas which internet connection is not that good.
Can we break from this curse that's binding us for so long now? Can we go to school just like before creating good and bad memories inside those four cornered classrooms?
I'm really hoping that one day , we will wake up early in the morning again , have our breakfast , brush our teeth, take a bath then wear our ironed or hand ironed uniforms and attending flag ceremony ,singing our National anthem proudly with our hands in our chest. I missed the days when my routine is like this. Wherein I'll ride in a jeepney then I'll forget to pay my fair. haha. Tell me I'm not the only one who experienced it , drop a comment so that we can remember all our epic moments in jeepneys.
As I said that this new set up of schooling really bring trouble to some students just like my cousin that live in the mountains. I've been there and the internet connection there sucks, it's letter E connection. I'm struggling browsing the net when I'm there so I just play offline games in my phone and no more.
Regarding that super slow internet connection in their place, she asked me to enroll her in a school where she will be studying as incoming Grade 7. The enrollment form is in docs google so an internet connection is needd but when she tried, it didn't even load a single page of that docs lol.
This is the enrollment form in that school. I thought her enrollment form is printed but not and I found it not cool, why? Because who would make an enrollment form like this one when the internet connection in their place is super slow and not all students have access to gadgets. I know it because I live there for how many months and I witnessed some of their life. I'm just hoping that they gave out printed ones as backup for those without access to the internet.
I had high hopes that they did but it seems they didn't according to my cousin and when it comes to that it's really really bad. How would those student fill up the form then. As a student trapped in this cage, they would do everything for their studies. Can you believe me when I say to you that some of the students in that particular area go to various locations particularly in high parts just to catch some strong connection. They even climb a tree for the sake of that online schooling.
It's just really sad sometimes that some students have some inconsiderate teachers that they will fail the students grades for not submitting a single activity. The students even explained the reason why they didn't submit but some teachers have deaf ears and close minds to understand those students. Is it the students fault that they can't submit? NO. Blame the connection, not the students because they don't have any control in those connections being fast or slow.
I really admire people with profession as teachers because they've become the second parent for a child. Those some teachers with bad conduct making the image ugly. I know that we are just humans but some of them are doing it on purpose to discriminate a fellow human.
Success, I finished enrolling my cousin in her chosen school for Grade 7 and they just bring some needed documents to that school to be enrolled officially.
I also finished answering the forms of my two other cousins to be enrolled in Grade two and grade 6 this school year. They will study in my previous school in Elementary. Gladly that my teachers before will be their teachers again and they are lucky because those teachers are not just kind but also they have an open ears and mind to assist their students to grow up.
Their passports has been set up and not too long they're about to receive their thick modules again, some of those modules are not even clear and closely to non-readable so how the students will study those modules. I can say it because I've been teaching my cousin back then when he was in grade 5 then I encounter some parts where in it's not clear and the questions are even asking for colors yet the modules was in black in white. So you know what I did, I labeled the drawing with the colors present in choices. I became an editor in that moment lol.
I also encountered some pages of the modules wherein the student is asked to anwer in a paragraph form but the space is just for 2 sentences and I'm like " Is this for real" haha. I'm just really hoping that their modules this school year would be good as the original copies because believe me, they can't study it well if they can't even understand what is written in those modules.
And that concludes my article for today. A realization to what is going on in our school system now and my experienced regarding those modules. Goodluck to those studying this school year. Thank you for reading this far friends and see yah in my next articles.
Look Shizu is finally on board on top of my mosquito net. haha. What a cat.

That is really true. The system of education today is really challenging for the students and the teachers as well. The thing is the two must meet half way to pursue one common goal and that is to educate the children.
