I am a product of K-12 Curriculum. We had FULL face-to-face classes back then and we also had ACTUAL work immersion. But still, when I entered college I went through the harsh phase of "pangangapa sa dilim". The culture shock was insane. If you feel dumb in high school, college will make you realize your feeling is correct. IT'S SERIOUSLY HARD, NO EXAGGERATION ADDED.
So, if you are one of the those shallow people who support the abolishment of K-12 Curriculum, I pity you. I hope you realize how different today's generation of learners are. They are product of online class, they are heavily exposed to social media and most especially, they are self proclaimed entitled learners who mostly assumed that they knew everything but the fact their knowledge is only little about something.
Additional two years in high school is not a waste of money, resources, time or years of any of the party involve. IT'S A MUST. The world is evolving. Incompetence will lead you nowhere. Nowadays, your academics is one of the helpful factors that will give you favorable results in the future—may it be your chosen course, college, career path and other opportunities.
There are some who can't read like a high school student and can't even write a simple excuse letter. How much more if they are already tasked to make their own research paper, case study and the most complex of all, thesis. K-12 is a great stepping stone to be ready for greater challenge. Don't resent on the government for implementing it. You'll see the essence of it soon.
CONTINUE THE K-12 CURRICULUM ‼️
Opinion of Angelica Jane
Are you aware of the current news has been leaked last week up until now? There are people wants to remove the K-12 Program that started by the government. The first implementation of K-12 Program it looks like we are not agree to this, another expenses and another years of Studying. But, as time goes by we understand the purpose of Senior High School that it is just pre-college where students equiped and trained before they go to college. Honestly, there are still students in highschool that even a simple english word they didn't know. I've been a tutor or a teacher for months and I experienced some of my students still didn't know some simple english word. K-12 Program will help them assess their self.
I'll be honest with my opinion that K-12 Program was really a big help for me. I am a product of it and I am proud that it helps me and open new things especially about research. College is not a easy journey and it really needs a preparations for it to take. Imagine, if we don't have senior high school Grade 10 students will be automatically go to first year college and it's not good for them. In my own opinion K-12 Program should be continue because it will help students to gain more knowledge that they will use it for the college level.
Let us be more practical this time and think that the future of our child(ren) is the one who is topic of this problem. I hope that those people who are in charge of this, especially the Department of Education head will think many times because it has an impact if this program will be removed. I have so many relatives that are still young and I don't want them to suffer in the future. I want them to have a quality education but here in the Philippines honestly speaking we have an ugly education and government shoul revised the education system of this country.
Thank You for Reading!

I'm from a country where we've got no K-12. Here it's more of a K-6 pre-curriculum after which the student's must choose a direction for his studies. Whether the student wants (and has the capability) to go the academic route (Choose continued science education) or if the student wants (and qualifies for) the more technical directions. (choose technical practical education). So we go to 1st grade at age 5. Then we go through 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade. In 8th we're tested through standardized aptitude tests to determine where our skills and aptitudes lie. With those test results we can then start to choose the rest of our academic path. We then spend 4 years (usually) from age 13 to 17 studying in that chosen education route before we're ready to go to either work or college/university.
I think this is much better as it gives direction and focus to the academic careers of the children which then get education best suited to them.
