Quality Education where are you at?

Just another busy Thursday (^._.^)ﾉ

To all those students out there, you are doing a good job so you better keep going.

Education. One of the most important thing we can acquire. It's like discovering new places and finding the world broad and indeed wonderful. Education give us opportunities to improve or break a cycle of unfortunate things. How can we say that someone is a well educated person? I think it's not just about the degree a person holds, or how many certificate, trophies, and medals they received. It's also about the dept of your understanding, how much solutions you can hive in certain problems. Also, it defines someone who can understand people's situations and be able to help and give consideration. It's not about how many math problems you can solve with ease, or numbers of debate you can win. It's also about your character.

I think we all deserve a quality Education. A good system that will help us develop our skills and improve our weaknesses. We've been studying almost 50% of our lives, but how much learning can we actually get?

I want to share something that's a bit alarming. It's the quality Education that one of the colleges here in our area. I am not generalizing and putting the blame to all the teachers of this school, or saying that this college has a poor quality education as a whole. This is just one of the things that make education poor that I myself have witnessed.

My sister is an Elementary Education student. So yeah she's a future educator. They have a lot of paper works and demo teaching that will help them in their future career and of course train them as a teacher. My sister told me that they paid someone to do their research and just submitted it to the prof as if they did that. For me, it shouldn't be like that, because they should learn how to do it themselves. Actually a lot of people let someone do their research in exchange of payment, I can understand them. Being a student is difficult that sometimes things go out of hand and also because of lack of time. Also, if you're course isn't actually focus on doing such thing, I think it's fine to let someone do it. But, you should at least read and understand the contents.

My sister asked me if I can finish it since they can't pass it yet because they have to follow their prof's format. I was like "you'll just follow the format like change the Section Title, pages, and all, it's not that hard" (told this in a most soft tone that I can). Since she's from the old curriculum, she didn't experience doing research, one of her groupmate doesn't have laptop and live far from here, while the other one is not helping at all (that's why gets ko naman bat pa sila nag bayad). I told her to show me the file and upon reading it I immediately asked her "did your prof check this?". That's the paper that they paid for ₱700 and they were told it's already done like Chapters 1-5 and they submitted it to their prof and all they have to do is to revise the format BUT I SWEAR THIS IS NOT FINISH AT ALL 😭😭 LIKE DID YOUR PROF EVEN OPEN THIS?? okay okay I am not boasting my abilities but what?? they were told that the one who made that action research went to national competition for research paper, and as I read it, the title is not even connected with the Statement of the Problem. The one who did it went National but don't know the basic rule that in research, you can't use "I, we" but rather use "the researchers/proponents"?? They got scammed.

What stresses me more is they submitted it as a proposal but the prof just didn't realize how messed up the paper is. The conclusion is really funny that if I am the prof, I will surely give you failing grades if you will not revise it. They can't do a proper conclusion because they didn't perform surveys. They don't even have results aside from the number of males and females in that particular grp of ppl who are their respondents. No survey data, no results, of course no conclusion. It's sad to know that the prof did not check their work. Like, how about those who exerted effort and time to finish it? How about those who need his/her guidance to improve? Research is not soley the basis of quality education but the point is, that prof is teaching future educators, so, that prof want his/her students not to check works submitted to them as well?

Told my sister, no, I can't do this in one night because I have my own manuscript to revise, if ever I don't have maybe I can do it. I have to start all over again since Statement of the problem palang di na connected how much more yung flow. They end up paying again to fix it, I hope it'll be fix and this time hoping the one they got is decent one. Maybe even they don't fix it and just revise the format the prof won't know but for me, if I will do it, I want to make it right. I know that professors have a lot of tasks given to them, but they give tasks to students too so it's part of their responsibilities ;((
