Nothing beats going to school

                                                     Nothing beats going to school

The style of education during the pandemic is something new to me. Although I have heard of it before, I never really tried it and I was impressed by it. I believe that the quality of education during the pandemic has gone down. But it can still be the same as before if we try harder.

 

                Because studying has gone online, students do not have to work as hard as before. The tasks given to them weekly become more predictable and limited. But without face to face I doubt that the students will learn anything this school year. Going to school is the best public policy tool available to raise skills. While school time can be fun and can raise social skills and social awareness, from an economic point of view the primary point of being in school is that it increases a child’s ability. Even a relatively short time in school does this; even a relatively short period of missed school will have consequences for skill growth. The impact on academic integrity has been observed around the world. A rise in contract cheating and academic file-sharing, and exam cheating were identified as particularly problematic. The system DepEd has developed is flawed because cheating is more possible today than before. It is up to the students if they will restrain themselves from committing these wrongful actions. But it is in our nature to take the easy way out. The saddest thing in the world is wasted talent, and there are many on that road because they are lazy, and they cheat themselves from what they could possibly achieve in life. Be the one that has the courage not to do what is easy, because everyone can do that. I believe DepEd should allow locations without infections of Covid-19 to let students study back in school. The global lockdown of education institutions is going to cause major (and likely unequal) interruption in students’ learning; disruptions in internal assessments; and the cancellation of public assessments for qualifications or their replacement by an inferior alternative. 

What can be done to mitigate these negative impacts? Schools need resources to rebuild the loss in learning once they open again. How these resources are used, and how to target the children who were especially hit hard.

 

                Because of Covid-19 the quality of education has gone down. Disadvantaged families try their best to buy their children gadgets that they can use for their online schooling. DepEd should not disappoint them and should strive harder to better the quality of education.

    Great opinion, we have the same queries about the families who are in need of resources or reliable materials to use for their children. Its just that we have to be resourceful now.

    I totally agree with you. Students have now free access to cheating. Parents trying their hard to buy their children gadgets. As a student, I am really struggling about the tasks given to us and the amount of it and the time span that is given is too short

    I like how your thoughts were actually expressed in detail. Although it almost took forever for me to read it, it is still worth the time as it states straight facts.

Binatbatan Festival

  Let’s start of with some history to this celebration, The Naturales of Vigan chose “Tres de Mayo” of 1883 in honor of Apo Lakay of the Simbaan a Bassit as an act of thanksgiving for having saved Vigan from a deadly epidemic in 1756. It evolved from this and majestically transformed today as the most colorful and significant festival to Bigueños as it focuses on the remembrance of Apo Lakay’s deliverance as well as promoting the local fabric, Abel Iloco. Along with the street pageantry of the Binatbatan Street Dancing, it also emphasizes Agriculture with its Karbo festival, Calesa Parade and the Santacruzan.                   We continue to celebrate this historic event which took place a hundred years ago. This shows our dedication to keeping our culture alive and never forgetting what happened back then. Even though the pandemic rages on, e continue to celebrate but also follow the health safety ...

Women Empowerment

  During the month of March, we give a little extra attention to all the amazing accomplishments of strong, determined women. Women should have the same rights as men and be free and not enslaved by men. We are all human and there is no difference.                   Women should be empowered and be able to express what they want. Being able to vote, having the same rights as a man and being treated the same. These are things that should have been in place for a long time but because of standards back then they were not. Now that we are in the 21 st century it is enjoying seeing that everybody is equal, no one is higher than another. God created us and he did not look at one sex higher than the other, in his eyes we are all the same and we should continue that.                   Empowering girls and women is powerful...

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

  Every three seconds, the world loses enough forest to cover a football pitch and over the last century, we have destroyed half of our wetlands. As much as 50 percent of our coral reefs have already been lost and up to 90 percent of coral reefs could be lost by 2050, even if global warming is limited to an increase of 1.5°C. COVID-19 emergence and spread has highlighted how shrinking the area of natural habitat for animals, can create ideal conditions for pathogens – including coronaviruses – to spread. This World Environment Day, we focus on ecosystem restoration and its theme is “Reimagine. Recreate. Restore.” Ecosystem restoration means healing nature and reversing the damage caused by humans. This World Environment Day will also kick off the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), a global mission to revive billions of hectares, from forests to farmlands, from the top of mountains to the depth of the sea.   We don’t have much time left to save nature. Every mo...
