Don't you know that many countries all over the world now are hiring many americans to teach English in their countries? I live in the U.S., many of my friends daughters, sons, & others left United States to teach other countries? like Japan, Germany, or a lot in Europe countries, or even communist countries like china, venezuela, etc. because the world is changing now? Philippines is very successful in educating kids using English & tagalog early in school, and it should be taught in early years. We have so many dialects in the Philippines, we used it, if we don't understand each other we used English or tagalog just like we people here in the U.S. who came from the Philippines. The idea of what? the kids are not learning in school because kids are taught English? really? But I learned a lot, you can not blame the kids, Blame the teachers, a lot of them are not good in teaching, plus, the school system there is too many kids per classroom. The Teacher is the problem, I am 99% sure of that. Education is competitive, there are smart & weak even in your family.

]]> Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:06:04 UTC 5018217 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5016892?utm_medium=rss I believe that Mother Tongue-based Multi-Lingual Education is an effective educational reform which can improve the deteriorating quality of education. This reform upholds basic principles of learning, that if a child starts to learn foundational lessons based on his mother tongue, learning would easily take place. Since we are a multi-lingual country, innovation like this is both practical and scientific. As a teacher trainee in Japan from year 2005 -2007, I can prove that this holds true.

Instead of pushing for policies that will get the people be more literate and functional as members of the society, our politicians insist on such policies that will only serve their own selfish interests, and the interests of their imperialist masters.

And my experience in tutoring first year high school students in Mathematics I tells me that students learn and understand mathematical concepts better when the subject is taught in Filipino. It's important that they have a mastery of their first language before learning a second language.
