Teachers, students, parents, and government should not be blamed. An ordinary citizen is also responsible of what we have. We should stop blaming because what you cannot do anything with it. Education is not a sole responsibility of one party, of one group and of one person. Its everybody's concern and therefore, its everybody's responsibility.

A thing becomes a problem when we start thinking of that thing as a problem.

i agree to you Obed, it seems you are very emotional and I have to salute you for that, but when we whink of pointing a problem and giving solution we should also consider not only the emotional aspect.

Educator as I am, i had seen how the government and the people, especially those who give who proclaimed themselves as expert that the problem with education int he Philippines are the teachers which which is in the frontline of teaching the children. My one year of teaching had taught me that it is not always the case, the students and parents must also be blamed... i'll continue this as soon as you comment

I think if you will post a discussion topic, the content should not just be negative. You should point out suggestions that may help to erase the negative.

Anyway, please don't be offended because i don't mean to.

Below is the idea which i kept on thinking for days because I saw this post and i really want to comment on this.

If my comment below is kinda vague please tell me. I may be 14 years old this time but God, my parents, and my teachers taught me well.

Maybe some days later I will go back to this discussion and post a new thought/comment if there are any.

In my view, i can really see the great need of education to every Filipino citizen. There is a poem which I have read some time ago and it says that education of the heart is much more important than the education of the mind. Confuscious agree in this. He said that "Education should not be merely as a means of accumulating knowledge but also as a means of self-transformation. Einsten agree on this also because he said that "Education is what remains after one has forgotten in school".

Here, I am not just saying that the education that we see in schools but i talk about the education that exists in the school of life and the education of the heart.

It is because of the failure of the education of the heart that resulted in the crisis of the education of the mind.
