Yeah, you can call this entry corny.
I’m hooked with “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo”. It’s probably what Jen always tells me whenever I criticize her being hooked with Pinoy Big Brother, “Baket? Wala ka bang kabakyaan sa katawan, ha?!”
This week, the story revolved on the case of Ringo Quijano, the soap’s character with a psychological disorder (particularly bipolar, I guess). Well, aside from Coco Martin’s acting prowess, the character of Ringo Quijano is something very important to analyze in relation to education and admissions.
During the interview phase of the admission for the English majorship, I failed a number of applicants for the simple reason of not being able to pass the (supposed) standards of being an English major. With the way they speak and think, I was able to assess problems that may arise in the future—specifically on how they would handle Major subjects and later on English classes.
Ringo’s case shouldn’t have reached such an extent if Frank and Astrud did not forge Ringos’ medical reports. Flying schools are expected to be very rigid in terms of screening student applicants because pilots are required to be stable physically and psychologically. He shouldn’t have reached such state of depression if he was given a different option earlier in his life.
In the same light, PNU is supposed to have rigid admission policies because PNUans hold the future of the education system. Admitting the unqualified is like starting a small hole and getting it poked repeatedly as time goes by, until everything gets destroyed. Pity should not be the case, because before you know it, the “help” you offered started false hopes.
Nah. Nothing regarding education is corny.
