it just sucks. period.

after muntinlupa day, we step inside the classroom. everything goes well until we hit algebra. it seems that ms. ortiguero has been ordered to give us these worksheets about overpopulation. it goes on in filipino, english, and cl. (there always seems to be a fruitful discussion in english. lol.) heck, it goes on in t.h.e., and lo and behold, we were crestfallen as ms. ruiz announces more worksheets. (at least she has enough heart to discuss it with us! unlike ortiguero; she just leaves us to our own devices.)

to be honest, at first, i thought it seemed interesting (maybe because the first activity was going to the CAI lab, sir porn's territory). during the next day, in the damned worksheet #2 in algebra, we were all annoyed because we do not like analyzing bad mimeos of graphs. at least, ortiguero was aware that we all hated worksheet #2.

the only LCLE i liked was the one about modernistic poems.

it has already been confirmed that the innovator of this useless teaching strategy is the dear principal (yet againnnnnnnn. although i do not enjoy ranting about you anymore, i am once again compelled to.) and it was clear that the teachers didn't like it too. (i, for one, noticed this already in the tone of ortiguero's voice. and another thing; i've just been informed that this teaching strategy was recommended by the paascu.) why must the HEAD of the whole damned administration be a puppet of the PAASCU? and he/she/it told the teachers (when they were voicing out their negative feedback) that they should try it for 2-3 days before complaining.

guess what: we've tried it, and we didn't like it. we did not learn anything except that the philippines is an overpopulated dump. i'd like to see you sit in one of our armchairs (not mine, though) and take the carpets of worksheets given to us. please. i dare you.

graphing the population growth rate is useless. learning info about contraceptives is rather useful.

anyway, i'll let it go since it's the first time something unfortunate like this has happened to us. the next time you want to get a point across, do not give us carpets of worksheets. tell us we're so overpopulated and we need to cut it down, and we'll believe you.
