Values Created in the System
of Education in the Philippines
By Heinrich G.
Rabelas
People strive hard for
education as they conceive as the best means of power, money and respect which
is true in the to days world people are more courteous and polite to an educated
man that others , specially those who are well known to society but those
inferiors find themselves always in a junk nobody would give favor unless they
want to use them , these kind of discrimination started even before the time of
bourgeoisie, aristocrat to royal family and to the people of 2000 BC the
trends remained , discriminating people still existing today.
A graduate from refutable Universities or Colleges may have a greater chance for
a Job than anyone who has just finished his degree from unknown school , the
possibility for this man to experience unfairness in job application is expected
, say for an interview , those man from a great schools are always selected as
the first one to be interviewed and more often they name their rate or salary
including their benefit for themselves, in simple word they are the top priority
, for in the first place their papers are already segregated and labeled to
class "A and the possibility for them to get in, depends on them . while they
are being interviewed , there countless of applicants in- line outside and
the number is still increasing , waiting for their turn , some of them are
intended for hunger because financially incapacitated and can not even afford to
buy lunch because the price outside the employment agency is up to their neck
.
Most People change when they get educated they feel gigantic and
unbeatable it varies on the degree they earned from their study , from the
bachelors to masteral and masteral to doctorate , CPA lawyers are more boastful
than an ordinary attorney but judge feels more powerful than them , not to
mention if he is closed to some presidential adviser, secretary or commissioner
, what else if he is closed directly to the president ? same way to the man with
Ph.D . but being god is feeling by his Majesty and to his holiness heaven and
Earth belong to him including all of them .
The ignorant treat them more than a saints , but the one who thinks he is a mere
educated monkey , no change but the outer physical appearance wrapped of a
professing dignity . man of this kind is bound to get worst , to become more
corrupt later on his career and be drown to fame and success ,they don't want
themselves to be little favor for the less of life, in the future he will
employ people for him self to make it a scale for his success, for it is much
happier for him to see his people by his feet but best for him is to call his
people " his people.
This kind
of treatment is very common, this thing happens even to relatives . he who
are popular in the society is recognized by many relatives and sometimes even un
related tries to connect his blood to become related but to people who has
nothing but a piece of land from his primitive fire stove, nobody recognizes ,
and always unknown even to a first cousin , one instance is the apparent
floating of the self – acclaimed n sons and daughter of president Joseph Estrada
the same with the son of Ferdinand Marcos
Education as the Word Enterprise
In my view,
I see that in every aspect of life is acquainted with a possible rocket, and
education is one, Peter Rockman, in his book entitled the handbook of science
and philosophy called the educational institution a word enterprise, selling a
new word merchandise, I agree with him, we all go to school to learn new words
for an already existing words, Geology thought of Devonian, Celurian, Ordovician
and there are also Cambrian and Precambrian and if you ask what are those about,
those are only a period of time 4 Million BC 3 Million BC and so on an then the
last two are also a division of period in one of the first three. Commerce and
Accountancy thought of Liquidation, marked-up, asset, and liabilities but those
are only "to pay, gain, and the in and out of money. Some field use other
language to make sounds new or never heard, psychology thought use Greek in
replacement to English, such as Phoebia, Hypothalamus, Enea, Neurotic, Psche,
Pro and Retro but those are only equivalent to "fear, brain, nine , insane soul,
then the last two means before and after." The law the same with Psyhology
retained the use of latin language, influenced by the holy roman empire when,
the time when it was developed and much in practice, such as Pendente Lite,
Interem, Lex. And Alluvium. Those are only " pending litigation, Temporary, law
and clay and if you are enrolled to one of these courses in college you will be
bound to pay for nine to twenty thousand pesos to learn this new words the
institution has fabricated.
The Biggest Mistake
The System
again committed a big mistake when they tried to make Theories associated to
Science, unrecognized by many teachers professor and educator the true meaning
of Science, for their sake I would let them think of it. Science is the
systematized body of knowledge covering the general truth with the scientific
method. To be called scientific it must be observable, repeatable and
expermentable, how come the that many theories of evolution are inserted in the
science text book of the secondary school and even the elementary school. Big
Band theory, Planetissimal theory, Nebular theory , Darwinians’ theory and so
on.
Take
Darwinians theory for instance, they believe that life originated from a single
organism that gradually evolved from the lowest to the highest form of life in
an accidental process by the long period of time, say 4.5 billion years but the
monkey scientist are not satisfy with 4.5 Billion years because he sees that 4.5
can be round off to 5 so changed again and declared the Earth begun 5 billion
years ago.
How
foolish didn’t even think that a thousand years makes a big differences, three
generation might pass in a hundred years even Y2K is clear example of this, how
much more if he added five million to the age of the world, its amazing
scientist very scientific, did he observed ? or was there somebody when laying
the foundation of the earth who recorded everything ? can he repeat the process
? or do a simple experiment ? but experiment is different, because what they
alleged is that the formation of the universe is accidental and experiment is
not, it is intentional. I like to give them a chance to support their evidence,
I’d like to see them doing an experiment In the laboratory making a simple
peanut in test tube without any seed of any plants or living things, giving them
forty years for process’ deal ? of course no , for no scientist can make life
unless it takes from life, Louis Pasteur confirmed it. That is the silent
controversial issue in Science when scientist himself fail recognize the basic
definition of science , where science teacher just rely on what they learned
under the system of education they boast for themselves .
As I
analyze, almost Ninety percent of subjects taught in is school is not necessary
when you get into job and the only reason why they include it in one curriculum
is because , scholl is business ,a word enterprise , I don’t see any reason how
the subject Filipino become related in all kind of courses in the Philippines. I
am good Filipino citizen and I promote Filipino customs but not tradition , but
for what reason we should study Filipino when we are already learned of it/
doesn’t it a wasting of times and money? Besides an additional burden to the
students? This is just only one of the useless subject, another is family
planning that adds an another three units to the tuition fees, while it is being
taught to the couple on the seminar prior to their wedding and it also can be
obtained even after, another is the military training ,and their also P.E.H.M.
and many more but this is not the only issues here , because it is pretty
obvious that an education takes longer because of these subjects, it is also
practical and advisable to shorten the period of curriculum ,eliminate all
unrelated subject or make them optional and not a prerequisite then concentrate
on the field they are in .
The heart of education is the
education of the heart
Good
education is not found in the classroom , it is always be found in the middle of
your work , I am saying that experience is the best teacher , and that is when
you encounter problem . In my observation , most of the philosopher learned from
themselves , and even geniuses are use in self study and a man of skills loves
the do it yourself as I believe that the "heart of education is the education of
the heart " Overheard from a learned man" if you could train the dog why not the
human being " I agree , but this learned man never noticed that human being is a
dog and the dog is a being more than a human, for it never despise its master
but man bites his colleagues at the back.
When I
was a kid , I used to dream about many thing , some are fantasies and some are
even love story , but I always imagine on what I am going to be someday, I
dreamed also of entering to some great universities Harvard oxford , or in
other colleges, I see myself crossing in London bridge , ascending to Eiffel
Tower in Paris , see pope in Rome, taking pictures in some orthodox church such
as st. bartholomeo moscow, ride in the horse down to st. louies palace in
versailles, take some rock of the dividing wall or Berlin, do a minute of
meditation in Bengali, explore the amazon river of Brazil, trip to Ezrael
and swim in jordan, float at red sea then go to the holy place of Jerusalem and
talk to some rabis there and learn hebrew, go to the city of helen where the
tale of iliad formed see the many goddes of greek people, read some books
of Anaxegoraz and Erathosthenes, learn the life or aristotle but never believe
to Socrates ( bakla sya eh!), walk along the great wall of china and stay in
Amoy fukien, go to the library and see the face of confucious and read the books
of Lao-tso but do not believe, for christ rule is higher than Golden Rule, go to
Austria and pick the flower of Edelweis, greet people there with "guten
tag" .
Wow there are
thousand of places to go around the world, but sad to realize that i dont have
even penny to tour around my own place in my own province. hey! gtg ( gotta go
now ) got to fix my mountain bike to save me from more fare. muahhhhh.
hehehehehe
