Of an education.

mood: alarmed

Serious mode. Anyhows, i'm just alarmed with today's kids. Well, most of the country's child population regarding education. A few years ago, the Probe team had an episode about education and it was very interesting. There were these second year high school students who were interviewed about education. And they were asked simple multiplication problems. And to my dismay three of them doesn't know the answer and one of them had to write down the numbers.

Rizal said "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.". It has been more than a century and i'm not sure if we listened clearly to his words.

Just right now, ask any ordinary kid regarding math or science. See if you could get the answer that you wanted. For sure, they would really know R.O., hit points, DOTA, etc. How about the nine (eherm... ten) planets? Or what are our previous and present national birds?

Okay. For sure, one of our major problem in this God forsaken country is politics. Almost every week, a new issue on politics arises. How about us? How about the children?

Yeah, as if they are really doing something about this. They are too busy politicking.

I'm just concerned because i'm a Filipino. And i'm so un-amused when my kababayan can't even answer a simple question in Laban O Bawi.

I hope we wouldn't live in a dying generation...
