random thoughts
i really hate to write at this point of time because i cannot be that objective. i am in rage right now. not really that furious, but getting to my boiling point already.
anybody, this is just my initial reaction to a thread of comment into another network site just like this which was forwarded by a friend. the point is not actually whether what meduim of instruction is the most efficient tool in uplifting education. anyway, whether english or tagalog or filipino, as long as the teacher could actually relate and transmit the knowledge or hatver information, or perhaps learning, to the students effectively.
as for me, i would actually suggest that the education system should not adopt a single language, ergo, tagalog or filipino, as the meduim of instruction contrary to the pending bill in the congress advocating for english as the meduim of instruction in all levels. bear in mind also that we as nation is diverse in culture including our tongues. we have so many dialects that most of the indigenous communities are actually more well versed in english than in tagalog. this is not to say however that i am for english.
no, my position is, kung ilocano or bisaya or maranao ang mas naiintindihan ng estudyante at mas nakakatulong sa kanilang pag-aaral, bakit mo ipagpipilitan ang tagalog o ingles!!! yun lang ang akin…
p.s. do not speak as you do know what is best for the rest of the community especially if you had been living in the four walls of your comfort zone.
