Don't blame teachers when it's parents who are failing

Parents are the problem

Posted February 16, 2017 12:48 am - Updated February 16, 2017 12:58 am 
By 
Lisa Roberson

As a retired teacher, I am sick of people who know nothing about public schools or have not been in a classroom recently deciding how to fix our education system.
The teachers are not the problem! Parents are the problem! They are not teaching their children manners, respect or even a general knowledge of how to get along with others. The children come to school in shoes that cost more than the teacher’s entire outfit, but have no pencil or paper. Who provides them? The teachers often provide them out of their own pockets.
When you look at schools that are “failing,” look at the parents and students. Do parents come to parent nights? Do they talk with the teachers regularly? Do they make sure their children are prepared by having the necessary supplies? Do they make sure their children do their homework?
Do they have working telephone numbers? Do the students take notes in class? Do they do their homework? Do the students listen in class, or are they the sources of class disruptions?
When you look at these factors, you will see that it is not schools that are failing but the parents. Teachers cannot do their jobs and the parents’ job. Until parents step up and do their job, nothing is going to get better!

    $1 Billion Iloilo-Guimaras-Negros-Cebu Link Bridge of Pres. Duterte to start construction this year

    $1 Billion Iloilo-Guimaras-Negros-Cebu Link Bridge Of Pres. Duterte To Start Construction This Year


    The $1-Billion bridge connecting the four islands in the Visayas is to start the construction this year and expected to be completed within the term of President Rodrigo Duterte.

    Department of Public Works Secretary Mark Villar said the Iloilo-Guimaras-Negros-Cebu Link Bridge is the “most ambitious bridge program in the history of our nation.”



    Villar, along with National Economic and Development Authority Director General Ernesto Pernia, Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade, and Bases Conversion and the Development Authority President and Chief Executive Officer Vivencio Dizon, held a press conference, to bare the nine infrastructure projects of the Duterte administration, which will start construction this year.

    The Duterte administration wants to decongest Manila and disperse the development in the regions.

    Villar said the Iloilo-Guimaras-Negros-Cebu Link Bridge Project, after its completion, is seen to replace San Juanico Bridge, which links Samar and Leyte, as the longest bridge in the country.

    He said the length of the bridges that will connect Iloilo, Guimaras, Negros and Cebu, ranges from two to 10 kilometers.

    “Once finished, you will be able to take a road trip to Iloilo and Cebu,” Villar said.

    He said that 25 percent of the budget is allocated to the nationwide decongestion program of the administration.

    Pernia, for his part, said the infrastructure projects, including the Iloilo-Guimaras-Negros-Cebu Link Bridge, have gone through the “eye of the needle” and are ready to be implemented by the concerned agencies this year.

    He said the projects are already in the state of bidding, adding that it will generate more jobs once the construction begins.

    Pernia added that the “work regimen of 24 hours a day, seven days a week” will hasten the construction of the infrastructure projects.

    He warned though that the works can cause inconvenience to the public.

    “Before the country can rise up and be world-class, there will be some inconvenience. If there is construction going on, it can cause inconvenience,” he added.

    Tugade, meanwhile, said the infrastructure projects can address unemployment and traffic problems in the country.

    “Infrastructure means connectivity and mobility, connectivity among local government units and mobility to go to one place to another,” he added.

    PRESS RELEASE
    March 3, 2017
    PASIG CITY, March 3, 2017 – In preparation for the random drug testing of students, teachers, and personnel for 2017, the Department of Education (DepEd) will conduct an orientation-training in six clusters in the following locations: Angeles City (for Regions II and III); Manila (for Regions IV-A, IV-B, V, and VIII); Cebu City (for Regions VI and VII); Davao City (for Regions IX, XI, XII, ARMM); Cagayan de Oro (for Region X and CARAGA); and Baguio City (for Region I and CAR). 

    The orientation-training aims to provide awareness on the legal and regulatory aspect of drug testing; to orient and train Regional and Schools Division personnel on specimen collection and testing; to discuss the initial assessment and intervention for students found to be positive for drug use; and to train participants on documentation and recording of drug testing process. 

    The said activity will include two participants from each Regional office (health coordinator, and Regional Director or authorized representative); six participants from the Schools Division offices (school division superintendent, medical officer, guidance counselor, two division nurses, and principal); 10 facilitators/resource persons, and six secretariat personnel from the Central Office. 

    The random drug testing is part of DepEd's support to the government’s efforts against illegal drugs. It will cover secondary students, elementary and secondary school teachers, and officers and personnel from the Central, Regional, and School Division offices. 

    The mandatory drug testing is based on Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. Under Section 36, students of secondary and tertiary schools shall undergo a random drug testing as pursuant to the related rules and regulations as contained in the school's student handbook and with notice to the parents. 

    The Act also requires officers and employees of public and private offices, whether domestic or overseas, to undergo a random drug test.

      DepEd urges parents to be informed on school policies

      PASIG CITY, March 4, 2017 – The Department of Education (DepEd) is encouraging parents to provide time for the welfare of their children by attending school meetings or parent-teacher conferences, and being informed on school policies. 

      In an interview, Undersecretary Jesus Mateo said that parents should participate in school conferences, especially during the opening of classes, to meet the teachers and principals and be aware of school policies. 

      “Parent-teacher conferences are where the policies, rules and regulations of the school are being discussed, and we encourage the parents to be involved in school activities, to attend meetings and be informed,” Mateo said. 

      Mateo added that it is during school meetings that teachers discuss the activities for the year. This is also the time for parents to raise questions and clarifications or make suggestions, such as on the conduct of field trips. 

      Mateo said that the DepEd-National Capital Region (NCR) is implementing the policy in schools divisions by creating a committee on field trip evaluation.
      “The task of the committee is to examine the field trip proposals submitted by the public elementary and secondary schools under their jurisdiction before allowing them to proceed.” 

      He added that the committee, as a practice, evaluates the relevance of the activity to the lessons, including the values to be derived from it. Safety measures of the children are included in the guidelines for evaluation. 

      The DepEd reiterates its policy that school field trips are not mandatory. Moreover, schools are ordered to refrain from conducting punitive activities that put to disadvantage or affect the academic standing of students who are unable to join.

      The policies on educational tours are based on DepEd Orders No. 56 s. 2001, No. 51 s. 2002, and No. 52 s. 2003.

      "My warmest greetings to the school officials, administrators, faculty members and advisers, teachers, parents and guardians of the graduates of school year 2016-2017 with the theme, “Sabay-Sabay na Hakbang Tungo sa Maunlad na Kinabukasan."

      If a man wants an education, he can learn all he wants. But if a man wants to prove himself, a diploma would be a tangible proof for everyone. However, diplomas are only symbols, but education lasts a lifetime.

      Dear graduates, congratulations on this special day when you reap the fruits of your hard work and perseverance in the past years – all those nights of painstakingly studying your lessons and those days of putting your knowledge at work to be a step closer to your dreams. This day is a commemoration of your achievements, a time to anticipate future opportunities, and a season to embrace and thank people who have helped you in one way or the other to reach this finish line.

      With all the knowledge, skills, and values you acquired, you have prepared yourself for life-changing endeavors and infinite possibilities. As you journey through life, keep working hard because this is just the beginning of many challenges as well as future successes.

      Make your country proud of you and your accomplishments. Your mentors are confident that you will continue living up to become citizens of character and lofty ideals, and whose critical thinking and competency will take the country to path of global competitiveness and recognition.

      All the best in your next endeavor and congratulations!"

      -Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones

      Senate OKs 120-day  expanded maternity leave on final reading
      Press Release
      March 6, 2017


      SENATE DOUBLING MATERNITY LEAVE, A GREAT GIFT ON WOMEN'S MONTH: PANGILINAN
      MANILA - The Senate, voting 22-0, on Monday approved on third reading the Expanded Maternity Leave Act (Senate Bill 1305), granting working mothers 60 more days of maternity leave, or a total of 120 days, regardless of whether the birth is normal or caesarean. Solo parents get 150 days of maternity leave.
      "Ang gandang regalo nito para sa International Women's Month. Salamat kay Sen. Risa Hontiveros para sa pagtulak at pag-shepherd sa panukalang ito sa kanyang komite(This is a great gift on International Women's Month. We thank Sen. Risa Hontiveros for pushing and shepherding this measure in her committee)," said Liberal Party president Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan, who was among the first senators to file a similar bill in this 17th Congress.

      In his original proposed measure, Pangilinan wanted to increase the maternity leave by 150 percent from 60 days to 150 days.

      "Makakapagpahinga at makaka-recover na nang husto ang mga bagong panganak. Masisiguro na ring maaalagaan nang mas mabuti ang mga bagong silang (The new mother would now be able to rest and recover more fully from childbirth. The baby will also be well cared for)," Pangilinan said.

      The bill amends Republic Act 1161 or the Social Security Act of 1997, which currently grants a 60-day (for normal childbirth) to 78-day (for caesarean) maternity leave for employees in the private sector. The current law is below the international labor standard on maternal protection that recommends 14 weeks or 98 days of maternity leave.

      Under the proposed law, also allowed is an additional maternity leave of 30 days without pay, provided that the employer is informed in writing at least 45 days before the end of her original maternity leave.
      Other important provisions of Senate Bill 1305 are:
      • The full payment shall be advanced by the employer within 30 days from the filing of the maternity leave application.
      • Workers availing of the maternity leave period and benefits must receive not less than two-thirds of their regular monthly wages. "This cash benefit should allow her to maintain herself and her child or children (in case of multiple births) properly in health and in overall well-being," Pangilinan said.
      • Employers from the private sector shall be responsible for payment of the salary differential between the actual cash benefits received from the Social Security System (SSS) by the covered female workers and their average weekly or regular wages, for the entire duration of the ordinary maternity leave, with some exceptions.
      • Employees who avail themselves of this benefit shall be assured of security of tenure. This cannot be used as basis for demotion in employment or termination. The transfer to a parallel position or reassignment from one organizational unit to another in the same agency shall be allowed, provided it shall not involve a reduction in rank, status, or salary.
      Various studies show the positive health impacts of paid parental leave on the health of children and mothers.
      In the bill he filed last July, Pangilinan cited the Public Health Reports from 2011, which said that an increase in the length of paid maternity leave can reduce infant mortality by as much as 10 percent.

      Paid maternity leave also increases the likelihood of infants getting well-baby care visits and vaccinations, and the rate and duration of breastfeeding which is known to be very beneficial to the health of mothers, the report said.

      The expanded maternity leave proposal is among the first 10 bills filed by Pangilinan for the 17th Congress. Some of the others are the Sagip Saka bill, the Free Wi-Fi bill, and the measure creating the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
