New Migrants: Catholic or Public Schools

multitasking

Guys...

I would like to seek your advice.. currently, i'm looking for a school sa daughter ko na nasa Grade 8 sa Pinas ngayon... question.. they will be coming here mid of Sept para habulin yung 4th term.. do you think ok na i enroll sila sa public school? im thinking na i enroll sila sa catholic school ..para mas madali ang transition niya given na sa catholic school sya sa pinas ever since....

thanks in advance...

Based sa personal experience ko eh nakakainis sa Catholic School - andami na ngang fees eh mababa pa quality ng education compared sa public (baliktad ng sa atin sa Pinas). Pero baka depende din sa lugar baka minalas lang sa school dun sa amin pero in hindsight eh dapat sa public ko na pinasok anak ko. Daming kalokohan sa Catholic School na hindi naman essential sa development ng bata. Parang gago pa yung Pariest Priest sa school ang hilig kumanta kahit di kelangan (out of topic na hehehe).

Maganda na public lalo eh yung selective school pero mahirap mapasok.

Sa mga bagong migrants it pays to check nyo muna kung anong decile ng school kung saan mo enroll yung anak nyo. For decile 1 school think again coz this school have low standard. Some teachers in this school don't care if students do there homework or not. The highest is decile 10 or the independent school (or grammar school) they called here but these schools are expensive due to affluent families choose this school but if you can afford go go go.

Kung kaya ng anak niyo, better to put them in selective schools 🙂

I agree.. Kung kaya ng budget and kaya ng bata🙂

Education is an investment.

Turuan mo na kasi anak (joke lang ito huh) ko sa creche (is called day care here) pa lang pag uwi minsan may bitemark or head bat... Kaya ngayon tinuruan kong magwento at magsumbong sa teacher nya.

sa experienced ko satisfied nman ako sa education ng kids ko sa public school cla, yung eldest ko grade 5 when we first came here.. then she took entrance test for language immersion class nung year 7 and she passed mga ibang bata ng test dun galing sa catholic school,ngayon year 8 na sya.. iba kse curriculum nila dito pag primary easy lng pag secondary dun na mas competitive, ako tutor ko pa din cla sa bahay, bastat well guided mga kids it doesn't matter kung public o private 🙂 pag smart ang bata madaming selective entry for academic learning sa public 🙂 bawal bullying dito ako naku sumusugod ako i really dont care kung cno pa cla .. Kailangan maramdaman nila minsan na hey pumapalag ako dont you dare bully my kids hahaha
