A Letter to a Trapo
June 17, 2010
Dear Trapo,
I heard you over the radio today while I was in the shower. I was so surprised by your tirade that I had to pause from applying conditioner in my hair (an activity I have started to enjoy after switching to this new organic conditioner), and listen to what your were saying. You were complaining about the dismal educational system, the lack of books, the overcrowding at schools, and of students who graduate without learning how to read. Bsically, you were complaining about the same problems we have every opening of the school year.
Oh, you do have valid points. However, what surprised me was the gall you had in complaining. My dear trapo, have you ever stopped and thought whether or not you contributed to this mess? You who would insist- demand, rather- that your people be appointed to posts as teachers and educators even though they are miserably unqualified for the job? All because they are your voters/supporters/kamag-anak/inaanak? Aren’t you the one responsible for the hiring of thousands of incompetent teachers and several more government employees? A few years ago, you made a big to-do about the appointment of B in an important position, all because that certain person comes from another place? And that you were batting for the appointment of V, even though he lacks qualifications for the job?
Instead of complaining about the currently unsatisfactory educational system, why don’t you start doing something about it? Instead of sitting at your hands when you are supposed to be working, why not start buckling down to work? It’s not as if you don’t know your job, you should be able to do it by now with your eyes closed and your hands ties behind you. If you can’t, please do us a favor and stop running for office. Or at least, shut up.
Sincerely,
A disappointed voter

nanjan pa din problema, mas lumala pa nga. 3 shifts na nga ang mga teachers, 8 subjects na lang. marami pa rin ang non-readers. marami ang pumapasa lang dahil sa paki-usap ng mga magulang.
naalala ko nung nagtuturo pa ako sa college, sumasakit ang ulo ko sa mga essays ng nga applicants sa law school. mali-mali ang grammar, wala kang maintindihan sa sentence construction. sabagay, karamihan sa mga applicants na yun, galing sa isang college na kilala lang naman sa basketball, volleyball at sa mga seksing estudyante.
yung isang law student naman, kung iisa-isahin ko ang mga words sa essay nya, maiintindihan ko. pero taken as a whole, parang sinulat ng manok. mas lalo pang nagpasakit ng ulo yung text speak.
ngayong may jejemons na, mas kawawa ang mga guro.
