My K-12 Opinion
I myself am not a great fan of K to 12. I know it’s now law and is on its second year. The Department of Education says the implementation is getting better, as schools get to iron out the kinks of last year. But whether it is or not, I don’t know that the program will really make a huge dent in the huge problem of education.
Let me be clear: I believe in education, I’m big on education. If there’s one thing I think will bring us out of the rut of poverty, it is education. If there’s one thing I think will make us less desperate, benighted and hopeless, it’s education. If there’s one thing that’s going to stop us from thinking in terms of surviving and climbing out of the pit and start thinking in terms of forging ahead and being better than everybody else, like Singapore, it’s education.
But before all of that let me tell you all about the advantages and disadvantages of this so called “K-12”
Advantages:
The program aims to uplift the quality of education in the Philippines in order for graduates to be easily employed. The program also aims to meet the standards required for professionals who would want to work abroad. Most importantly, the system aims to fully enhance and develop the students in order for them to be well-prepared especially in emotional and cognitive aspects. Through this, graduates will be able to face the pressures of their future workplace. To achieve universal primary education, and objectives of education for all (EFA) the inclusion of preschool, currently known as kindergarten in the basic education cycle, making it free and compulsory is presently being considered at the policy level. Kindergarten education or the K+12 will prepare 5 year old children physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally for formal schooling.K+12 will increase the children chance of surviving and completing formal schooling, reducing dropouts’ incidence and insuring better school performance. The universal Kindergarten education will the

    If you had a child and lived in an undeveloped area with poor educational facilities would you not seek out the best alternatives available? Would you not go out and discover what opportunities offer the greatest chance for success and embrace every single one of them in an effort to give your child unlimited opportunities? In the film we viewed in class, we were shown unbelievable and also amazing scenarios where children and their parents were forced into similar situations as addressed above. All the parents and guardians of the children in the film would have answered yes to all and any questions similar to the ones prescribed above. They explored all the alternatives they could in desperate attempts to get their children the quality of education they believed they not only needed, but also deserved. The one unique thing about all these possible solutions is that they don’t seem to come from those demanding the proper results, the government. Instead the most promising solutions are coming from private foundations, innovative and motivated individuals, and persistent efforts.…

    Virtual learning environments, often referred to as online learning or e-learning, have proliferated both at the K-12 and the adult levels. Formal virtual learning communities (VLCs) at the K-12 level however, are relatively new phenomena. Traditionally, literature regarding online learning has focused largely on technology and learner-computer interaction. These isolated computer-mediated environments where the need for community and human interaction remains unchanged and unchallenged stand in contrast with face-to-face environments where community has traditionally been created and fostered. The emergence of communities in virtual learning environments provides challenges and opportunities to develop interactive, collaborative communities. This field is growing and expanding rapidly, inviting innovation, enthusiasm and the attention of researchers and practitioners. Associated literature is expanding and the need for further research has been noted (Nippard & Murphy, 2007). While there have been significant contributions to research in this area, the sparseness of literature reveals a need for further investigation. For this review a comprehensive search of the literature was conducted although research on VLCs in higher education is more abundant than research at the k-12 level.…

    The proposal for the so-called "K+12" model of education has been on hold since 1925. There are so many proposals that has been on the table but all of them failed to realize due to propaganda by anti-"K+12" groups. But in this light, we commend the Department of Education, headed by Bro. Armin Luistro for having the will to push this long-due overhaul of the education system.…

    I don’t know if anyone had any inkling about how difficult adding two years to our formerly tranquil system would be. The idea was to decongest grades 1-10, to have more time to teach elementary level subjects well. This was a laudable idea. So to the 10 years we already had, we added Kindergarten in the front (to better insure that grade schoolers don’t drop out!), and two grades 11 and 12 in the end. Somewhere in the process the idea was added that there are many subjects in college that don’t belong there. So the years, 11 and 12, that were there to de-congest 1-10 were now congested by subjects that were pushed down from college. Add to this now the idea that one who finishes grade 12 should either be able to work or to go to college. That meant, instruction of a more technical nature…
