A Warning to Everyone

Jess and went out yesterday. We met in DLSU to process our TOR and it was hell! The line was very long for the registrars and then the accounting as well but the worse part was going back to the registrars because we had to wait for an hour just to submit the papers and that was just it! We just had so many comments about how the registrars manage themselves like there should be a tray so that time won’t be wasted, or that all the three counters must have tellers since there was only one person assisting the hundreds of people who would like to request for documents. Another thing that ticked me off was that the office was under going renovation which means the air conditioner was low and it seems that we were sharing our own sweat, there were not tiles making the floor look old and dirty and the cables were out and hanging. Well, to be honest, it was not the right time for them to renovate and if they ever do on the right time, they should make the office a little bigger. Jess even suggested that there should be free coffee and bagels while the students wait to be called. Hehe

After everything was done, we went to our favorite spot for lunch—the gazebo. We ordered our favorite food which was Footmeltsilog with bacon and Naicha/ RedZhen. YUM YUM!!!

We then met with the “former” teachers of HH which was really relaxing because of all the stories. I haven’t seen then in months and everything has changed. Including the school and the directress had changed as well! There were so many things that had happen. Many of the stories to did shock me like the tax increase with in the year which was not even suppose to be done (from a reliable CPA Lasallian) and the deduction to the salary of Philhealth with no number or evidence that there was even a Philhealth in their benefits. It was even sad to know that the directress doesn’t even know how to subtract, add and multiply! It was a good thing though that a parent confronted her and told her “There is something wrong with you.” Imagine this; approximately 12 teachers have left her within a year including me and Jess, which means that the teacher would rather pay the damages than to work for her. Another dumb idea of hers was that she turned off the air conditioner because of the bill but if you think of it, the tuition fee alone is high already and in this school year there has been an increase of 20k. So the question is: What happened to all of the money that the parents pay? The crazy part is that she accepts and moves up students without any assessment and knowing that the students isn’t even ready just to have slots for the other new enrollees! I don’t even know what you call that! The saddest part of all was that many of the parents were sad, frustrated and crying because the teachers were leaving and those teachers do have DEDICATION in their work and that many of the students have changed their negative attitudes and that in a young age started to read. One of the students could already read, spell out his name, know his birthday and parents name at the age of 3years old and 8 months—guess what the directress said—“babaan mo ang reading assessment para dito siya next year.” What a directress! I pity the school and the students because they are suffering because of her. If you think about it, every teacher who had been through her has resented her and would express themselves to other teachers on their negative experience!
