Lesson Plans and Grade Records

I've been optimizing and maintaining Trish's PC -- and i get to talk to his wife Jo,
Umabot kami sa part sa kung saan si Jo ay gumagawa ng Lesson Plan.

Yeah, the big notebook Elementary Lesson Plan, all of the subjects written on it which is identically the same with the ones written last year.

???

I asked for the reason why write it over and over again.

"Kasi para alam na handa ka sa subject mo at dapat handwritten para alam na ikaw ang gumawa..."

???
(*scratches head)

Elementary -- Basic Subjects -- Lesson Plan --Handwritten -- Rewritten again -- and again
and that's the same subjects all over again!

That may be good in the sense that siguradong handa si teacher na magturo sa maliliit na bata.
Hindi ko lang gets bakit kailangang isulat ng paulit-ulit? at bakit hindi puedeng computerized? That system works great back in the 80's but in the time right now. I guess there should be a little upgrade on such said system.

and then comes the Records for the Grades that must be handwritten as well.
done with calculators when it can just be done with Microsoft Excel or Open Office Spreadsheet or Lotus 123 (even Lotus 123 is already obsolete my goodness!)


But i guess that just go for two Public Schools -- maybe it doesn't go that way on other schools.
But just the thought... wow...



and some College(s) struggle with their syllabi!

Teacher Gerr, kamusta ka na? :) Ako'y muling nagbalik dito (at may sarili na ring bahay). Haha.

Oo nga, bakit nga ba kailangan pang isulat nang isulat muli ang mga topics na naituro at natutunan na noon pa? Hindi ba dapat kung ilang taon ka na ring guro ay may kopya ka na ng lesson plan mo dati pa? Siguro ang pag-isip ng unique way para maibahagi iyon ang dapat gawin na lang.
