My error. A finger slipped and I deleted this topic accidentally. So here it is again. However, I would like the poster to note that there is a lot of disagreement between members on the subject of the quality of public education in the Philippines. As someone has already noted, the quality of public education differs substantially from local to local. You will simply have to come and see what the public schools are like for for yourself. You will only read disagreement here. It is like the story of the three blind men who asked to 'see' an elephant. So all three were brought to the circus and let up to an elephant. One grabbed a tail and said, "Oh, it's like a snake." The second grabbed the trunk and said, "Well, if it's like a snake it's a gigantic one!". And the third fellow ran into the the elephant's belly and........" Well, you get the picture. All you will hear here is disagreement on the subject, and everybody's right. Come and see for yourself.
