Star of Hope schools in the Philippines started yesterday the academic year 2012-13. There are about 2 500 students at the school in Taytay.
The new official school plan is implemented, which means that schools must now offer 12 grades instead of the earlier 10. So there are new deamands on teachers and students. Many new challenges lie ahead, but in the long run, the children will get a better start in life.
I wrote several posts last week about the new curriculum. I believe in it.
It rained hard yesterday in Taytay. There were many new students. Many were nervous and cried.
I remember how it was like. What will happen now? Is it my teacher good?
