• Sadya nga bang mas may konsiderasyon ang mga propesor
  tuwing summer classes kaysa sa regular na semestre?
• Anu-ano ang mga dapat ikonsidera ng propesor
  bago siya maghatol ng 5.0?
  Anu-ano naman ang mga dapat ikonsidera ng
  estudyante bago siya magreklamo ukol dito?
• Iba-iba ang karanasan ng mga propesor sa
  usapain ng academic freedom sa iba't ibang
  pamantasang na pinagtuturuan nila.
  Minsan nakabubuti. Minsan inaabuso.
• Hindi dapat maging kahalili ng nag-uulat
  ang kanyang ipamamahaging hand-out.
  Ayon kay Poldo, mas mabuti pang ipamahagi
  na lamang ito para mabasa nila ng personal
  sa bahay sa halip na makinig sa mga nag-uulat
  na binabasa lang naman sa harapan ng klase.
  Ang pinakamasaklap sa lahat ay pinahihintulutan
  (o pinalalampas) naman ito ng propesor.
  "'Yan ba ang UP education?, bulalas niya.

Palasong may lason na pupuntirya sa puso ng may kaarawan sa ika-5 ng Abril

----------------------------------------->

Nagdadalang tao ang sistema ng napakarami pang Gloria sa hinaharap. Baka nga nasa UP ang iba sa kanila. Sana wala sa 2008 graduating batch.

Definitely, Gloria isn't the sole culprit.
People who lend their services to her are equally guilty.
But the real problem is the economic system & political structure
that breed and nurture people like her.
With such set-up in place, expect more Gloria to emerge
in this forsaken part of the world.

An open letter to the graduating batch

Please consider university (or high school) teaching
as a full-time or part-time profession.

Please contribute to the education of the next generation.

The pool of qualified and dedicated teachers
in the country badly needs replenishment.
