As I, for one, also share the same frustrations, rants and shout outs with the school (naaalala ko na minumura ko yung Math teacher ko while I'm taking my Algebra and Trigo exams sa UP dahil wala sa kalingkingan yung mga naituro niya), I have learned to be composed and took things objectively (salamat Chevron for embedding in me a culture of synergy). As such, I would like to ask fellow alumni to air their thoughts and concerns in a constructive way. If you think the content is boring, point out why it is boring and be brave enough to name yourself and not hide under the name "Anonymous". I would appreciate comments to make me better. Otherwise, you are just a nuisance and just being obnoxious.

Hahaha!! Sinong minumura mo Ted??? Si MRs. S_n_t_na??? Hahahaha!!!
ReplyDeletehahahaha! no naming names. i won't tell. i have moved on. after nun, oks na yung mga sumunod kong math subjects. yahooooo! sipag at tiyaga lang ika nga ni manny villar. mahirap makipagsabayan sa mga pisay, qcsci at masci. ;p
ReplyDeletenamura ko din ang mga math teacher ko nung nasa basic engineering course ako. Nung 3rd year HS ko, ang geometry is literal na geometry ang pinagaaralan, mostly puro memorize ng theorem! Pag pasok ko ng college iba pala ang Geometry! tapos naalala ko pa, nagrequest kami ng mga classmate ko na ituro ang TRIGO dahil kelangan talaga namin matutunan, ang ginawa pinapasok kami ng isang saturday para ituro ang basic trigo! SUS NAMAN!!! isang araw lang!!! Pero kahit na pahirapan talaga sa Math nung College compared to other students, lamang naman tayo sa FILIPINO at ENGLISH subj dahil sandamukal na formal theme ba naman ang inatupag nung HS e!
ReplyDeleteI must say, this blog was nicely done. A little bit plain but I'm sure you guys will think of something to make this site lively.
ReplyDeleteWhen was the OLLSNAA established? I didn't know that we have an alumni association. I think you guys are doing a great job. Keep it up!
Oh, I have a similar story too.
I also thought of becoming an engineer so I applied for B.S. CHE in UST and luckily, I got accepted. When classes started, suddenly my world was turned upside down. :-p Hanep! Algebra pa lang nangangamote na. Buti na lang kinaya pa ng sipag at tiyaga. Then 2nd Sem, Trigo and Geom at the same time. Isabay pa ang programing C++. Hala! nagkalabolabo na. Hindi na kaya ng sipag at tiyaga. So, I decided to leave engineering and went to pursue a degree in business. Switching to another major was one of my wisest decisions.
I wonder if OLLSN changed their curriculum to something that would better prepare the students in entering college. Naalala ko pa, karamihan ng classmates ko sa Eng. may elective courses (accounting, basic engineering, etc.) noong high school. Pipili sila kung aling elective course sila interesado. Kaya may solid foundation sila sa ganoong kurso. It really helped them decide on what major to pursue.
Maybe, the OLLSNAA could help improve OLLSN's curriculum in the future. :-)
this is what we get for a free web site. i agree it is plain but it serve its purpose in the meantime. hopefully those ollsn alumni turned website geeks can dress this up by just changing the CSS script. unfortunately, i don't know how to do it. hehehe :)
ReplyDeletecollege is really a survival of the fittest. good thing you have come to your senses early on and pursue what you really like. your decision pays off. as with regards to the school's curriculum, i agree with your suggestions. :)
