kapag matuloy yung plan namin to go back to pinas (dream on, raqgold :D) -- you know how much we would be paying for one semester sa isang german school? wag mo na natungin? kasi ako kinalimutan ko na rin dahil 300% more expensive sya compared to a kindergarten here.. and i mean, kindergarten pa lang yun ha.

pano ba kaya yung higher grades! i dont know how people in pinas could cope up esp since they would also need budget for school things, etc.

Hi Analyse,
You have every reason to be proud of coming from Mapua. I've met a few Mapuans and they are all outstanding. And you are right that when you search for work, employers don't give a damn where you had your elementary.

In the Philippines where good paying jobs are scarce, getting education from a well known school(college) is beneficial when it comes to job hunting.
Parents should only invest huge amounts of money on kids who really have the potential to minimize their risks specially if they are taking loans.

Here in the US, it depends on what field. Sometimes it's not really necessary to pay so much money for a degree from a big name school. I was talking to a lady who works at John Hopkins University Hospital and she said that there is really no difference in salaries of nurses who graduated from big name schools and community colleges.
I know of someone who went to a nursing school paying $24K per year. Nagkamot lang ako ng ulo- because Filipino nurses are as good(RNs) and they didn't pay as much.

Re: elementary schools:
If we were to pay for private school here, it will $5,000 per year. After observing the public school for a year, I find no reason to go on a private school.

Ana it's a world crisis so everything is expensive. We sent my younger brother to Nursing school (EAC) finally he graduated last April. We paid an expensive tuition fee because EAC is specialized in nursing courses. Naku dagdag pa ang additional expenses, but we're glad he didn't have failing grades and I think in return that's the price :D! I would not mind paying expensive tuition fees if I am financially able as long as he is serious in his studies, ika nga that will be the only riches I can only offer to a love one

Ako nga rin ngayon pa lang pinaplano na talaga ang pag college ng mga bata. Problema pa yung educational plan nila at wala na yatang chance na makabangon.

Free ba ang schooling dyan sa inyo?

Geri, sobra. I hope public schools still practice affordable price and that they still give quality education.

Julie, I hope you still could. Hayy, start saving na my dear.

Rhada, that's probably why my siblings wouldn't want to have more than one child in the family. Biruin mo, with soon 2 kids, ako na ang may pinakamaraming anak sa min.

Maya, naku ma-dear. Depressing situation sa tin no.

Pregnancy's ok. Just like with Louna, I'm having quite an easy pregnancy right now, hope it continues.

Feng, shhh. Hehe. Kalabaw lang ang tumatanda. ;)

ganyan talaga dito Analyse. everything has gone up, sweldo na lang ang hindi! you see, the disparity between the poor and the rich is really big. hayyyyy.

you wont believe it, pero preschools here, grabe, parang lifetime mo ng ipagtratrabaho eh. pero siguro, ganyan lang talaga, have to live with it here.

uy, batch 93 ka pala sa Mapua ha. heehee. napaghahahalata age natin ah. ako din eh, same batch as you. tanda na natin noh.

2008-06-20T12:28:00.000+02:00

ana, mura pa yang Pph 50K per sem para sa kalibre ng Mapua. Kahit mga pipitsuging schools eh mahal na rin. Ganyan na katindi ang inflation sa Pinas. Ganyan na kalubog ang ating ekonomiya. Ang pangkaraniwang Juan ay lalong nawawalan ng pag-asa.

My friend who sent his kids to kindergaten at an exclusive school in Greenhills back in 2002 paid Pph 60K per sem. Sabi ko, Kindergaten lang, ganun na kamahal??

2008-06-20T06:43:00.000+02:00

Ana, ganyan na yata talaga, sa Ateneo, I think it costs 100k+/sem. Ang iniisip ko nga, mapapa-aral ko kaya nag mga anak ko pag college na silA?

Ana, grabe, the numbers are shocking. My friend told me nga that pre-school in Manila was P80,000 a year daw. Huwaw!
