Does school really matter?

[yebo]

a diamond cut by an apprentice will maybe shine, a piece of glass cut by a master will sparkle like a gem. it takes both, student and school, for a graduate to stand out above the rest.

if the times were 1986-89, school mattered a lot. pag di ka graduate ng top 3 sa basurahan lang pupunta ang resume mo. ngayon di na masyado.

mapua? quartermester dun. di lang walang social life, baka mag-ipon ka lang ng sinko dun e di masisira lang ang first page ng transcript mo. think hard, kaya mo ba ang quartermester? ang pamangkin ko dun siya ng 1st year, wala naman daw natututunan parang nagfa-fast reading lang yung professor nila sa harap tapos exam na agad. puro sila sinko, may 3 o 4 lang daw na papasa. kaya ayun lumipat sa adamson, masaya siya at naa-appreciate nya yung lessons nila. graduating na ngayon. yun din isang pamangkin ko, yung last year nya na-implement yung quartermester. laking difference daw, yung dati may chance pa sila magtanong sa prof na i-explain ng mabuti pag mahirap yung lesson pero nung quartermester na e para lang daw sila nanunuod ng movie, wala na interaction between students and prof. mahirap e wala din rewind button. so kung wala ka din lang attitude na mag self study ng 18 hours a day e isip ka ng mabuti bago ka mag-enroll.

tignan mo mabuti ang ranking ng mapua. they used to be the #2 or #3 engineering school when it comes to placing and number of passers in the board exams. ngayon ano ranking nila? #17? i am not trying to put down mapua. what i do not like about them is that MAPUA COMMERCIALISED EDUCATION SO MUCH THAT THEY SACRIFIECED THEIR STUDENTS AND REPUTATION FOR THE SAKE OF PROFIT.
