Does school really matter?

[_Cathy_]

Yung mga wala kadalasan, INILAGAY lang ng mga social climber parents sa mga more expensive schools (to build connections for their kids) ang umaaastang maarte (to fit in kuno). Really well of people don't flaunt.

Ewan ko lang ang lower generations na kasi early batch 90s kami nag grad ng HS. Maybe iba na ang gens ngayon.

I didn't want to spell it out but I think that's the case of the colleague of my Paulinian friend She didn't come from a good gs/hs, college lang nakapag aral sa DLSU pero kung makalait ng Ateneans. Even AC she hates din daw (where did that come from [emoji15] ) It's as if her school is her main identity and proof that she's "elite"

Pero kaya I posted din kasi baka nga iba na generation ngayon, those born in the 2000s. Sa reddit kasi dami rin complaints about school discrimination when dating. Iba kasi ngayon may internet na anonymous and a lot of thoughts are voiced out na dati hindi pinaguusapan

grumadweyt ako na may mga teacher wapakels eh pinapasa ako

and meron ako teacher na government workers bale sa gabi sila nagtuturo. Ito yung mga kabiruan ko at nasuhulan na din kaya pumasa.... ipapasa naman talaga nila ako kaso dahil nga sa "dahting ko" /asta ko/ arrived ko eh nagrequest ng kapalit. Imbes na project eh pagkain binigay ko. Cake ng gateau de manille and don henricos. At that time ito yung mga sikat.

Meron din ako teacher mga doctorate na pinasa din ako walang kapalit.

Yung mga government workers talaga masarap kabiruan syemore may pakisama.

As in zero knowledge ako ng college. Im all selfstudy after.

grumadweyt kayo!
this is getting interesting,
saang paaralan kayo grumadweyt at anong tinapos nyo?

Sis, there were a few na pag dating sa college/Uni, they wouldn't talk or make firends from so called "lower schools" St. Paul, etc. only yung ka level lang daw (elite) pero minority lang talaga yun.

Observation ko lang most of us eventually wound up marrying folks from the girls school two blocks away in San Juan (haha) aaya ayaw pa daw back in the day haha.

Umasta ka flaunting your new car, expensive watch & clothes with my friends, and you'll really look stupid sa friends ko (parang , ha? What about it) Then tigin ka sa garages nila and what they're wearing hindi nman branded. But alam mo kidnappable sila. Ako nga pinaka poor ata sa amin

Tignan mo nga ako saan ako based, Manila area Tayuman & Bambang... yuk area, pero so what, nandito kami kumikita and may swerte sa business. Yung relatives ko based in Sta. Ana & Binondo, puro mga sibuyas & luya etc mga store fronts nila, but check their ITR's for a year you know they can live and buy anything they want. Pero naka polo shirt & jeans lang. Really well off people don't flaunt.

I don't know nga lang sa lower generations, but I raised my daughter to be down to earth din.
You want something, learn the value of money.
Wag maging matapobre.

Learn to appreciate those who have worked for you, and make sure taken care of sila, we are where we are right now because of their loyalty then, so when they go, make sure naman may reward din for their loyalty. People who work for us stay talaga.

I don't know nga lang with kids nowadays though. Iba na ang world nila with what we had then.

where i studied,
it didn't matter where one lived, how one traveled to school, or what brand one's paraphernalia and clothes were.
what mattered was, "pumasa ba tayo sa exam?"
i loved my classmates. walang down-looking.
buhat bangko mode.

but yes,
it mattered if one had a car.
after all, what can we commandeer to go to tagaytay, if the classmate didn't have no car for us to commandeer...?
heh heh.

many years later,
nagtataka ako bat ang laki laki nang odometer reading nang kotse kong ginagamit nang college student kong anak...
the world turns.

Everybody turned out OK naman, they run their own enterprises (took over from parents) who trained them well.

The better schools get the better quality students in the lower years, so they generally have better products to work with. They just provide more facilities and better professors, & programs (hindi yung typical na may Masters degree lang , but accomplished people who can impart their wisdom & learning to others in an atmosphere of academic freedom) but is it the end all? Of course not.

School/Uni is just a phase in life to prepare you for the REAL WORLD outside. You can't learn LIVING from the 4 corners of a book, no matter how much you read. It's the personal interactions you have (not the virtual stuff nowadays) with other people that matter.

Sa amin (speaking about my friends that I grew up with, everyone owned this or that business, pero wala sa amin yun because kasama namin sila from childhood, and you cultivate friendships over the years) not some nameless, faceless "Homies" you meet on the internet.

Ok naman kami lahat. Ako, not from the so called top 3, baka sa top 5, eh ok lang naman din naman ako, sila yung mga nasa top 3. Nobody of us cares. School is just a phase in life. Ang importante, marunong ka makisama sa kapwa, if you want to live in real society, and not some anonymous netizen.

Schools aren't just about academics. Its also a venue for socialization, friendships, basically networking. Good schools attract the best students, and naturally those best students will get acquainted with each other. Mas malakas ang bond ng actual na nagkita, kesa "virtual homies" lang. I mean even yung mga internet groups like car clubs do actual meetups. Like it or not, first thought we usually have when going to transact business, "who in this place went to the same school"?

i agree, wholeheartedly.
it is comforting to deal with someone whose thinking mechanics, co-incide with one's own.
even among physicians.

ganyan din sa mating/courtship

school acts as the screening tool -- to screen for potential mates

an informal study...
we noticed that many of our male medical school teachers, MDs, were married to nurses.
once we got into the hospital proper, we understood why.
for several years during training, all these doctor trainees saw, were patients, fellow doctors, and nurses.

sa offices/workplaces ganun din

employees (single) that started working for a company... later on they'll be pairing up
