School Dilemma - Need Opinions/Inputs

[theveed]

St. Scho Marikina, Doc...

[just4u]

might as well go to the school... with grandma,granpa,BIL,you (theveed) and wife... tapos, go to the principal together with the kid's teacher - para may guarantor.... hehehehe!!!! and appeal... siguro naman papayagan na siya... kawawa din ang bata eh... hindi man matuloy meron pa rin iyan repercussion emotionally....

[kinyo]

makukuha pa sa pakiusap yan ... special circumstances require special consideration

ipaliwanag lang maige na malaking bagay sa bata ang biyahe nya at yung mga tickets ay hindi biro ang pag-ipon nun

personally, i would keep asking for consideration and if it doesn't work, we'll go with the trip anyway ... the emotional experience of the child during those few days outweighs anything about school ... besides, i seriously doubt the missed exams can cause non-promotion to next grade considering her good performance ... she may lose class standing but not promotion

Hirap ng sitwasyon.

We were in a similar situation a few years ago. I think our firstborn was in Grade4 and our secondborn was in pre-school and both missed a day in school as we were returning from an out-of-town vacation.

I remember that they kept on telling my wife and myself that they missed a day in school, probably because of peer pressure.

Talk to the child first and let her make an unbiased decision. Then, approach the school again, personally, and ask for consideration.

Negotiate, if possible.

IMO, lahat napag-uusapan....



:starwars:

[lolo pepe]

yes, kausapin uli ang school. sabihin din sa class adviser at sa principal na siguradong me pasalubong sila pagbalik ng bata.

[theveed]

Bwehehe o nga no :P

[Airwalk]

sir theveed, di ba puwede re-book ang flight on a later date or after the exam? check with the airline,pagkaka alam ko po, correct me if im wrong, additional $50 ata pag re book ng flight.

its not hard to understand how difficult the situation is for your niece and SIL, as well as for all of you but as early as now, the child IMO should learn to prioritize things.school muna dapat. im not saying spending time with her mother is not important, but the reason why her mother is working abroad is to give her a better future which includes education right?

i say, postpone the vacation after the exam, a day or two wouldnt hurt.

opinion ko lang po.

[the_wildthing]

If the formal channels don't work, try the personal approach. Go there in person and maybe emotions, not reason will prevail.

[nugundam93]

given the circumstances that forced both the exam and departure date to conflict, dapat pagbigyan na siya ng school.

[lolo pepe]

another option: sabihin mo sa principal na mag do donate na lang kayo ng $100 para sa school. and all of you (plus all tsikoteers reading this thread) will keep this in confidence. at may pasalubong pa rin siya... hehehe.

this is better than paying the rebooking fee of $50 each for the 3 tickets.

[empy]

konting carinyo lang ni theveed sa old maid na principal solb na yan :evillaugh

[vinkim]

sir what time po ba yung exam ng bata? baka namn she can take the exam on dat day din pero mas earlier ng konte.

bos u myt as well want to tell us the name of the school baka may kakilala tayo sa school na yun or yung ibang members. or if u like kausapin nyo ung dep ed. hehe

Reminds me of a relative of mine who prioritized school over almost anything else. Doesn't even attend the birthdays of siblings/parents dahil 'mag-aaral daw'. Kesyo may quiz, test, exams, etc. Pero ako nandun sa handaan kahit schoolmates naman kami! hehehehe.

Minsan talaga mahalaga ang family. Looking back, I never regretted spending time with family.

[kimpOy]

tama si gasjunkie...that 5 days can be a life changing experience...


edit: which cannot be taught at school...

(ayan nahawa na rin ako kay gasjunkie with his edit thingie) he..he

[empy]

pero ngayong tumanda na ako sila naman ang nanghihingi ng pera so ayoko na :bwahaha:

You have to ask for permission first :bleh:




:fly:

Edit aside from premarital ***, what do we learn from school????

Edit2 she's young, she'll get over it.

[russpogi]

Ask for a special exam. Takot ang mga teachers/school admin sa parents! hehehe!

[seonadancing]

What kind of a sick principal doesn't give consideration anyway. Siguro nga wala syang asawa o anak kaya tigas yun puso nya. I'd skip school to be with my mom and i don't even have to think about it twice, kahit board exam pa yan. Eh grade 2 lang ito e. If money was something i have a lot of then ok lang mag pa resched, but as you said, the mom could only have this few days to be on leave so wala din. I suggest that you go there and ask them one more time, if they say no, then go with the trip anyway.

[bunge]

hanap kayo ng madre na pwedeng nyong pakiusapan na kausapin yong principal ng st. scho. o kaya, baka naman mapakiusapan ng parish priest nyo. mas madali pag may common person na kakausap sa principal. pag di pa rin nakuha sa pakiusap, hanap ng ka ng tsikoteer na pwedeng lumigaw sa principal na madre, hehehe.

[Syuryuken]

Grade 2 pa lang naman tsaka ang final exam sa march pa konti lang percentage nyan. Bawi na lang sa 3rd grading.

hindi rin makakapag-aral/makakapag-exam ng mabuti ang bata kung ang nasa isip nya yung pagkikita/excitement nya sa nanay nya. Sabi nga nila physically present but mentally absent.
