School: Where do your kids study?

[swordsman]

Ang mamahal tuition fee sa Lasalle, Ateneo, and the likes. Di naman ako si Manny na mapapag-aral ang anak sa Brent

Saan ba yong mas mura naman konti ang tuition, and at the same time comparable ang teaching here in Metro Manila? That's for pre-school, elementary, and highschool.

I've heard of U.P. Laboratory(?), Philippine/Manila/Mandaluyong Science High School, and some other public(or semi-public? not sure) schools that are good. But how do you get your children to enter these schools, especially UP? Any pre-requisites/preparations(in terms of getting them in the right track), exams to pass? Tips naman po, before my kids start schooling in a couple of years or so

I have nothing against the 'Mababang/Mataas na Paaralan ng ....' in my area, but really, with the number of enrollees they have, i really doubt the kids truly get the attention each one deserves.
