  Written by: Angel S.Torreon   Is homework necessary for students?   Homework is a word that most students dread hearing. According to Duke professor Harris cooper, it's important that students have homework. However, if students are given too much homework, they won't have enough playtime, which can impact their social development and learning.     By doing an disagreement of necessary homework for students is not mandatory or it's either in just an activity can students gained some skills and knowledge to those low leaners. Our teacher gave us a homework and I wasn't able to do the schoolwork that given by our teacher because I first prioritize the household chores that my mother ordered me to do. Classroom time is important, playground time is just as important. Studies have found that those who get more play get better grades in school, as it can help them play closer attention in the classroom.    As a teenager, all you want to do is have fun, ex...

  Written by: Gabrielle Marie F. Aton   Cheating on someone is one of the worst thing you can ever do to someone. Cheating is essentially telling them that they are not good enough. Cheating in a relationship has become routine in this day and age. People agreed that cheaters should be given second opportunities but I am on the other side of the door.     Giving someone a second chance if they express sincere condolences, declare their love, and wallow in self-pity but then do it again is not a smart idea.    Whatever reason our lover gives, the pain of infidelity is on a different level. I have a friend who admitted that he cheated on his girlfriend, we were friends since the year 2019, we shared tears and laughters but it doesn't mean I will tolerate him. He is my friend but what he did was wrong. The pain of infidelity was not trivial and it should not be underestimated. People thought that if they cheat they will just simply hurt their partner’s fe...

The government does have the right to interfere that more lives will be saved than lost, that morality is legislated in other areas.    Contrary to that Abortion should be legalized because people have the freedom to decide what to do with their own bodies, the government has no business dictating what people should do, and if abortion were murder, many people would be behind bars.     Abortion is very widely considered to be ethically justified to protect the life and health of the mother. Many young women experience rape and sexual assault, and some of them have unintended/unplanned pregnancies. These women are yet unprepared to become a mother. Although they always believe that the child she is carrying is the child of the person who caused her such trauma, she...

       The moment the word “SOCIAL MEDIA” is brought up a lot of ideas will come to people’s mind. People would eventually label social media as good way of communicating. Many of us rely on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram to find and connect with each other. While each has it’s benefits, it is important to remember that social media can never be a replacement for real-world human connection. Some claim that reducing social media usage can actually make you feel less lonely and isolated and improve your overall wellbeing.

If you spend more time on social media when you’re feeling down,lonely, or bored,you may be using it as a way to distract yourself from unpleasant feelings or self-soothe your moods. Ironically for a technology that’s designed to bring people closer together, spending too much time e...

Written by: Christel Torrefiel  When describing someone who is exceptionally gorgeous and possesses flawless good looks, the adjective beautiful is utilized since it is stronger. A person is considered beautiful if they are described as pretty.    Most people believe that pretty face is everything. They think that if you are pretty, everyone will go into you to get your attention.   The idea that various people with diverse life experiences in different cultures develop distinct standards of beauty has long pervaded the social sciences, as epitomized by the proverb "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". If you think that only pretty faces can be attractive, I am fully in opposition to that.   Not all people are into looks, sometimes they're much obsessed with personality.  I have a friend I met online and I noticed that she rarely post her face online. I asked her, and said she was afraid that she might be laughed at because of her face. Because the last t...

Written by: John Fritz Paredes       Hunger is a tragedy not because there isn't enough food, but rather because of persistent poverty. Because of the hunger we experience, it will only depend on the effect of having something to eat. And if we don't work hard, this is the time we will feel hungry. To most people, hunger is a tragedy for many or some of our citizens lack employment because of their situation, that they didn't complete studies due to poverty.    If we are hungry, our body and mind will not function properly. My example is that if a student went to school without eating something will cause him or her to lose focus in class. A student who went to school without eating something will cause him or her to lose focus in class. He or she will lose interest on doing activities like performing. And he or she will never be in a good mood if they are hungry.   Hunger is a tragedy since many citizens lack employment because of poverty. One way is to he...

  Assessment of learning in the twenty-first century does not only come with a pen and paper test. It also involves performance tasks which allow the learners show how much they have learned. One of the good things in a performance task is that it does not only give you the learned concepts in a single subject area but it can also show their learning across subject areas. The following videos showcase my students' outputs in making an Information Advocacy Campaign. In the following videos, not only the students show learning on what an Information Advocacy Campaign is all about but they also show their learning in ICT on the basic video editing skills, which tells us what kind of learners our 21st century students are. The contents of their outputs do not not only give encouragement to the viewers but in the first place give a message to them, as the video creators, the importance of giving value to oneself.  Click the youtube links provided for you to watch.

One of the many things teachers miss in the NORMAL face-to-face-learning-set-up is getting students collaboratively perform a task where they can apply their individual skills learned and join them together to come up with an output which we can all appreciate. A one-act play is one of the lessons in Grade 9 English which tries to make students understand the importance of the elements such as setting, plot, character, characterization, conflict, theme, suspense, and atmosphere in making a play. In a one-act play performance task, the learners try to develop good understanding on how verbal and non-verbal language (which includes body language, facial expression and changes in the voice) should work together to convey the meaning of the scences and have theme communicated to the viewers. Using the script of the "Super Dead Man", my Grade 9 English students performed a one-act play. Please click the youtube link below and enjoy watching. One-Act Play Consider liking the video ...

Women Discrimination: An Overrated Issue Adopted by: Yasa James Vasquez Women have continuously been protesting to achieve equality since the beginning of the 20th century. Although some may argue that women in the country have garnished even more rights than men, many women and feminist groups do not especially agree with the procedure. Party of Feminists still agree that women in today's world are strongly discriminated against. Sometimes, they cite the case of women in countries that are underdeveloped and developing. In developing countries, still women prefer to to believe that they face gender inequality by sexual harassment at their workplace and unfair remuneration. All these comments make it seem as if, by nature, culture is against rights of women. However, are all these claims really true? Are women still discriminated against? To the dismay of feminist and women groups, some recent studies state that often the issue of gender discrimination is overstated — at least at t...

ARE BEAUTY PAGEANTS EXPLOITATIVE? by Fatty Mae Quisto - Grade 9 Beauty pageants are popular nowadays. They are more focused on judging and ranking the candidates' physical appearance. With that notion, people have raised the issue of it being exploitative. As a woman, I consider beauty pageants nowadays really exploitative because the people as represented by the judges tend to compare a girl's beauty to another.  Girls seem to be judged based on their physical beauty rather than their inner beauty. The losers are exploited as they feel inferior over the others after being judged using a single standard of what beauty means. The women who participate are being exploited because they are being graded based on their physical appearance.  How can the judges know if the crowned candidate is really deserving when they only interact with a short period of time? This question runs in my head every time a winner in a beauty is proclaimed. Beauty pageants are in some ways exploitative ...

As technology advances, it now allow users to access the internet, take pictures, play games, and the list goes on. This device becomes more efficient than a telephone because telephone could only access contacts.  DEVVA DUSTA said, "I don't know that cellphones are dangerous. But I don't know that they are safe". Well, the quote has a point. Yes, we don't know that cellphones are dangerous but we also don't know that they are safe. Cellphones or mobile phones has a good impact to our community. If asked if cellular phones are dangerous, I would answer that though there are dangers if used excessively, they are use...
