PAREF-Springdale against single parents or OFWs?

[crossramz]

I think its not true, just a misconceptions. The owner of Mayflower Realty Inc got her grandsons to Paref with their parents abroad.
I knew that family so I can say na misconcepted lang mo sa pagbasa ninyo sa ila policy. Though didn't backread all of your posts,

Well every parent can choose to enroll or not to enroll his/her child in that school. I think every private institution have their own laws to be followed religiously by the students and parents. Nganong ipamugos man nimu imung bata didto nga daghang mang laing mudawat.
I think ila nang gihimo nga rule because they know unsay main cause sa problemed child. Usually aning mga bataa kay single or buwag buwag ang parents or diba naa sa abroad. And dili sila magka problema sulod sa eskwelahan aning mga bataa. Well dili hinoon tanan anak aning single parents kay problemed child, naay uban nga mo excel ug buotan.

Sa among batch sa Don Bosco, gepang hinay2x ug kickout ang mga bayot... I don't know kung unsa ilang stand. Basta ang mga wala natabang, gepang abog na. Ang mga na repair pa, pabilin.

Pero naay uban pagka trabaho ra nangabayot kay naka trabaho ug call center.

As far as the TS's thread is concerned, PAREF's admission policy does discriminate against children of OFWs and single parents...and this unfortunately is the case for a lot of Filipinos. Driven by poverty to seek their fortune in foreign lands, a typical OFW often leaves the caretaking of his/her children to his/her spouse. PAREF could be blind to these realities, but our laws perhaps do not really infringe upon a private schools' (aka Catholic Schools) rights to admit or bar students as they see fit for their system.

In any case, why go to a school run by religious nut jobs? Your kids would be better off not wasting their time on religious flim-flams and other idiotic riffraffs invented by obscurantist con-men...er I mean clergymen and tight-a-s-s nuns. Unfortunately, other schools are probably just as bad or worse. Good Luck!!

hahahahahahhaha.... SOUR GRAPING MUCH? ? ?

Relax, okay? .... Some people here are just too tired of your constipated rhetorics.
You're sounding like a nut-job yourself with your high-falutin, obscurantist, nonsense superlatives.

An "ignorant" institution is educating millions of students all over the globe everyday, while self-proclaimed "intelligentsia"" DO NOTHING but sit in their comfy armchairs, feed themselves with trash from the internet, and excrete the same undigested cr*p everywhere.

What a sad irony indeed.

Somehow this is the perception and I had the same perception because I was too ignorant to explore it. I've always wanted to enroll my son because I had really good feedback from my Cousins and friends who transferred their kids to Paref from diffrent schools. So I've inquired for 3 years but never got to enroll because every time I hear the "perception" people are spreading, I stop immediately.

Finally, I enrolled him this year. Yes the tuition is expensive but it's because you are paying for 3. You are paying for your kid, and the mom and dad's tuition. As new parents, we are required to attend a couple of programs about parenting and marriage. These are sessions you would normally not proactively enroll yourself and despite how busy we are, we managed to attend them. But it was really helpful and really tackles on the things we take for granted.

And yes, PAREF prefers MARRIED couples because their belief is a child's development will grow to it's strongest potential if supported and really overlooked by both parents. But don't get me wrong, we also have single parents. What's important is the time the parent's can provide to their kids.

I've really seen the great improvement on my son. He is more disciplined and is very eager to perform and get good grades. Before when I ask him to study he would always say I am tired but never too tired to pick up his IPAD the next second. Now he comes home really chatty and would always prepare his school diaries and activities, exams results laid out in the table so I can sign.

A lot of good things I've observed that i feel really works:

The school provides a yearly calendar so the parent's can work on their schedules.
The students do not have classes every 1st fri of the month so PAREF can train their teachers which I think is a good breather for my son too and I plan my leaves so I can spend time with him.
They assign councilors to each kid that are from the board committee that you can meet with every month.
They have a daily diary and I leave notes to the teachers and they always answer.
They provide stewardship, brotherhood, friendly competition as they divide the whole school into two houses like the harry potter movie "house of gryffindor!" so they are mentored by the higher graders.
The older kids alternately come in early and situates themselves in the entrance so they can help the little kids with their heavy bags. (Since they promote bringing of books daily but has individual lockers that they can arrange at the start of the day)
They have an excellent sports history. You can check their websites on the nationals and diversified sports they won.

AND SOOOO MUCH MORE.

it's what is known as radicalism. It's everywhere. There are radical catholics, radical protestants, radical muslims.

Is it true that Paref-Springdale does not accept kids with single parents or OFW's? because they require that both parents are physically present and are together.

That is dictatorship in my book. Just because the parents are not married or abandoned or the other or both parents are working abroad under the care of a relative, what if the child is capable? The fault of the parents is not the fault of the child.

Isn't there a law against this? If this is true, then Opus Dei is delusional and somebody ought to file a complaint.

Check out their "Statement of Principles" on their website Springdale

Are these guys moral freaks or what?!

I don't see this being the general case, seeing as I have known and have friends with several Springdale students who have either OFW parents or have only one parent.

That being said, while the statement of principles doesn't discriminate (It solely wishes to clarify), the current school administration is one I am unfamiliar with. So if anything, don't take it up against the school, take it up against the individuals' responsible. Emotional appeals such as this help no one and only serve to undermine your desire for better equity.
