About Parent’s warning their students about ‘leftist’ orgs

What's wrong with being a leftist? There are many leftists before who are business and government leaders now.

The important thing is for a student to learn from each experience as it comes. After all, education is not just confined to the four walls of a classroom; everything that revolves around him/her is part and parcel of learning.

Having leftists in society is important because they show us alternatives to what we normally believe is mainstream or established fact. They challenge views and teach us how to see things from a different perspective. It is up to us to judge or reject their political thought.

In Europe and America, leftists are an important part in political discourse. In fact, socialism is an accepted ideology everywhere in the world. That's why many political parties openly identify themselves as leftists.

Having leftists thrive in our political mainstream is the hallmark of a truly democratic way of life. Only when we accept them and defend their right to express themselves can we really claim to be democratic. Suppressing their views and even banning them from the free market of ideas is the most undemocratic act anyone can ever do.

And when leftists go to the mountains to propagate their ideals, then that's an indication that a society is being undemocratic because it cannot tolerate unorthodox views. When that happens, a society that claims itself to be democratic ought to be ashamed.

As Voltaire once said, "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it!"

That's the student's choice coz whether you like it or not or either you mean it or not............ it's them that's gonna join, not the parents. And no matter how much they warn their children about this, if they don't give enough responsibility or attention then it's no use. Frats are sometimes enticing especially if you're not given enough attention from your parents (that's on the student's standing point). You'll have friends and be a part of a "so called" brotherhood and many more promises of communion.

But hey if the children could just understand what risks it takes to be part of these organization and what implication it will give to their student life but also to their school performance and behavior at home or anywhere then I guess they would think more than just twice when invited to an organization. It's their lives their placing in risk if they just overlook things........... if they really have the enough qualities to survive in such environments then there's no stopping em'. It's also for their experience or if they want to learn the lesson the "hard way".

Just remember that the brain is not placed in top of your body to be neglected and have the last say over the heart or feelings. Too much CURIOSITY could lead you somewhere unexpected.

Studies reveal that most students who opt to become members of fraternities do so due to lack of love at home. To feel belongingness, they look up to fraternities as a way of compensating for the absence or lack of closeness of family members at home.

So, the next time parents complain over their kids falling for fraternities, they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

^^not all mn cgro. naa lng juy uban nga gara-on...

are you saying that KSP ang naa sa FRAT?

It's not KSP, coz they only need attention FROM the home or the parents. Commonly, this happens when both parents are working and don't have enough time to spend with their children or a single parent who needs to go to work all day. This is what gives them the urge to look for "friends" outside which would actually end up with them joining organizations because of the similar promises of being not left alone, a sense of the so-called "brotherhood" or compassion for them.

It's their emotions sometimes that makes them join groups most especially frats though they knew what the risks are. Now, the parents should not be surprised when their sons are on frats when they don't spend a single hour with the, either in leisure or personal parent-son talk. These things are the most improtant part of the family relation and from keeping the kids out of those leftists orgs. Having even a small time to be with them, talk to em personally and don't just warn them the usual way like yawyaw or scolding them, this will only make them to do it more.

Parent’s warning about ‘leftist’ orgs

My son is an incoming freshman in one of our metropolitan universities. He will be new in the city but we already gave him the forewarning that he should concentrate on his studies and school activities rather than be enticed to join school organizations which are known to be affiliated with communist organizations.

This letter is also a reminder to other students not only for “probinsyanos” like my son but to all students whether freshmen or not, to shun student activism in their schools.

Student activism is good if it will be for the good of students and improvements and development in one’s place of learning. But if it already involves national issues, and agitation, and joining rallies and demonstrations against the government, it becomes a different story.

Students are meant to go to school to get an education. Joining left-leaning organizations and even illegal fraternities oftentimes causes students to lose their opportunity to become graduates and earn a college degree and be productive citizens in the future. Students should avoid being recruited by illegal organizations which will surely cause their downfall. We are facing this come the school opening.

Mao gyud ni sakto buhaton sa mga parents. Labi na kung naa sa mga state owned universities where rampant kaayo ning mga leftist, frats, and even christian groups. As a parent, if you want your son/daughter to be someone, warningan gyud nimo daan aning mga gropoha. In other words, hatag gyud advise or back grounds aning mga leftleaning orgs. advise what are the groups to join. pagabot man gud sa state universities,walay paki ang mga teachers kung asa ka na groupomutampo, unlike sa private universities na well monitored and mga organizations. Parents gyud ang naay dako na influence sa studyante if unsay angay na org apilan.

That's because you were simply contented about yourself despite the lack of parents to be there. Most cases are on the emotional side the they tend to fill in those gaps through joining groups of the same age.

Sometimes, naa man ju'y mga taw nga bisag wala na'y ginikanan pero wala jud padala sa ilahang kasubo. OPTIMISM is what drives them, they knew the risks also and they can do well on their on.

ANg kinahanglan lang pod sa nila ron is also an OPTIMISTIC PERSPECTIVE about their lives...... that they can be better off for themselves and does not need to compromise their safety and performance for joining frats.
