“These poor kids always spend the first few months kind of looking around like “We left my country for THIS?” It’s really sad.”

My brother is married to a Filipina so I may be biased here. In the RP, the first thing they do in class is “good morning”, then prayer as the RP is a Christian nation. Since kindergarten, they drill this into your system. 2nd, they always post the top students in every class from 1 to whenever. If you are dead last, not only are you embarrassed but you are forced to catch up as having students repeat a grade is nothing to them unlike L.A. public high school which is a no-no.

Most importantly, almost no parent would ever send their kids to public school as the private Christian schools are the ticket to university.

And would you believe that there is no such thing as “free school meals” in the Philippines? Makes American kids look like pansies, doesn’t it?

Yes. Fat pansies, most of them. Oh, you should see some of the kids here, it’s just ... disturbing.
