On Filipino Developers and The Local IT Education Scene

Caveat: I am currently enrolled in a certain IT education system known for its ads featuring two teen actresses, one of which is associated with the so-called "jologs" and "bakya" crowd, with the other being too sugary-sweet and having a gratingly high-pitched voice. The opinions presented herein are my own and not my school's- besides, I honestly

Well said insan. I fully agree with your sentiments.

We're in the same boat when it comes to one constraint (I think): It's not like we really have a choice.

The diploma justifies the means, hehe. Godspeed. =)

True, and I for one wish it weren't the case. (Call me arrogant, but I'm not learning anything in that school anyway. ;) )

You and a whole bunch of people. Sad isn't it?

I do wish for the improvement of that school. There are times when I think that they're just getting money from their students and that is all.

I do remember us talking about that colleague of yours and how terrible it was at that time.

Sad to say, IT education right now is not exactly the best. There are still some schools that seem to produce competent graduates but not all IT schools can claim that. I guess that some schools are in it because of the money. However, I think that there is a greater problem with the way teachers, well, teach, and the facilities that schools provide their students. There has to be a way to foster learning.

Somehow. If people start getting serious about it, I think something's gonna happen.

Two sides of the same coin

And that is exactly why you stand out from the rest of the crowd. Now that you know that, ask yourself what you can do given that strategic advantage?
