The 'dynamics' are exactly the same and accurate. The 'magnitude' of exploitation is the only variable,..... which is dictated by the opportunity or situation.
 
I see it all of the time in my work, at the individual and social levels....
 
 
And '404' of contributory RA2 posts.....
Input is appreciated. :)

I found that the further that I got into high school the better it became. There isn't a much more satisfying feeling than understanding university calculus in 12th grade (senior year for all you yanks).

As for uniforms, I don't mind them. Unless your government is pointing a gun at your head, nobody is "forcing" you to attend a school where they are mandatory, so I think the "supressing personal freedom" argument is a bunch of crap.

I agree. I also found it became more rewarding for me the more I progressed.

Actually, the subjects and lessons are awesome. Our only problem is with the teachers. Most of the important subjects were taught by lazy-ass jerks who always give out homeworks and quizzes but no discussions at all. How in the world can we learn from them? I wanted to take Computer/Mechanical Engineering for college, but our physics teacher can't even explain Ohm's Law properly. Even our math teacher can make us understand most of the physics concepts in one sitting. Our research teacher forced our research group to join the Intel ISEF competition, but couldn't even give us some simple researching tips!

I'm still wondering why most of the countrymen consider this as one of the best schools in the Philippines.
