It is summer time. A school year has just finished and a new one is about to begin. But in this ritual of getting an education we may ask what do our young people really learn?
It is possible to go through the motions of going to school without really learning anything- neither good values nor the basic3R skills. And it does not help any if the tools we use for learning turn out to be defective as well.
That is why in my book, Mr. Antonio Calipjo Go, the school supervisor who has made it his mission to expose error riddled and incompetently written textbooks is a hero. Sadly however, he seems to be alone in his crusade while his critics gang up to discredit him and question his motives.
Mr. ACG deserves our full support and appreciation for what he is doing – fighting the idiotication of the Filipinos.
