FOR SAHS.
Like, is it really about academic performance anymore, or palakasan na lang talaga? Porket close ka kay prof, favorite student ka, or you know how to ask for favors, may chance na ma-adjust yung grades mo para pumasa?
Kasi yung iba, no matter how hard they study, kahit puyat na puyat na and ginagawa na talaga nila yung best nila, bumabagsak pa rin. And you know what? They learn to accept it. Tinatanggap nila yung grades nila kahit masakit, kahit alam nilang nag-effort sila, because they understand na hindi lahat ng effort guaranteed na passing grade. They take accountability, learn from their mistakes, and try even harder next time. Hindi man nila gusto yung result, they accept it because they believe na fair yung system and that grades should reflect their actual performance.
Tapos may mga situations na parang ang dali lang para sa iba na mapakiusapan na ma-adjust yung grades nila? LIKE, EXCUSE ME, WHAT HAPPENED TO FAIRNESS? 😭 Yung iba, kahit anong aral at effort, tinatanggap ang pagbagsak, pero yung iba, may chance pang maipasa through special consideration? So saan na talaga yung academic integrity dito?
ANO NA BA TALAGA, SAHS?
What’s the point of promoting “EDUCATION THAT WORKS” kung ganito naman yung situation? Like, how can you encourage students to work hard and do their best kung may mga instances na parang hindi na academic performance yung nagiging basis for passing? Nakaka-demotivate lang talaga mag-aral nang maayos when you feel like the system isn’t even fair to everyone.
Imagine doing your best, accepting your grades kahit masakit, and taking accountability for your performance, only to hear concerns na may possibility palang ma-adjust yung grades ng iba because of personal connections. Like, how are students supposed to trust the system if they feel that the same standards might not apply to everyone? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE???
And we’re talking about MEDTECH, guys. This is not just about passing a subject or getting a good grade. We’re talking about a program that requires actual knowledge, competence, and skills because, eventually, these students will handle laboratory procedures and contribute to patient care.
If a student is struggling with MTAP and hasn’t mastered the required competencies, tapos somehow makakapasa through special consideration, then what happens next? What about the next subjects? What about internship? And most importantly, what happens when they take the board exam?
Because let’s be real, hindi naman professors nila ang sasagot sa boards for them. They’re the ones who will face the consequences if they lack the knowledge and preparation needed. And in the long run, it’s not just about them anymore. May future patients na rin na umaasa sa competence nila.
MEDTECH IS NOT A COURSE WHERE YOU CAN JUST PASS SOMEONE FOR THE SAKE OF PASSING. The standards exist for a reason, and if those standards are going to be implemented, then they should apply to EVERYONE, not just to students who aren’t close enough to ask for consideration.
And what makes it even more disappointing is when a professor repeatedly says, “Hindi ako nag-a-adjust ng grade,” pero kapag close or favorite student na, suddenly, parang may exceptions? WOW NAMAN. 😭 So does that principle only apply to certain students? Is it really about maintaining academic integrity, or does it depend on WHO is asking?
Because honestly, FAVORITISM HAS NO PLACE IN EDUCATION. Being a good student should be about your actual performance, not about how close you are to your professor. If there are legitimate grounds for grade adjustments, then fine, as long as they follow the university’s policies and are applied consistently. But if personal relationships become a factor, then that’s a serious concern that deserves to be addressed.
And no, this isn’t about being bitter just because someone passed or because someone else failed. It’s about wanting a fair system. It’s about students who actually put in the effort and deserve to know that the same standards apply to everyone. Hindi naman masamang gustuhing makapasa ang lahat, but passing should mean that you’ve met the requirements, not that you have the right connections.
Nakaka-disappoint lang because students are already dealing with so much pressure. We stay up late reviewing, we stress over exams, we sacrifice our rest, and we try our best to meet our professors’ expectations. May mga students na kahit anong effort, hindi pa rin pumapasa, pero tinatanggap nila because they know they still have room to improve. They don’t demand special treatment. They don’t expect the rules to change just for them. They accept the consequences and try to do better.
So why should anyone feel that other students might get a different kind of treatment just because they’re close to a professor? Why should the students who accept their failures and work hard to improve feel like they were the only ones playing by the rules?
To the MEDTECH PROFS of SAHS, sana naman, please be consistent with your standards. If a student deserves to pass, then let them pass because they earned it. If they still need improvement, then give them the opportunity to learn and improve instead of compromising the standards just to make things easier.
Because at the end of the day, GRADES SHOULD BE EARNED, NOT NEGOTIATED.
And if we’re really promoting “EDUCATION THAT WORKS,” then it should work fairly for EVERYONE, not just for those who happen to be close to the right people.
Kasi honestly, if education is supposed to prepare us for our future careers, then how can we trust the system if we even have to question whether the grading process is fair?
SOBRANG UNFAIR LANG.
And if there’s nothing wrong with the system, then why are students starting to question it? Maybe it’s time to take these concerns seriously, because academic integrity should never be compromised, especially in a course like MEDTECH. 🤷🏻♀️
But of course, I also want to acknowledge and say THANK YOU to the professors who genuinely help their students pass in the RIGHT WAY. To those professors who take the time to teach, guide, give constructive feedback, and provide opportunities for improvement, thank you. Thank you for helping students understand their lessons, work on their weaknesses, and become better without compromising academic standards.
You prove that helping students succeed doesn’t mean giving them grades they haven’t earned. It means giving them the proper guidance, support, and opportunities to improve so they can genuinely achieve the results they worked hard for.
Hindi kailangang may palakasan, personal connections, or bayaran just to help a student pass. A good professor knows how to be considerate without being unfair, and how to support struggling students without compromising the quality of education.
THAT is what education should look like. Helping students become better, not simply making sure they pass. Thank you for choosing fairness, integrity, and genuine concern for your students’ futures. You are the kind of professors who remind us why education still matters. Your efforts deserve recognition, and we hope your commitment to fairness continues to inspire other educators. 🤍
EDUCATION SHOULD BE ABOUT LEARNING, NOT CONNECTIONS. PASSING SHOULD BE BASED ON COMPETENCE, NOT FAVORITISM.
And no student who genuinely accepts their failure and works hard to improve should ever have to wonder whether the system is fair to them.
At the end of the day, real education doesn’t simply produce students who pass. It produces competent, responsible, and ethical professionals.
And in Medical Technology, those standards should never be compromised for anyone.
