Is this still normal?
I am genuinely wondering if my situation is still normal and acceptable.
Context: I am from GCOE, on my last term, and only taking one subject which is a pre-boards course for engineering (a course designed to prepare you for the board exam). Mind you, this is my THIRD TAKE of this subject, and it looks like I am failing it again this term. More than 60% of the class fail this course every term. I know people who are already on their 5th take. Most of my batchmates are also on their 3rd and 4th take. Yung sections namin umaabot ng 5 sections every term, 120+ students in total and I would say at least 80% are retakers. Mahirap talaga yung course, imagine every single lesson in your program cramped in one subject AND harder.
God knows how hard I study just to pass this course. Some of my friends took lessons and enrolled in review centers but for some reason, we still could not pass this course.
Skill issue ba ito ng mga students? Or is there genuinely something wrong with the system? We give feedback at the end of every term on what could be improved with the course and the teaching, pero walang nangyayari. No curving and no remedials which honestly I get naman.
I really don’t know at this point. This is the only course I have left, and failing it again and again has been taking a heavy toll on me. I just can’t accept all the time and money I am wasting on this one particular course. Binibigay ko na lahat, pero hindi pa rin ako pumapasa. I don't know how to tell my parents, its just so disappointing.
My grades have been improving with every quiz naman and I feel more confident studying now pero bagsak pa rin ako. Hindi ko maintindihan anong problema.
