ABYG kung hindi deserve ng kaklase ko gumraduate?
I am a fourth year graduating student taking up BS Accountancy. We are currently in our last semester and is set to graduate on July, tho nasa finals week pa lang kami at kailangan pa namin muna pumasa bago maging sure na makakapag-martsa kami.
I have a blockmate, let's name him John. I would describe John as a leader. Mahilig siya sumali sa mga school orgs since first year kami and climbed his way up to regional orgs. He seems pretty smart too, tipong kahit absent siya on most days and papasok lang pag nababalitaan niyang may quiz or exam ay nakakapasa pa rin siya.
Actually, nagka-issue na si John before about sa attendance niya. Nabalitaan namin na balak na siyang i-drop ni Prof Alan dahil 3 meetings na siyang wala. Mind you, every Saturday na lang yun pero di niya pa mapasukan. Now we are in our last semester, and 5 na lang yung subjects na tinetake namin which are integrated topics for the boards. We usually have 1 class a day and it's just a 3-hour lecture. This is important to remember for later.
Yung professor namin sa isang subject, wala siyang pake sa attendance. John took this opportunity to be absent as much as he wants, as long as he will pass the quizzes and exams. Surprisingly, he does, and it triggered most of my blockmates, saying na paano siya nakakapasa kung hindi siya pumapasok?
Marie was one of the triggered ones, which was odd because Marie was also a student leader since first year and same sila ng org ni John. Marie is also a friend of a friend, so during this particular subject, we are in the same circle. She was ranting in our GC na paano nakalusot si John despite Prof Alan being open sa class na ibabagsak na nga niya si John dahil hindi nga pumapasok? Sila nga raw na laging pumapasok, binagsak ni Prof Alan and they had to retake the subject this semester as well. I jokingly said na, "What if i-email natin yung Chairperson about kay John? Charot." Sa chat to, so obviously I was joking dahil nagsabi pa ako ng charot, diba?
The next day nagulat ako na she was encouraging her other friends to join her sa paggawa ng petition to not let John graduate. Sabi ko joke lang yun and told her na she shouldn't do it, but she was determined. I didn't send an email kahit sinabi kong magssend ako because I didn't think they would actually push through with my joke. Sampu silang nagsend ng email. This was last week. Today, they were called sa Chairperson's office to discuss. I don't think John has an idea about the situation yet because yes, absent din siya today. That's pretty much all the info I have up to this point.
This issue spread like wildfire and hati ang opinions. Some say na hindi niya nga deserve gumraduate dahil sila na 2 or 3 points away from passing Prof Alan's class, hindi napagbigyan and had to retake as well. Tapos siya na more than 3 absences ang ginawa which should be considered dropped (this is based on the student manual) but how come that he passed?
Yung iba naman, ang rationale is crab mentality raw. Hindi raw maganda na naghihilaan pa kami pababa kung kailan graduating na kami. Some say na baka inggit daw dahil nakakapasa kahit di pumapasok while they are the opposite; pumapasok pero bagsak.
I do understand both sides. Feeling ko lang na ako yung gago dahil ako yung nagbring up about sa pageemail, even when I said it jokingly. ABYG?
