Hi, I made this one. I've played Wordle-likes for years and always wanted to build my own, but I never had an idea that felt like mine.

The push came from a strange place. Half of what I read these days is written by AI, and it's never short. Every email, every doc, twelve words where five would do. At some point I said the phrase out loud, long story short, and realised it was a game.

So: you get a twelve-word sentence. You rephrase it in exactly five of its own words. Real English, same meaning, your job is to work out which words carry the sentence and which are just dressed up to look important. Scoring is Wordle style, blue for right word in the right spot, orange for in the answer but elsewhere, grey for out. Five tries, one sentence a day.

My wife and my brother were the playtesters. An early version let "the" beat proper words in the answer, which felt awful to lose to, so the answers now always favour the concrete word. That one change ate a whole weekend.

I always thinking about this. Bakit ang mga deped secretary wala man lang PhD? Or experienced in the field na alam mong makakaintind at mauunawaan ang mga teachers. Lalo pa ngayon nagbabadya ang another du30 presidency, i wonder ano na naman kayang curriculum ang ipapaimplement sa mga kawawang tcs.

This year, we have seen an increasing incidence of violence at school. I've read somewhere here in Reddit that existing na daw to before but hindi lang tayo aware kasi walang social media, pero it can't be denied na halos wala tayong shooting or stabbing incidents sa mga schools before; ngayon, sobrang dami na.

If you're a parent, it is your responsibility to raise your kids into a safe, productive member of the society. Pero i rarely see this now. Kids nowadays are being raised as entitled, spoiled brats with no sense of accountability and responsibility or any form of resilience. Parang di na uso yung discipline at home, and we just let our kids be na parang di na turuan kung ano yung mabubuting asal in public. Parents are refusing to take accountability in raising their kids with good manners and right conduct, and minsan ang parents pa mismo ang nagmo-model ng bad behavior and proud pa sila nyan to post on social media. Worse, teachers are being blamed for these students behavior, as if they're paid enough, eh konting discipline lang coming from a teacher, bashed agad sa social media by the parents.

I quit being a teacher and I don't have kids, and i am glad i did both.

Some people are worried about the drastic decline of population in the Philippines, pero i think how we're raising kids today is a much more risk for the future of humanity.

Thoughts nyo on this?

Hello po! Just a general question po

4th year student teacher here, BSED major in Math. Throughout my college journey and even now na student teacher na ako, almost everyday kong naririnig na "in-demand" at "kulang na kulang" ang mga Math and Science majors and kesyo "pag-aagawan" daw kami kagraduate. How true is this po based on your experiences, lalo na sa mga private schools (or even sa DepEd)?

Genuinely curious since I need to apply and gain teaching experience in private schools immediately after graduation for my future endeavors, but I observe na parang hindi naman ganun karami ang openings or teaching opportunities sa mga schools dito. Hopefully, I'll be proven wrong.

Thank you po in advance!

Term 1 is about to end pero until now wala pa din official class record, alam niyo ba yung email address ng naglalabas nito? Email ko lang sana kase antagal sobra, exam na next week and mabilisan din dapat for card giving also.

r/DepEdTeachersPH Hello po Teachers, I'm aspiring to be a topnotcher this exam season yet I think I'm not that sure if I can do it. I'm currently enrolled in CBRC, I consistently top the mock boards, also a medalist during the latest National Quiz Bee. Do I have the chance to top the board?

Another thought of mine is my majorship which is Math, sa previous math majors po talaga po bang humirap po ang majorship natin? (Any tips po please)

PS: may offer po kasi sila sa university namin if topnotcher may work ka po agad and I'm thinking this is the only way to help my parents immediately since mag isa ko lang po and they're both senior citizens na :<

Good evening, teachers! Sana ay safe po ang lahat sa mga panahon na ito.

For context lang po: I'm a FreshGrad ng BSEd Science, Summa Cum Laude, ranked 2nd sa entire batch namin, consistent academic awards, and "pride" ng program kumbaga (IDK how to describe po huhu). Additionally, I have been working since June this year since I'm a DOST scholar and wanted to pursue Return Service as soon as I can kaya nag-apply na ng work.

Ang tanong ko po ay: Can I still topnotch even if I haven't done intensive review and am only starting a little over a month before the LEPT?

Due to work, hindi ko natutukan ang review ko though I'm enrolled naman po sa RC. I also have a review schedule pero sobrang tight niya (up to September 18, two days before the exam) although complete naman. The problem is, we took a formative exam kanina for ProfEd, GenEd, and Major and dude I feel like nasa line of 8 out of 100 lang scores ko sa lahat. Could it be because late na ako nag-seryoso and memorize? (esp. for GenEd)

Any tips, answer, or sampal ng katotohanan you can offer po?

P.S. I'm really feeling the pressure from my peers, former topnotchers ng university namin na kilala ako, faculty, and even myself. Kaya ko ba 'to? Salamat pos a any help huhu (desperate cries)

P.P.S. I don't want to sound entitled or out of touch or what, talagang need ko lang po talaga ng opinion ng iba kasi I've been overthinking so much :((

Hi everyone, especially to our DepEd teachers and school administrators here. First of all, I want to apologize for posting this here, but I am currently in a very difficult situation and I really need some advice regarding my Senior High School records.

I completed Grade 11 at a private school under the DepEd Voucher Program. For Grade 12, I decided to transfer to a public high school. I did not sign any Basic Education Enrollment Form (BEEF), did not sign any contract, paid zero fees, and never attended a single day of class at the private school for Grade 12. In fact, I was never encoded in the LIS under them for Grade 12, and my official Certificate of Registration (COR) shows a payment status of 0.00 with TBA class schedules. I am currently actively enrolled and attending my Grade 12 classes in my new public school.

However, when my public school issued an official Request Letter for my Form 137 / SF10, the private school registrar refused to process or transmit it. They claim I have an active portal balance of around ₱8,700+ because their system automatically rolled my account over for Grade 12. The registrar told me that since I didn’t formally "withdraw" or notify them, I am liable for the auto-generated fee, and even claimed that voucher students are required to finish Grade 12 in the same school (which I know isn't true under DepEd guidelines).

I know that under Civil Code Articles 1318 and 1157, no contract exists without consent, so an auto-generated fee cannot be a legal basis to hold records. Also, DepEd Order No. 54, s. 2016 mandates school-to-school record transmittals. Since the registrar is refusing to cooperate at the counter window, I am trying to figure out my best options.

For teachers, registrars, or SDO personnel here:

What is the most effective way to approach the Schools Division Office (SDO) Private School Unit / Legal Desk for an assistance request?

Should I file a simple Letter Request for Assistance first, or go straight to a formal complaint?

In the meantime, can I execute an Affidavit of Undertaking at my current public school so my Grade 12 standing/graduation won't be delayed while this transmittal issue is being resolved?

Again, I apologize for taking up space on this subreddit, but any insights or advice from people who have handled similar transmittal disputes would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much!

May idea ako kung paano maengganyo na yung mga taga-lowland na T1 applicants na ma-assign sa remote mountainous areas at yung mga estudyante sa mga lugar na yan ay hindi na kailangan pa lumusong sa ilog at bundok araw-araw mula sa kanilang bahay patungo sa eskwelahan, kundi every weekend na lang ay yung mga eskwelahan sa remote mountainous barangays ay gawing boarding schools, na may kasama na living quarters para sa mga non-resident teachers tulad ng military barracks para sa mga sundalo at church convent sa mga pari at pastor.

In this setup, hindi na gagastos through a loan ang non-resident teachers na naka-assign sa remote mountainous barangays, para lang may pambayad sa boarding house o rental house outside sa school premises, kung mag-stay put na lang sila sa teacher living quarters. Sa parte ng mga estudyante, hindi na mamimiligro ang buhay nila sa paglusong sa ilog araw-araw, especially kung may bagyo, kasi doon na lang sa boarding school sila namamalagi, so wala nang unnecessary class interruption na nagpapalala ng learning crisis.

Through the boarding school system, ma-cu-cultivate ng mga estudyante sa elementary level ang sense of personal independence, kung saan, since magiging physically malayo sila sa parent nila na busy sa pagtatrabaho, sila mismo ay matuto sa murang edad na tumayo sa kanilang sariling paa.

Ano ang masasabi ninyo, mga kaguro, sa ideya ko?

Hi po! Pagbati! I’m a science major and I’m planning to take LET exam next March 2027. I’m also currently working po pero maluwag-luwag naman ang time kaya gusto ko na magstart ng review.

But the problem is I don’t know where to start. Tinatry ko rin po to search on my own kaso naooverwhelm ako and doubting if tama ba ang ginagawa ko. Kaya sana po may makasagot.

1. Alin po ba sa tatlo ang uunahin ko dapat na reviewhin, Gen. Ed, Prof Ed, or Majorship?

2. Anong books ang the best kong bilihin at pag-focusan? What are the must have reviewers?

3. Any tips for effective review?

Mag-eenroll din po ako sa review center, pero gusto ko pa muna magstart on my own. Please po sana may sumagot. Salamat! 🥹

Sinuspend na ng Malacañang ang klase nang 3pm pero ang mga mag-aaral namin e hindi pa pwedeng pauwiin kaagad kung walang gate pass o parent na susundo. Ngarag si adviser para magawan ng gatepass ang mga students niya. Ang mga parents nagtatanong na kung nasan na ang mga anak nila. Aabutan na lang uli ng ulan ang mga bata, hindi pa rin sila nakakauwi. Gets ko kung elementary, pero mga highschool na ang mga students na ito (sa public). For safety raw kaya di pwedeng palabasin agad nang walang sundo. Pumayag naman na ang mga magulang na pauwiin ang mga anak nila kasi masama nga ang panahon. Nakakainis, parang kinakapos sa common sense ang mga nasa taas. Ang tagal na nga ng suspension, ang tagal pa bago mapauwi ang mga bata.

Hello! Dahil maulan na naman at sunod-sunod ang suspensions, inaasahan na mag-send si teacher ng activities at ADM-related reports. Hindi naman ako totally against dito, pero mayroon lamang akong ilang bagay na naisip bigla:

1. Pre-pandemic, kapag sinabing class suspension, e class suspension talaga. Walang activities, walang kahit ano na ipapagawa si teacher. Student pa ako nito, kaya hindi ko alam kung may reports ba na kailangan gawin sa end ni teacher. Basta sa mga student, chill lang literal sa bahay (kaya masaya talaga pag sinabing class suspended). Kahit tumagal ang class suspension, walang kahit anong kailangan habulin, unless mag-declare na magkakaroon ng make up classes kapag Sabado (na napakadalang lang mangyari).

Wala akong nakitang gap sa pagkatuto ko noon. Siguro, advantage na lang din na mahuhusay talaga ang mga teacher ko para ipaintindi ang mga kailangan matutuhan buhat nang matigil pansamantala ang klase. Pero ngayon, kailangan na mag-ADM para ma-address ang learning gaps. Na-curious lang ako, may pagkakaiba ba sa noon at ngayon? O, dahil mayroong internet ay mas madali na mag-implement ng ADM?

2. Nakakaawa rin mga bata pag class suspended dahil alam na nila na may ADM. Matic, sabay-sabay magbibigay ng learning activities ang mga guro. Kung iisipin, kung ang estudyante ay may 5-8 subjects, may ganiyan ding karaming activities ang kailangan niyang gawin. Mas mahirap pa kung kailangan ipasa lahat kinabukasan kapag bumalik na ang klase. Sa end ng mga guro tulad natin, wala naman tayong choice kung hindi mag-comply dahil may inaasahang report na ipapasa na magpapatunay na tayo ay nag-conduct ng ADM.

Sa totoo lang, ayaw na ng mga bata ng mahabang class suspension. Mahabang class suspension = maraming modules/activities. Hindi ko lang sigurado kung mayroon ng pag-aaral o pananaliksik, pero palagay ko, hindi rin effective sa pagkatuto kung bombarded ang mga bata ng gawain. Ang tendency pa, tatamarin na lang sila, at ang ending, may iilan na hindi na lang gagawa. Bahala na ngayon si teacher kung anong gagawin niya.

Sana matigil na itong ulan at mabalik na sa klase. Aaminin ko, nakabawi rin naman ng pahinga kahit papaano. Pero 'yung learning gap dahil sa class suspension, 'yun ang literal na problema. Papalapit pa naman na ang term exam sa katapusan ng buwan.

Hi! I graduated BSEd Maj. in English 8 years ago. After that, life happened so never ko na talaga na pursue ang teaching profession. I worked in the corporate industry for 6 years (different companies) and I was diagnosed with psychotic depression and bipolar disorder and was on heavy medication and therapy for 2 years. I’m much better now and have been stable and off medication for the past 3 years. I mentioned this because everything that happened left me with ZERO retention for everything that I learned in college. As in wala. Now the thing about my corporate job is parang wala akong clear path. Like I have no specific direction on where i’m heading career wise so lately I have been considering taking a leap of faith and going back to my roots which is teaching. I want to pursue the profession and I want to do it with no shortcuts. Kaya gusto ko mag take ng Licensure Examination next year but I am not sure where to start in rebuilding my roots.

I am aware I simply can’t rebuild 4 years of knowledge (that was left sitting on a shelf for 8 years) in less than a year but that won’t stop me from trying. That said, any advice on where dapat mag start? Di na ako kaya ng refresher course so ano ba dapat gawin ng aspiring takers like me? And before I enroll, any suggestions on materials that I can use to self study? Please help your girl out

hello! pwede ba ipost sa group chat yung lates and absences ng bawat isa?
