What's So Funny About Helping Students?


All of us have seen elementary school kids forced to carry bulging schoolbags because they are required to bring all their books everyday. Good thing  Senator Lito Lapid proposed a bill that will alleviate this, supported by research on spinal problems caused by carrying heavy loads. Bad thing is: the person who appointed to be the Secretary of Education, Armin Luistro, laughed at the suggestion. I don’t think it is funny that we have an Education Secretary who thinks it is stupid to help students
