  • This House supports slow parenting

    Infoslide

    Slow parenting is a parenting approach that gives the child leadership and control over their own life. This means there is no strict schedule imposed by the parent; the child decides what and when to eat, what to play with and when, and goes to sleep when they feel tired.

  • This house, as a struggling first-generation immigrant in a developed state who can no longer care for their toddler, would leave the child in institutional care rather than kinship care

    Infoslide

    Children who can no longer be cared for by their parents may be looked after by institutional child care systems. This includes the foster care system, where children are assigned to random families who are subsidized and vetted by the state, and state-run institutional “homes” and orphanages staffed by childcare and welfare workers. Kinship care is when children and youth live with relatives or fictive kin (those known and trusted by the family) during times of crisis. Kinship care is often an informal set-up, and the government is largely uninvolved.

Qualification for this pathway requires passing a rigorous Honors Examination.

Students who do not qualify for the University Preparatory Pathway will exclusively pursue technical-vocational education through TESDA.

  • This house would adopt a credit-based education system over a competency-based education system in the Philippine Basic Education

    Infoslide

    Under a credit-based education system, students earn credits for completing subjects, usually based on instructional hours and the achievement of learning outcomes. Under this system, students who fail a subject may still progress to the next level as long as they have enough earned credits to advance. The failed subject can be retaken at a later time. In comparison, the competency-based curriculum requires students to pass all subjects in their grade level in order for them to move up to further grade levels.

  • This house will prefer a world without family based upbringing of children to communal upbringing of children.

    Infoslide

    Different relevant narratives surround and construct an individual from birth. These environmental concerns and details are often skipped, but are intrinsic markers of a person, their upbringing and their life. Two strains are significant to discuss, where social or communal uprbringing provides the best social cues and development for the child, or does parenting restrict itself to just the family threshold? Familial upbrining is a style of upbringing where your family is the primary caregiver vs in communal upbringing where the community leads the upbringing of the child.
