The Cost of Education

If you would ask any parent who's sending their children to a private school to name one common worry they have when it comes to education? I think, the answer would be the rising cost of tuition fees (plus other additional expenses).

Though we all want the best for our children, the issue on education cost is a fact that us parents need to deal with. Knowing that we can't really compromise cost over quality and vice-versa. We make sure that every centavo is well spent for the benefit of our child.

Why Fuss Over a Rank?

Just yesterday, I browsed a blog site of a Filipina Mom blogger, Ms. Noemi Lardizabal-Dado (http://aboutmyrecovery.com/) and found a very interesting blog post of hers. I was thinking, should I leave a comment? But then I realized that my comment would be too long and I'm pretty sure that no one would care to read it (except for Ms. Dado, of course!).

For me, she's one great writer. Her blog entries are all interesting and informative as well. I really enjoy reading them. I just can't help myself to take a particular interest in one of her blog entry entitled: http://aboutmyrecovery.com/2006/10/26/top-500-worlds-best-universities/

Her post is about an opinion column of Mr. Michael Tan that discusses the state of education in the Philippines and the Top 500 World's Best Universities. She gave her unbiased discussion of the pros and cons of some local universities that were included in the rank. She based her criteria on personal experiences and factual information.
