Activity no. 6 | CHAPTER 6

1. Can Schools take the place of families in the rearing of children? Why or
why not?
No, schools cannot take the place of families in the rearing of children because
the family is the child’s primary social agent that plays a vital role in child's
development especially during infancy, while schools can have also a contributive
role in child rearing but it cannot take the place of families because have you ever see
in school that the teacher take cares infant babies just to say that they can take the
place of family in rearing a child? Ironically of course none, because after all schools
serves as secondary agent and a place for continuation of child's development wherein
it provides a structured education and promotes a child's mental and psychological
growth. A child only start going to school if they are already at the age of five wherein
they enter the kindergarten. So, who are the one who will take place in rearing a child
from infancy up to four years old? Of course the family because they are the primary
responsible for shaping a child and developing their values, skills, socialization,
and security; school itself is just part of community consist of various institutions that
are secondary contributors. In family, parents (mother and father) are the one who
execute the parenting or child rearing process wherein they promote and support the
physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy
to adulthood. Newborn parenting, is where the responsibilities of parenthood begins. A
newborn's basic needs are food, sleep, comfort and cleaning which the parent provides.
Breastfeeding is the recommended method of feeding by all major infant health
organizations. In contrast, those newborn's basic needs cannot be provided by school
only by parents. Schools cannnot even provide breastfeeding only by the biological
mother. Instead, school provides for the fullest possible development for each learner
for living morally, creatively, and productively in a democratic society. Aside from
learning academics, a child will also learn other important life skills such as teamwork,
good manners, unity, sharing, and responsibility. But truly speaking, family could also
taught those ideals and disciplines tho their children. Parents are the only one who
can have form an intimate attachments to their child as their biological parents
which is considered to be the foundation of the infant's capacity to form and conduct
relationships throughout life. During Toddlers, children are much more active than
infants and become challenged with learning how to do simple tasks by themselves. At
this stage, parents are heavily involved in showing the small child how to do
things rather than just doing things for them; it is usual for the toddler to mimic
the parents. During childhood, younger children are becoming more independent and
are beginning to build friendships. At this stage, parents may assist their child by
encouraging social interactions and modeling proper social behaviors. Also, teaching
them health, hygiene, and eating habits through instruction and by example. Parents
are also expected to make decisions about their child's education. During Adolescents,
it is important for the parents to build a trusting relationship with their children. This can
be achieved by planning and taking part in fun activities together, keeping promises
made to the children, spending time with them, not reminding kids about their past
mistakes and listening to and talking to them. Lasty, during Adults, parenting does not
usually end when a child turns 18. Parents may provide financial support to their adult
children to show thier unending love and affection. The parents are the first teachers in
the home. They are responsible for the development of values, attitudes and habits that
will be needed as their children associate with classmates in the school. The teachers in
the schools are just continue to enrich the students' experiences at home, thus
strengthening the valuable personal traits and characteristics initially developed. These
are some of the parenting skills that family performs all throughout the child's
development in all aspect of life, that school cannot ever be taken place of families in
child rearing. Indeed, school is important but this is the secondary agent and a place for
continuation of the parent's child rearing responsibility.
 2. What sociological reality in the Philippines and in the world demand that
schools partner with the community (Church, mass media, business
establishments, etc.) for the education of children?

personnel of public schools, and parents-teachers-community associations. Section 3: of
the same Act encourages "local initiatives for the improvement of schools and learning
centers and to provide the means by which,. Improvements may be achieved and
sustained.
 Batas Pambansa Blg. 232, otherwise known as the Education Act of 1982, Section 7

appropriate bodies through which the members of the educational Community ay discuss
relevant issues and communicate information and suggestions for assistance and

5. Reflect and answer. In what way am I involved in school and community

partnership? What good have I done to school and community? What else
can I do?
I am involved in school and community partnership in a way of being a student,
leader, achiever, and a titleholder that allows me to help those who are less
fortunate and neglected by society and execute the goals of the school and
community partnership. Good community relations are important for any school to
become community learning centers. As a college student and a member of the
community, I have the responsibility to connect these two agents of socialization to
continue its partnership and purpose. That is why throughout my educational journey
and being a member of the community I have done a lot of good things for my
school and community. As a student, I value my studies through studying my
lessons, doing my activities and requirements, and giving my hundred percent best
during midterm and final exams. I always make sure it is my top priority. Since I was
one of the beneficiaries of Republic Act 10931 or the Universal Access to Quality
Tertiary Education, I always do my very best at school to develop my fullest
potentials so that their once in a blue moon given opportunity to pursue college
education will not be wasted. Also, I do this to fulfill the dreams of my family in
uplifting our socio-economic status in life and to give an impact to our country in
eradicating illiteracy and poverty. Being a leader has given me a way to be
connected with the community. I was a VP in Internal Affairs of our BANDAAG
Chapter - a youth organization of our Municipality under the Tulunan Young Leaders
Congress (TYLC). There, I was able to witness the different alarming issues that we
are facing right now. As young leaders, we help the community in our little ways. We
conducted Tree Planting in Tuburan, we have a feeding program for the children of
Damawato, and HIV/AID Awareness Campaign in Sibsib. Moreover, at this time of
pandemic education are one of the many sectors that have suffered. That is why in
partnership with schools together with the SK officials and TYLC members we
created the Municipal Students Tutorial and Mobile Library across the different
barangays all over Tulunan. In this way of partnership, we can be able to continue
education even though in the middle of a pandemic. I was driven to do be public
service because this is my advocacy as their Ginoong Kabataan 2018, I have the
responsibility behind my back to help other people who are in need, even in a small
way but if everybody if unified to one goal a lot of small ways makes a difference. I
was also a Vice-president for Communication of our Enactus Club, I was able to
impart my knowledge and experience in Enactus Club to help my co-purok youth
officials to the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders to use innovation and
business principles to improve the world. Our purok always makes a way to reach
the community such as creating the banana extract as alternative bioethanol,
banana leaf sheath as eco-bags, and coconut husk as fertilizer. Those are some of
what we practice in our purok as a product of our Enactus ideas we come up with
entrepreneurial-based projects that empower the people in transforming
opportunities into real, sustainable progress for our communities. I was also a
member of the Connect 2 Student (C2S) Ministry of our school wherein during the
calamity caused by the earthquake I able to use it. Since Tulunan is the epicenter of
the earthquake, it damaged a lot of the properties and lives of Tulunense. That is
why together with my friend and co-purok officials we conduct a stress debriefing
program in our purok to help lessen the unpleasant short-term symptoms of trauma
experienced by people especially children during the crisis. We played Christian
songs and share the word of God for them to uplift their morale and strengthen more
their faith with God. As an achiever being honed and developed by my school, I want
to share my knowledge and skill with my community. As an Editorial writer and Quiz
bowl competitor I able to influence and taught the young children who are my
neighbors and relatives. I encourage them to join any competition and activities in
school to sharpen their critical thinking and develop their full potentials. Also, I taught
them how to construct a sentence and eventually making an essay depending on its
purpose. At this moment, other else I can do now are to be a good student and a
follower of the rules and protocols regarding covid 19. There are a lot of
symposiums, activities, and programs planned and created by my co-young leaders
that were canceled due to the prohibition of social gatherings. That is why, as for
now I suggest to my community to be better focused on their studies to those who
are students and follow our frontliners because they are the authority that only
thinking is our health and security. Always remember that the first step is always the
hardest that is why always move forward and fight to be involved in school and
community partnership.
