A private school is autonomous and generates its own funding through various sources
like student tuition, private grants and endowments. A public school is government funded
and all students attend free of cost. Because of funding from several sources, private schools
may teach above and beyond the standard curriculum, may cater to a specific kind of students
(gifted, special needs, specific religion/language) or have an alternative curriculum like art,
drama, technology etc. Public schools have to adhere to the curriculum charted out by the
district, and cannot deny admission to any child within the residential school zone. There are
several preconceived notions regarding private and public schools. Private schools are often
assumed to be very expensive, elitist and a better bet for admission to good colleges. Public
schools are often thought of as shoddy, less disciplined and low-grade curriculum. This
comparison offers a fair insight into both schools for parents to make an informed decision.

AIR CURRENTS

Wind is the natural movement of the air from one place to another. It affects the climate
of a place. There are three major air streams that greatly affect our climate. From November to
February, mornings are colder because of the northeast monsoon wind. It blows from Siberia
which is a very frigid place. It brings along temperature and rain that make us shiver. The wind
from June to October, is warm and humid. During this time, the western section of our country
experiences strong rains brought about by the southwest monsoon wind blowing from Australia.
From March to early May, trade winds coming from the east or northeast reach the Philippines. It
brings rains to the eastern part of our country. Trade winds are warm and moist and bring hot
temperature with little rain. Isn’t it amazing that each one of these air streams brings some
amount of rain to the Philippines?
