CATCHING-UP WITH REALITY

Educational initiative like Catch-up Fridays to address learning gaps helps learners in improving reading skills and cover missed lessons, this program holds both advantages and disadvantages for learners

Fridays are designated times on which learners can focus on learning areas in which they may be weak, such as reading comprehension With the focused approach, teachers customize instruction to meet the requirements of each learner, offering individualized support and intervention

Catch-up Fridays offer learners who have fallen behind in particular lessons and have the chance to get extra help and guidance. This can strengthen the foundation and help avert more academic difficulties

Giving one day to make up missed lessons and focus on reading, allows teachers to better meet the needs of learners with varying difficulties. This strategy encourages diversity and guarantees that each learner has an equal opportunity to achieve academic success

Implementing Catch-up Fridays entails setting aside a single day during the school week for remedial instruction Although this is advantageous for students who need more help, it could mean that less time is spent on instruction according to the usual curriculum Even with efforts to make Catch-up Fridays a regular feature of the school week, some students may still view attending these sessions as evidence of failure or weakness in their academic performance Teachers, administrators, and support personnel must carefully plan and coordinate to incorporate Catch-up Fridays into the academic program. For schools with little funding, ensuring sufficient resources and instructional materials may provide logistical issues

While Catch-up Fridays are a great way to close learning gaps and motivate learners' success, it is important to weigh the benefits and drawbacks

Prices, including pork, has increased Although what’s different here is that pork prices vary, depending on the place or market we buy on. Some sell for P370 and some for P400 People on a budget will think that the prices are absurd and will rather travel kilometers away just to buy pork in a cheaper price

These days with people’s mindset of being cheap with their budget will rather obtain an illness and save up more money than just buying it and walk out the market healthy. Sellers mostly sell their pork cheap if it has a type of illness and put no effort in trying to clean the pork The only valid reason why pork is so expensive these past few days was because they put more effort and are much considerate for the locals.

Even so, we should put a limit in pork’s prices This way the prices are constant and people won’t think it is outrageous. Additionally, locals can even save more and may also help them to maintain a budget knowing most Filipinos love pork .

Although sellers should always make sure the prok they sell is eedible and safe to eat, which means it has to have proper cleaning do no viruses maintian on the pork and harm consumers. It is certianly important to value health rather than only valuing money.

Moreover, inflation prices are still increasing even though we have only recently entered the year 2024. Prok prices vary depending on the place and locals thin k it is absurd and find a cheaper way to buy pork However, it is important to maintain or limit the prices while making sure the [pork we consume is clean and safe. Remember, it is important to always choose health before wealth.
