10000 students are forced to be home-schooled and yet, such piece of news is nowhere to be found in major newspapers and websites in the Philippines. There is a brief mention of the protest held by GABRIELA in Politics, Showbiz, Sports, Scandal, Tsismis (PSSST). The piece sits on the lower right hand corner of page 4, without the additional information on why the protest was held in the first place. Perhaps, the public is tired of hearing about problems in basic education, but the public should not be peppered with fairy tales from DepEd's K to 12 program. These are realities.
