Editor's Notes
- #3 Because as we all know, the 21st century learners are increasingly digital, constantly connected, has instant access, communicators and creators and most of all they are so called “LEARNOLOGY”
- #4 One of the hottest and phenomenal topics in the field of Elementary Education now especially in public schools is about the social promotion that is regularly practice in schools today and degrade the importance of mastery and competence. The central issue about this was the problems associated with students progressing through the educational system when they have not learned what they were supposed to learn. Chen (2016) said that 85 large urban school districts do not have a policy endorsing social promotion. Yet a majority of teachers said they promoted students up that were not prepared for the next grade level. Reasons given for these social promotions were fear that high failure rates would reflect poorly on the school and school personnel, pressure exerted by principals and parents to promote unready students, knowledge that retention is ineffective, and the absence or insufficiency of effective educational alternatives to social promotion. Abbott (2014) found that a majority of participating public-school teachers reported that they promoted academically underprepared students in the preceding year. In one of the municipality here in Davao del Norte, public teachers there are practicing social promotion. We interviewed a particular teacher and she said that, academic promotion become part of their life as a teacher. Also on the part of their students who undergo academic promotion, they observed that some of those students are not really excelling in their subjects and just relying on the notion that “bawal mubagsak ang mga maestro”. Additionally, some elementary teachers (names are intentionally not mentioned for confidentiality) from the Division of Tagum City stated that they are really practicing social promotion academically because of the EFA or Education for All programs, No Retention Policy and NCLB or No Child Left Behind Act. These policies and programs were implemented by the Department of Education. Moreover, if teachers have failed students they are obliged to conduct summer classes without pay, or if not, they will make a module for students if they opt not to conduct the summer class.

- #10 But the concern is, mostly but not all, of our teachers nowadays are still using the traditional education program which is applicable to learners of the past. They fail to realized that the new generation of learners are not the kind of learners that they were before.
