For as Filipinos, English is our second language and it’s the nationwide used language. We’re learning the English language to improve our communication skills but does the school need to force the student to speak the English language? It is more appropriate if the schools shall have the freedom to let the student choose the language they prefer to use? Why don’t we practice our own language and improve it more? The punishment the school is implementing to the student is a form of abuse and extortion. It is even a burden on the part of the parents for the extra cost and additional expenses.
In my opinion, the school don’t need to force the students to speak in English for the reason “It’s for our own sake” and also the “need to practice for the incoming PAASCU accreditation” to IMPRESS the representative of PAASCU who are visiting the school to make the necessary inspection if the school is implementing the required qualification to be member of the said accreditation. Making the standard that it passed the qualification and the best school that offers high quality of education. The proper use of grammar and the correct spelling of words are properly taught by the teachers that no matter how difficult the word is, still the student can understand and comprehend the same. Also, the students should have the FREEDOM to choose the language that suit them best. To use it in communicating with the other student as well as the people around whether of Philippine resident or foreigner alike.
I think that it’s more appropriate if the students will choose what language they want to use. First, because they have their freedom, and power to choose what they want to use and what they like to use without the need to ask permission. Based on our CLVE class and the film that we watched entitled “Bruce Almighty” no one is allowed to step on your right and freedom even God (based on the movie). God can see,
