Calamba Institute

As a first year student at CI, I’ve already noticed several things that I don’t really like. First, the restrooms are very unhygienic and dirty. In the girls’ restroom, there are often used and rolled napkins stuck in the CR row doors, and no one seems to remove them. On top of that, the restroom doors don’t have proper locks. Second, some teachers can be unfair and occasionally act as if they’re always right. While some or many students aren’t disciplined, it’s frustrating that when one student causes a problem, the whole class is often held responsible. There are also teachers who embarrass students, thinking it will correct behavior, but it only humiliates them. Additionally, students are sometimes required to join activities that cost money, even though these should be optional. Third, the canteen sells mostly unhealthy food, which discourages some students from eating. Some items also taste bad, making it a waste of money. Fourth, many of the school rules feel unreasonable. They often focus on making students ‘look professional,’ but it seems like they care more about appearance than actually improving the system or the learning environment. When it comes to projects, I’ve noticed that rules about what we can use often change suddenly. They restrict certain materials but still expect us to submit a well-made project. The usual excuse is ‘to keep you all safe,’ but it feels more like they’re taking away the most useful resources we actually need to complete the task. One more thing is the chairs, which can be really uncomfortable. The armchairs are too small, making it easy for your things to fall and sometimes even causing minor injuries. They really need to be replaced I can see that some teachers take their responsibilities seriously and teach well, but others clearly don’t. I hope these issues are addressed so that our tuition fees feel fair and reasonable. It’s not that I want students to stop coming to this school, but I want to raise awareness so that others don’t have to experience the same issues. :)

I can say that this school,as a student for 3 years has students that brag play and dont learn anything,has dirty bathroom water,poor sanitation,has broken doors ,has unclosable doors,bullying accusations, teachers that don’t acknowledge students that has no written works, verbal abuse thoughtout students, preassuring students, teachers screaming at you for every single mistake you make,students making the bathroom dirty after the janitor has cleaned them,making the students have perfect scores even its hard ,horrible healthy food options,students that cut classes by asking the teacher to go to the cr,uses ai to make posters at school event even though we were told we need to use our creativity ,so much missing items,students that steals school supplies/materials, students that dont listen to teachers,students distracting the teacher to pass the time just to waste it in our education,students that are unsanitary,students that say inappropriate content. First is the students, arent these students tought to be nice and respectful,but whats the result?, students that dont respect other students,doing weird stuff and disgusting behavior. Now the teachers ,their all nice but the students reshape thier behavior, i had this teacher called tr mariss (not real name) she was very nice, but she is now very strict Please if ever fix these issues because its been years and still unnoticed (For elementary and high school department)

As a student here for almost 4 years, I can confirm that this school needs more safety hazards and more security. The school is good, but this school might be likely the reason why people has been suffering from bullying, and so much negative stuff. (Elementary and highschool) Some of the teachers are strict, disrespectful, nice, or not even doing anything to discuss the lesson. Sometimes they’re just here to blame and humiliate the whole classroom and waste their time humiliating them. The school bathrooms? Last time, I saw a faucet running water, but it looked yellow and it smelt bad. It was urine (poor sanitation). The bathroom doors? Broken. The toilet can’t even flush properly, the only normal stall remaining left is the last stall. If you go in there, you can tell it looks more likely a public school instead of a private school. It’s fun, but it gets more worse if you spend more time here. The students? They’re worse. If you do anything ‘weird’ or ‘wrong’, they’ll bully you. If you’re proud of yourself, you’ll be humiliated. If you do one single mistake, you’ll be screamed at by the teachers, instead of them disciplining and sorting things out. They only care and show attention to the higher sections instead of the lower sections. The more your grade level increases, the teachers will be less respectful. They even use AI posters instead of hiring artists that make it more better?? Like HELLO? They tell us not to use AI but they use it too 😭 Hypocrites, It’s used for “Creativity” daw. STUDENTS STEALING SCHOOL SUPPLIES, they steal red/black ball pens, correction tape, and even jackets?? Even if you talk badly about this school, you might be either gaslighted or have a talk with a teacher. The students only listen to the teachers if they’re ‘scary’ or ‘strict’; but if it’s a new teacher, or a nice teacher, they’ll disrespect the teacher. There are boys in my class who show each others parts that they’re not supposed to see. So if you ever want to learn in this school, please remain cautious and good luck.

As an old student, The school is biased. They favor higher sections that enhance the school's recognition and appreciation. They also support favoritism by proudly showcasing and sharing it with everyone. When it comes to food, it's not just unhealthy but also unsanitary. The food vendors are rude and often force you to accept their "change." The teachers are too proud of themselves and love to keep things consistent. They don't like open-minded students and often make fun of them in front of the class. They gossip about students in the faculty room. If you're in a lower section, you might experience discrimination, high anxiety, and trauma. They treat you differently. The guidance counselors are close-minded. They won't ask for the full story of what happened. Instead, they'll likely shout at you and make you write what happened before giving you a guidance letter and slip. The registrar acts like their time is incredibly valuable. They won't talk to you nicely and often talk down to you. The clinic staff don't fully care about your situation. They'll just give you Vicks or let you sit or lie down on the bed. They have the same attitude as the registrar. The restrooms are unhygienic and smell bad. Their best effort to make them look clean is to paint some of them. And they will enroll you in extra activities that cost money. However, the guards do a great job.

Very good quality of education.
