May 7 - Nanny, Let's Speak English

photo from camaesbay.blogspot.comWhile waiting in the office of Hope Academy, I overheard the school directress telling a yaya to talk to her ward in English, so that it will be easier for him to learn the language.

What's with our generation? Parang obsessed pag-Ingglisin lahat ng bata. Although mastery of the English language is fine, sana huwag naman nating kalimutan ang sariling atin.

Minsan nga, nakakatawang tingnan ang ibang English-shpokening kids. Walang audio-video lock. Parang yung half-brother ni Juday sa "Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo". And yung kids ni Eugene Domingo sa "Working Girls". Not that bawal mag-Ingglis ang pangit. Wala lang, they look funny.
