Elsewhere, I posted an entry to see how a search of the word combination: kids Philippines would appear on Google.
As it stands, one would get results (on the first page) of items about kids living in places reserved for land transportation - plus some other nicer sounding articles. I hope this post gets a better mix of results.

This is not about telling them that cheating is prohibited or bad and such but about the need for children
"to be proactive partners in the learning process. They need to be taught how to take responsibility for the progress they make as independent learners able to work effectively with the teacher and with each other."
