New's: Giant grade stubs released

Parents and students excitedly trooped to the UPIS Multi-purpose Hall last September 14 to claim the brand new grade stubs which are to replace the old, unattractive, and unsightly report cards.

It is evident that as the advisers handed out the stubs, parents and students alike can not hide their disbelief.

"I didn't expect it to look like that," Ezra Movilla of 10-Balete said. "I was, like, whoa!"

The stubs are made of the highest quality A2 size board paper with extra large font for easy reading. This was done to solve the loss or misplacement of the normal-sized report cards which has been a recurring problem in previous years.

"Mas okay 'to. Kitang-kita ko agad ang grades ng anak ko. Hindi ko na kailangan ilabas ang salamin ko o kaya ipabasa kay Adrian. Minsan kasi iniiba niya yung grades niya eh. Mas mataas yung sinasabi," Mr. Gary Valencia said.

"I agree!" nods Mrs. XYZ, parent to a Grade 3 and Grade 8 student. "Though, I hope they'll provide a card jacket. Baka kasi malukot yung stubs."

The release of stubs was a relatively quiet affair as parents are no longer required to come in and claim the grades themselves. Students who don't have deficiencies proudly claimed their stubs and are particularly happy that contact between their teachers and parents are minimized this quarter.

"Sobrang relieved, as in!" a Grade 10 student, who wishes to remain anonymous, gushed. "Sa lahat kasi ng subjects 50 yung grade ko. At least hindi makakausap ni Ma'am si Naynay tungkol sa kakulitan ko."

"Truelaloo!" her friend agreed. "Ako nga, hindi ko sinabi na release ng stubs ngayon eh. Di ko na ipapakita grades ko. Puro line of 7 eh."

Hours after the issuance of grade stubs, however, 78 students sought medical attention due to severe papercuts. When prompted about the injuries, students said they found it exceedingly difficult to carry the stubs around, resulting in mishandling and injuries.  by Red Bartolome
