While it is true that the quality of education here in the Philippines is poor, making baseless claims of the national IQ and implying that the school year is short only displays one's own ignorance. Buy some quality workbooks and tutor your child yourself. Probably better for you if hire a local HS student to do the tutoring. This will give your child access to more advance curriculum and also show your child the value you place on education. Making baseless claims is not going to help anyone.
