On Current Learning System and On Life's Status

Disclaimer: This is what I observed and my POV. This is in line with my previous post. When the school year 2020-2021 started last October, I realized one thing, the current learning system reflected the status of life and it is saddening. Self-learning Kits(SLKs) or modules and online classes, the current learning system now here in the Philippines due to the pandemic, no face to face classes yet to be held, and you know the reason. And I am the one who collect/retrieve and distribute the SLKs. What made me see the difference between the poor and the rich with the current learning system? Not all parents here in our community finished college, some even didn't finished high school, therefore they have a hard time teaching their children when it comes to their SLKs, do you get what I am getting into? The rich parents can afford to pay for tutors for their children, or they have this unlimited access to the internet, while the poor ones, it is the opposite. They would fill their empty stomach first before they can pay for someone to tutor their children or they will just do it. But... How can they teach their children with lessons that they even have any idea, and I for myself, who finished college has a hard time? There has been a huge difference of lessons in school today than 20 years ago. It is like, how can you give something you don't have? The only words that I have said to them, "kakayanin yan" (you can do it), i have to encourage them and their children as well. Every once in a while i say the word "fighting", they have to fight, for their future lies on making it through their studies.
