This coming school year, Stef will be in high school. Now, as a parent, one of my big concerns is finding the best high school for her -- at least within our area. Definitely, Stef would be out of AUF. After scouting on some high schools, I realized AUF-IS is too expensive for its quality. Ok lang sanang mahal kung mataas ang quality in terms of instruction, but AUF seems to me a money-making university. I was able to compare, for example, graduation fees: sa public school, Php300; sa Holy Angel University, Php1,900; sa AUF, Php 3,975. Nung tiningnan ko yung breakdown ng grad'n fee nina Stef, nagulat ako dahil Php 975 ang bayad sa graduation pic -- 1 copy of 8 1/2 X 11 at 6 wallet-size photos, two shots lang. Then, ang Yearbook, Php 2,000. Sa HAU, Php 130 lang ang grad pic at Php400 ang Yearbook. It's so surprising how expensive it is at AUF. Ngayon ko lang na-compare dahil ngayon lang ako nag-try mag-scout ng fees in other schools....
