It’s true that focusing on grammar and linguistic accuracy can be exhausting, especially when there are so many other areas where improvement is needed. The issue of educational quality, particularly in reading, math, science, and critical thinking, is a significant concern in the Philippines. But grammar is just one piece of a larger puzzle.

Poor grammar among professionals, especially those in news and social media, can reflect deeper issues in the education system. When basic skills are not fully developed, it can impact critical thinking, communication, and even the way we process and interpret information.
However, being overly focused on grammar alone might distract from addressing the root causes of these broader educational challenges. It’s important to balance the push for linguistic accuracy with efforts to improve overall educational quality, fostering a more well-rounded and critically thinking society.
This might involve more than just correcting errors—it could mean advocating for better educational resources, promoting reading and analytical skills, and encouraging continuous learning and professional development.
