Many children from low-income families manage not only to stay in school, but to excel. What's their secret? Answer: family. Through surveys and interviews of more then thousand families of public school students that excel, the authors have identified five best practices: discipline, goal-setting, self-reliance, strong family bonds, and a conducive home environment. Magaling ang Pinoy! contains real-life case studies and practical guidelines to help Filipino students achieve not just in school, but in work and life. This book is recommended for parents, students, teachers, administrators, and anyone who recognizes that given the proper mindset, attitude, and support, the Filipino can excel.
