CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Parents want the best for their children. They often dream of their children attending
the best of universities and then securing a most respectable job in modern society. They work
and earn so they can care for their child. While a secure and happy family environment is
considered a bare necessity for healthy growth and development, there is a fine line between
caring and caring too much. Parental pressure has led to the most horrible scenarios.
Modern society is a very competitive place. Honesty and humbleness are shown with
sarcasm, good deeds are questioned and bad deeds regularly ignored. Power and money have
become prime needs for survival. Unemployment rates are running high. That is why parental
pressure to choose a school to go to is a factor that students prefer, because some are to only
follow the direction of their parents because what their parents thought is that it is for the best
of their son as to why they choose to study in a particular school like T.I.P., Q.C.
Parents can be well intentioned in wanting their kids to do well in school, but they are
often too heavily influenced by a culture of academic intensity (Anxiety.org). They see the
booming test prep industry and feel pressure of their own to make sure their teen achieves a
high score on the SAT. At many schools, parents can track their child's progress online and
access their grades on tests, quizzes and homework assignments, creating a situation where
they have so much information; they can start to obsess over every single score. Of course,
there are the looming fears surrounding college admission. Parents are all too aware it's much
more difficult to get into college in today's world. By ramping up the academic pressure, they're
hoping to spare their children the disappointment and feelings of failure that may come along
with not getting admitted to college. "Rejection can be heart-breaking and devastating.
Especially for high-achieving students who spent countless hours studying and preparing for
This research study is about the factors that affect why students choose to study in T.I.P
Q.C in the academic year 2017-2018. This study mainly focuses on why students chooses to
study in T.I.P Q.C and to know what are the reasons that pushes them to study in our school, our
respondents would be our fellow SHS students too. The significance of the study is for us to be
informed why students chose to study in T.I.P Q.C. The purpose of this research is to find out the
reasons why the senior high school students chose T.I.P Q.C.

students choose to study in T.I.P when the respondents are grouped into:
This study is about the factors that affect why grade 11 senior high school
students choose to study in T.I.P Q.C (2017). The researcher believe that the factors
that affect students to study in TIP are because of accessibility of the school, socio-
destination of the school; at the same time socio-economic status refers to the
combination of social status and economic status of the respondents and their
families. School status refers to the reputation of the school and parental pressure
means the action of parents that they have over their children while studying in a
particular school.
The school and the students will benefit from this study because the school
might improve what they have such as the facilities, teachers etc.

In our society today we are surrounded by a lot of school and institutions to properly
nurture its future professionals so that they would make things a lot better. Hence, students
would choose to have the best school for them. This would mean that they consider a lot of
factors on choosing which school is the best. It is the same thing for the parents. Since it is also
their duty to support the decision of his child to go in one particular institution to study since it
is for the well being of their children. The students would likely formulate in their mind some
questions like: if it is a school that specialized in a kind of track or course that they would want?
If it is accessible for them? Would their parents be able to support the type of school that you
wanted in to study? In this research, we review the literature supporting this claim and present
evidences of what and why would students choose to study in one particular school.
Foreign Literature
Due to the cognitive ability of human being, humans would likely choose what is best for
him to satisfy his own need. It is a basic human trait: people love to have many options, even if
they only exist in theory. When asked, who wouldn’t prefer to choose from a list of five different
items over a list of only two? Intuitively, people feel that the more options they have, the
greater their chances are of finding the choice that will perfectly satisfy their needs (Ph.D. Liraz
Margalit). Belief in one’s ability to exert control over the environment and to produce desired
The population of the Philippines as of August 1, 2015 was 100,981,437, based on the 2015
Census of Population (POPCEN 2015). Out of 100 million around 30 million or 0.3334% are
students. Each of this students probably choose their ideal school based on some factors like
Accessibility of the school refers to how far is it to the students home and if they can
commute easily. In the Philippines most of the students commute from their house to school
but it is not as simple as that. Since commuting could be a major factor if the school that they
wanted to get into can be easily commuted to. A lot of students suffer a lot of time pressure due
to the inaccessibility of the school due to how far it is and if they can get in the school without
wasting so much time. Traffic is one of the fatal things in commuting because this would waste a
lot of their time and that because of this they may become late to the classes that they have to
attend. An article stated that Philippines have the 9th worst traffic in the world (Philstar, 2015).
This would only mean how hard it is to commute to school. Some say that by using private cars
they can get into school for only 20 minutes and that by commuting would take for about 40 or
maybe 1 hour just to get into school by means of public transportation. That is 2x or more the
time it consumes when they use public transportation than the use of private vehicle. Another
article says that out of total number of the commuter 4% of it like their commute however 43%
of the commuters said that it is inconvenient (CNN, 2016). While the ford motor company
survey stated that 3 out of 10 Filipino commuter consider their commute as the worst part of
their day (CNN, 2015). In totality it shows us how accessibility could affect on what school,
students would prefer since the more it is far away from their home, the more inconveniences
they might encounter while they are studying this would affect the learning adaptions of the
students since time pressure alone would stress out the students.

School status is one of the very most important if the student would choose a school. It
is because a high quality school would enhance its student to its outmost extent. It is an
essential part of choosing school since it will be the base of the foundation of what the students
will build up, because we are talking about the future of the students, whether they will be
successful or not. A high quality school attracts more students because of its reasons like its
popularity, achievements, quality of teaching, and the facilities of the school. The
implementation of senior high school In the Philippines has a big impact to different school and
because of it schools enhance their facilities and the courses so that students would have the
subjects that they need. The new high school curriculum includes core classes and specialization
classes based on student choice of specialization. Students may choose a specialization based on
aptitude, interests, and school capacity. Classes or courses are divided into two: Core Curriculum
There are seven learning areas under the core curriculum. These are languages, literature,
communication, mathematics, philosophy, natural sciences, and social sciences. These will make
up 15 core courses with the same contents and competencies but with allowed
Say you're sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone
mentions a particular game that happens to be one of your favorites. "Oh, that game's easy. So
not worth the time," one of your friends says dismissively. The others agree. Inwardly, you know
that it is a game you happen to enjoy quite a lot but, outwardly, not wanting to debate the issue,
You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure. It is probably
more accurate to refer to this as peer influence, or social influence to adopt a particular type of
behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your equals ("peers").
As a teen, it's likely you've experienced the effect of peer influence in a number of different
areas, ranging from the clothes you wear to the music you listen to.
Peer influence is not necessarily a bad thing. We are all influenced by our peers, both
negatively and positively, at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away
from home, you may spend more time with your friends than you do with your parents and
siblings. As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.
Sometimes, though, particularly in emotional situations, peer influence can be hard to resist—it
really has become "pressure"—and you may feel compelled to do something you're
uncomfortable with. That being said the thought that peer pressure can still be one of the things
that teens use on choosing a particular school to go into. There are things that might be the
reason why they choose that school. First is that, there are a lot of students that are scared or
too attached to their peers to the point that even the school that their peer went to, they will
still go and follow them because of things like they might get lonely or that they cannot establish
a good relations with other. Second is that some teens could try to go to the school that their
friend went to because of how they introduce their school as a good school, high education
background and some other thing that convinces other to choose that school.
"There are two main features that seem to distinguish teenagers from adults in their decision
early adolescence in particular, teenagers are drawn to the immediate rewards of a potential
choice and are less attentive to the possible risks. Second, teenagers in general are still learning
to control their impulses, to think ahead, and to resist pressure from others." These skills
develop gradually, as a teen's ability to control his or her behavior gets better throughout
adolescence.
According to Dr. B. J. Casey from the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, teens are very
quick and accurate in making judgments and decisions on their own and in situations where
they have time to think. However, when they have to make decisions in the heat of the moment
or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by external factors like peers.
Parents want the best for their children. They often dream of their children attending the
best of universities and then securing a most respectable job in modern society. They work and
earn so they can care for their child. While a secure and happy family environment is considered
a bare necessity for healthy growth and development, there is a fine line between caring and

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The theory that will best justify our study is the existentialism. Existentialism is
a philosophy that emphasis individual existence, freedom and choice. It is the view that
humans define their own meaning in life, and try to make rational decisions despite existing
in an irrational universe. Thus, existentialism believes that individuals are entirely true and

politely. In our question we will know why our respondents (Grade 11 students) choose to
study in TIP QC and what really are the factors that affect them in choosing. We, researchers
believe that they choose TIP QC because of some factors like; accessibility of the school,
