Abstract. This correspondence article aims to reiterate the main points of the journal article, as it revolves around the objective of elaborating on the problems and coping mechanisms of a private school during the COVID-19 pandemic. This correspondence article also tests the research's claims, structure, and overall content to refine its components and guide readers on how to assess and critique a journal article. Overall, although the research article entitled, “Survival of the Fittest: Resiliency of Private Schools Amidst the Challenges of the Pandemic” was technically written flawlessly and was justified well, it is at fault by using the wrong research design and for its misalignment with its title and objective.

Keywords: Resiliency, Private Schools, Covid-19 pandemic, Education, Challenges
