I want to nag today:(one of my memories)
Education sucks in this irresponsible country!
In a lot of countries nobody fails and doesn’t repeat the same level but the system of their education doesn’t have the shortcomings like the ones we have:
1_payment: what should a teacher do when he/she work 60 hours a week with 30 students in each class? Doesn’t he go nuts after a while?
2_which one is better? Money or knowdelege? In this country the only thing that talks is the goddamn money? the SO CALLED Islamic government doesn’t pay attention to knowledge though they pretend that “from cradle to grave you should go after knowledge”.
I believe that a new human being should be born as the German philosopher (Nietzsche) puts it so everything starts changing and I think we wont be modernized and I am very pessimistic of our being a” first” world country. Nobody knows how much we should suffer from being so chaotic in a big way!
Today, when I handed over the report cards to our principle in a “non” profitable school (gheir e Entefaii) the name is very funny by itself;he said that if we give these report cards to the parents they would come to us complain and we lose our rate in the district so, please give the students a kind of “project” so they do something so you could mark them up (add to their real grades) funny, isn’t it? And try not to have more than 5 out of 20 failed students in each class. Don’t tell me that I shouldn’t have done that! If you were me you would have done the same thing! Because you are going to live in this goddamn world! How nice Dono Frio the man in Stanley Kubrics movie says: I AM IN A WORLD OF ****! (Full Metal Jacket,name of the movie) we are the seeds of THIS society just like the people in kubrics movie.A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
Oh my, sorry to disappoint you again. but I remember that exactly the same thing would go on in Italy...specially at lower level education (like elementary or mid school!). The teachers were "kindly" asked to not leave any student behind. . .maybe they could raise a bit the grade?! ;) Teachers have quite a tought time everywhere: between the rock and the hard place :) Wich U the best. . .and hold on!
Clockwork orange was a piece of work. The Mullahs don't value education, which is why they can't read and are so backwards.
Education is suffering in the entire Muslim world, because they put the Koran before science and justice. Law based on religion is a bad idea. Iran will never modernize. Its educated citizens will always flee to other countries as long as you have to be connected to a corrupt Mullah to make any money.
Sorry for not replying back!!!
Just added ur link!!!!!
and about afghans.... I am very much against Anti-any race Coalition...
I undrestand what they do, but the real cause is poverty...
I just don't feel racism will solve any problem..
and on the contrary back when I was living in Iran...I knew of a lot of people who would only hire Afghans for manual labor ( We had one who used to work in our home) cause they were more honest and more hardworking!!!!
But then that's just my view... I haven't lived in Iran for a long time...
Yeah. Actually there is no education system there in Iran. Nothing is well-defined. Teachers do not have regular training courses to update themselves. They also earn a small amount of money for a huge work. Students, on the other hand, are not attracted by such a system...
hi...
i m from germany and actually hit upon this blog by accident ....i just finished reading that letter from your american pen pal...all i want to say is that it pretty much sounds like he/she is very patriotic ...i think the author gives a pretty twisted view of the usa.
just wanted to say that.
I agree with Amir's comment very much. I believe he has a point here. Anyway, one thing that I know 4 sure is the fact that teachers have been underpaid and unappreciated by most societies including Iran. We need 2 cherish them, respect them and pay them as much as $ as possible, and we are not doing it to say the least. After parents, they are the ones who are responsible to build the foundation of our children and the future to come. And they haven't been recognized 4 their efforts by any means. Sad, very sad, and that's all I can say 4 now. Hang in there, buddy. We’ve got to somehow come up with a plan 2 get U and your family out of that chaos (Iran) . Cheers :)
