I'm so sad, depressed, tearful and truely helpless at the moment. Nothing can express what I feel.. This is going to be a long entry. I'm just passing through my thoughts about education. Everything I'm writing about is from my personal pain being brought up in this system.

I got to work as an instructor to a Ministry in Jordan. Teach them how to program PHP, one thing everybody should know, you can't teach those who don't want to learn. Before I even started I requested that the Ministry should buy books for all trainees, and they did. Now, I've been training them for almost two months, and most of them didn't even read a single page of the book. Nobody does his homework, no one researches. For one thing I blame trainees themselves, and I blame education. We were not educated to appreciate the value of learning.

I still remember I was kicked out of classes during university because I didn't bring my book!

I asked a professor to help me & work with me on a project that included changing the philosophy of web development, he was like "oh ok, I need to eat now. Maybe we can discuss this later. Simply, reading his lips, he was saying: 'Fuck Off' "

I remember failing courses cause I Volunteered to talk about things that really matter, like OpenSource. And my teachers would give me a big fat Zero because I didn't attend the exam

I remember those who were creative, innovative and wanted to learn got lowest marks. And those who like to be spoon fed, and learn blindly got highest marks.

When I was in the elementary school, I remember a song my sister used to play on our old Philips Stereo. And after a couple of times, it was my favorite. That song was, "Another brick in the wall( We don't need no education". Strange how I was a small kid, and could understand that I didn't want to be educated the way I was being educated. I used to ask my sister to play it everyday, and everyday I would put it louder and louder.

If you've seen my previous entry, you'd know that the average arab kid reads 6 minutes extra curricular books. If this didn't make you cry and do something about it, you're just as bad.

We're raising retards teachers. You're just another brick in the wall. I promise you i'm gonna do something about this. I'm gonna take a brick or two and send them to hell

I'm back home home fellas. Just arrived. Got lotsa entries to write and photos to share. meanwhile, I'm so damn sleepy and tired, missed you all. Mwah, goodnight ya 7abaybe.
