I am not in favour of Private, in Australia Education has fallen as a result. But my dreams of Fully Public and Free were dashed when i saw what was happening here, as you say Destruction in Universities. How does that help anyone? <BR/>I suppose in desperation Private schooling offers a way out. of this mess. people can get degrees in Private Universities based on Merit and not based on Political affiliation which is what happens in Public.Vassili - Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224696466430325560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033848414085389565.post-12573473101898847032007-09-10T16:55:00.000+03:002007-09-10T16:55:00.000+03:00I will avoid to comment all the fairy/real tales a...I will avoid to comment all the fairy/real tales about politicians, because I guess that in each political party you can find hundreds.<BR/><BR/>But, one thing is true about the education. Do not allow private education, and fight for a better public education.<BR/><BR/>I can tell my fairy/real tale about that, due to we have private education in Spain. First thing all spaniards know is: 90% of private universities you pay to get a degree. You don't have to study you only have to pay.<BR/><BR/>The rest are onyl for the best students who also have to pay. Those are the "good" ones, but see the difference. We're talking about 20 private universities, and 2 o 3 are really as we would want: you pay but you get the best education ever.<BR/><BR/>Therefore if your father/mother has money, you don't need to read those big books, lets make a small exam each week about what was explained that week.<BR/><BR/>In high school is different. I was 9 years of my life in one of those private, religious and private schools. Where your marks are in your surname, not in the exam you wrote. In your surname or if you play in the basket team, bla bla bla...<BR/><BR/>I was my last year in highschool in a public one. And that was the paradise :P you were "free", and I liked so much that.... I studied more. Because I was not pressed by rules and to meet the high standars of the school.<BR/><BR/>Also, I can say that public education must be improved. Nice teachers but overloaded with lessons. <BR/><BR/>About free education. In Spain we pay for the university, but you pay double if you don't study and you don't pass the exams. Of course you can fail some years, but doing as people do here... no, please.<BR/><BR/>And its more, I'd like to shout here about this: HOW the hell those guys that fill the university with banners, destroy chairs and tables to celebrate that their political party won, throw the frappe in the corridors, and litter all arround the TEI/univ.... how the hell are those going to save the education, if they're not able to take care of the basic things..<BR/><BR/>I'd like to see a political group in the university commiting people to take care of it, and telling: "this is how we do care about the university".<BR/><BR/>Ah! stop dreaming :)graffichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15004299784115762473noreply@blogger.com
