- I'll add new perspective to this discussion about
- education. you see i came from Indonesia where there
- are scarely fund for school. My school operate on the
- tuition. What i found is that it doesn't matter what
- kind of school you have. The points is are the student
- have the will and attitude to learn or not.
- We never have fancy Lab, Fancy Gymn. or anything.
- But from my class 3 Come here to USA to take undergraduate
- 3 to Germany. 2 to Taiwan. And it all come from a class
- of 52. and 50% go to local university.
-
- Another things is that here in USA, Currently the generation
- are grown in a "Question the Authority" Culture. The Teacher
- doesn't mean a thing in school. as a teacher you can punish
- the student. else you are abusing the student
- The student doesn't give a hoot about the teacher. I have
- a friend i met in video arcade. He doens't even care about
- detention hall. back in my days detention hall means my
- mom going to give me hell of time.
-
- But of course this is only the negative side. and i admit
- there are so much cultural difference. that the method that
- works for me are not going to work with your. and vice versa.
-
- But consider this. All the sharpest swords doesn't means
- a thing if the knight don't know how to swing
