ABC for you and me

As I have started tutoring again last week I couldn’t help but to feel happy about the choice that I have made to not become a teacher. Not that I don’t like kids, quiet the opposite but as I walked into the schoolhouse I couldn’t believe, that within those concrete walls, dirty floors, the lack of colours and basically nothing that in some way or another would  cause an stimulation in the students mind, intellectual and social training is taking place. I don’t think our schoolsystem is any better than the average even though the Pisa results might give you the impression that we actually are doing better than ever. But those twisted IQ tests are only keeping us from looking at the real problems. Reforms are much needed but they will not happen to take place in a system where any attempt to do so can only be described as the famous beating of a dead horse. Good education is what is needed everywhere and the following video is not necessarily portraying an american issue but rather it is displaying a phenomena which we all need to take to heart.
