Be cool, stay in school!
I’ve been listening to Swedish radio this morning and they were talking about the school student’s lack of respect to the teachers. I have to say, moving from Lebanon to Sweden when I was young I really felt that the Swedish youth had no kind of respect at all. They were cursing, attending classes late, not doing the homework etc. Back in Lebanon, we got beaten up badly for these kinds of behaviour.
The new parliament would like to make the school more strict and disciplinant, with different rules that have nothing to do with the student’s ability to learn things. The school in Japan is completely opposite to the one back home.
By making the Swedish school like the Japanese school, the politicians manage to create students that can not be free minded, because they have to follow the orders of the professor. It suppresses the creativity and the spontaneity of each individual to become the way they want to become. By crating strict disciplinant laws that each student has to follow, we take the focus from the main task that the school has, which is to teach students things and give it a task to teach students to obey!
What the school in Sweden needs is not a strict hierarchy with discipline. The school has to teach students how to respect other peoples opinions, no matter if they don’t follow their own and how to behave against other people, not make them become something they aren’t.
I sometimes get the feeling about the fact that the authorities love power, and that’s why some people became teachers, in order to feel some kind of power. The past years when the teachers role has become less of an authoritarian, the status of becoming a teacher has decreased. I have another subjective example, my uncle. He has 3 childrens and he is purely mad at the school because he thinks that the schools teach his children to become free minded and that they’re not disciplinant enough (what he’s really afraid of is that when they grow up, they will be able to break free from him and he won’t be in charge of them).
Sometimes, I also get the feeling about the fact that people who has leading positions are psychos in some kind of way. They get this horney feeling from giving order instead of helping people.
Puberty is hard enough as it is. By forcing adolescence to be something they aren’t will, I think, make more people drop out of the school. And that is not cool.
