Given the current craze for titles when are you going to put either "Commandante" or "First Secretary" in your location?

I don't see how communist education would be that different from the current education system.

I mean the curriculum would be purged of reactionary influences and history would be taught properly, and in my dream world grading individual assignments would be abolished and students would be assigned a grade by a three person faculty at the end of the year.

At least that would be one way of dealing with the unseemly rush for grades that so dominates contemporary education.

BTW - without any prompting the majority of today's class expressed virulent hatred for Bush.

"Opelika", Che. I know, I've been there. But I stayed on the Auburn side.

There's this restaraunt in Auburn, Cheeseburger-Cheeseburger, where you get your picture on the wall if you eat a 1 pound burger. My picture is there, somewhere on the right side of the wall.

However, the most redneck city I've ever been to was Glens Falls, NY, a city where over 1/2 of the single-unit detached housing was dilapedated trailers occupied by roughneck NASCAR fans and their 250-pound honeys.

There's an Opalaka in FL, and I thought they were spelled the same.

Opelika/Auburn at least has a University, which their attendant book stores. Glens Falls' biggest book store (and music store) was Wal-Mart and their finest steak restaurant was Golden Corral.

Hmmm.... Sounds like Douglas, GA as well (where my wife came from).

Which is why people from Communist countries are consistently more educated than those from Western countries.

If you want to be worse educated, be my guest. It's just been my personal experience that most of the people from Communist countries were a hell of a lot more knowledgable about everything in general than my fellow countrymen or even other Westerners I met. But I know you hate everything that was the USSR, so I guess they must all have ben stupid.

Che's definition of education is whether you can quote Marx. Or should I say mindlessly quote Marx.

In Latin America, Cuba had the highest literacy rates ahead of even capitalist wonderland Chile and much richer argentina. In my HS, most of the russian immigrants (not all but some) were in the more advanced math classes and science classes. I think kids in the USSR started algebra and calculus sooner than kids in US schools.

Yeah, why do you think US companies have been champing at the bit to get into Cuba and employ Cuban researchers?

It also might be that the people with the means to immigrate were the ones with educations. People with doctorates are looked on a with more favor by the INS afterall, and with Soviet defense contractors bieng a shadow of their former selves, alot of engineers have found themselves in the west.

Vist any areas around Yukutsk Che? Travel much in Omsk? Any personal freinds from Irkutsk? Just curious why you think the Russians you know represent a cross section of that country. I can't tell you they are not better educated, but I will make an educated guess that west and south of Moscow education is not anything special. Of course when we talk of Russia we mean Russians right, not the throngs of other nationalites that live in the majority of their territory right?

But I with Saras, a source?

this is an interesting site:

http://www.un.org/Pubs/CyberSchoolB..._infonation.htm

the last info they have seems to be from '95.

It shows a comparison of Cuba vs Chile in 95 as follows:

Chile 93 93 5.1 5.4 3.4
Cuba 96 93 4.4 4.4 6.7

The first line is female school enrolement, second male school enrolement, third is totalt adult illiterace %, then female illiteracy %, finally percent of GDP spent on education.

Better educated than your country, perhaps, sir.

But Education here in Britain is still worth something.

I can't believe people still think something good comes from these nightmarish commie nations.

So do you think life under Stalin would be desirable?

There is such a thing as taking rebellion beyond the realms of lucidity...

Seriously, communist education, at least in the USSR, was rather similar to education everywhere else. The exception being that students who did the best were required to help struggling students.

Che, why are you changing your tune about the USSR? I thought you said that it was not true communism.
