Am descoperit acum o saptamana o gugumanie, de data asta in evz, si-aici ma refuvoltez. Este vorba de rezultatele PISA 2009 si cum au fost reflectate in presa. A luat mult timp, fiindca le prezint si eu.

After briefly going through the just-published PISA 2015 results, here we expand on our knowledge of the top-performing Asian countries, which share some important characteristics.

Pisat de rezultatele PISA 2009, am inceput sa scuip solutii. Dar orice solutii tre' sa tina cont de realitatea de teren politic, care-i un razbel pe tema legii educatiei.

The results of the latest PISA testing have come out. Will I manage to write about the educational styles in Canada (which is 4th, tied with Finland, after Singapore, Japan and Estonia) and Romania (48th out of 70)?

Based on my mistaken belief that there may be people reading this, I go ahead with my recommendations, after the intro and Asia. PISA is not just a set of tests, it comes with suggestions and recommendations.

Finland, the country who is light years ahead of Romania in education, is moving away from structured learning and a Romanian Senator opines that it's BS, which, in our view, makes him a 'zambaccian' or a person who is incapable to understand his mistakes, nevermind assume them, a person whose mindset prevents them from accepting new, revolutionary ideas.

Acum ca am vazut cat de prost sadem in rezultatele testelor PISA 2009, ar fi momentul sa cujetam la o ruta, s-apai sa ne ridicam si s-o luam la copita.

I continue with my answer to a friend, started in asa.zamo.ca/immigrate2canada.

Are rost sa prezint gugumanii care au incetat sa existe? Evident ca da! Fiindca astfel de disparitii explica de ce adeverul nu mai poate fi gasit, iar restul (HotNews cu piggy math, ultimile codasi, umorul involuntar), vor urma probabil aceeasi soarta..

About two months ago, Maftei, my math teacher in high school, has passed away (fb-maftei). I felt sorry, and that’s why the expression he used to invite us to the blackboard (“iesi pe straße” or “come out on the straße/street”) found its way in the title of this article, which is about the high-school physics teacher Sever Iosif Georgescu and his (or his kids’?) attempts to erase the negative events of his past. This is the third installment in the Georgescu, Iosif SEVER saga:

Continui povestea reclamelor Dacia, de data asta punand mai mult accentul pe tarile latine si clipurile cu dacii tunate.

Transitioning from the old teaching style to the new ethics is hard to accomplish in Eastern Europe. In Romania, it is even more difficult to do so with conniving garbage at the helm of the government. And if you’re wondering, the PP in title stands for Plagiarizing Ponta.

I am beginning to see the limits of my enforced-positivity in terms of absorbing and interpreting the current political events. Yet the political situation in Romania is remarkably similar to what’s happening in USA.

Legea invatamantului, despre care am mai povestit in curriculum vs legea educatiei, PISA 2009 si salariul universitarilor a fost nu demult declarata constitutionala. Daca vorbeam despre motivarea profilor, ar fi util sa vorbim si despre motivarea elevilor. Fie ca te afli in tara si gandesti ca puradeii de azi, in loc sa-ti plateasca tie pensia cand vei fi mic, alb si tremurand iti vor da in cap fiindca asta este tot ce stiu sa faca sau te afli in afara tarii si ai probleme cu echivalarea diplomei din tara din pricina gloatei de analfabeti care ies in ultima vreme din facultatile de-acolo si "emigreaza" in containere, legea invatamantului pentru care guvernul planuie in curand consultatii ar trebui sa te intereseze.

Standardul in fake news a fost stabilit de mult timp de Onion News Network, Jon Stewart's Daily Show si, mai recent, Stephen Colbert. Pe acelasi model, in Romania au aparut Trombon si Cronica Carcotasilor. Ieri sau alaltaieri insa ne-am trezit cu un nou concurent: Arhi – cel care l-a reclamat pe [Badea cu o prostie.

While writing about Jihadi Jay Abdo, I had started writing about foreigners who study in Romania and half-way through I realized that this deserves a separate article. I had previously assumed (nature) that the Romanian prime-minister’s (Ponta) many scandals, some centered around his plagiarizing of his doctoral thesis will taint Romanian education and significantly decrease its appeal. Further investigation revealed that many are still interested, although it is hard to determine to what extent the scandals have caused the Romanian tuition fees to be the lowest in Europe, or that is due to other market forces. As usual, the links are listed at the end.
