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.

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:

In prima parte am inceput mai general, cu citate din Nietzsche si o lista iutub. Aici-sa zicem cu detalii si carti existentialiste si general-introductive.

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.

Am mentionat in articolele precedente sarbatori religioase ale altor credinte cat si cele ale crestinatatii ortodoxe. Desi am incercat sa citesc carti despre istoria religiilor, continui sa stiu putine despre majoritatea celor din afara crestinatatii. Aici incep sa aflu.

It is almost painful to discuss the election results, chiefly because nothing is unexpected, most voters see a completely different reality than I do (or, if you will, they see the same thing but interpret it differently) and there is no way I can ever bridge this gap. Not only that, but it's virtually impossible to do so, even if I tried. I gave up trying long ago.

Este donatia unei operatii de chirurgie plastica un act de emancipare sau o exploatare patriarhala a unei copile naive? Sunt femeile asuprite in Occident si daca da, de catre cine? Nu pot sa nu-mi amintesc o scena cu Bamo, cand stateam “La Mama” cu el si alti chirurgi plastici colegi la o masa, si prietenele lor se laudau cu cate operatii aveau la activ.

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)?

I have meant to write at length on this individual and, as expected, not only that reality caught up with me, but it left me far behind. I never expected for things to go this far, which is why I am revisiting it now.

As I’ve been getting closer to a long-planned trip to Europe, I had to face the prospect of more hostility and less-than-enlightened assumptions related to my ancestry. I am quite tired of going through that and have been preparing to start answering the question “where are you from” with “Dacia” – and will be doing so starting tomorrow. With this article, I will answer the follow-up “isn’t Dacia a car?” or “what is that?” or “where is that?” with “look it up!”

Poti traduce ce citesti pe blogul meu in 20 de limbi apasand pe steagul respectiv. Poze superbe, cum sa-nnebunesti nebunii, Orwell redivivus, si europenii se imbata sa si-o traga... pun pariu ca nu stiai asta! :)

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

Vorbesc de tare mult timp despre o dezbatere cu si despre proprietatea intelectuala si copira(i)tul la romani. O astfel de dezbatere a fost gazduita si de Economist in sectiunea lor de dezbateri si-a iesit tare faina, dar a avut loc mai putin in blogo.ro-oaie. In acest prim articol voi mentiona cateva din argumentele vehiculate in aceasta dezbatere si voi incerca sa evit cateva “cai gresite”.

I am EXTATIC!!!! N-am auzit de ea inainte sa fi castigat premiul Nobel, cum n-auzisem nici de francezul care a castigat in 2008, dar cu cat citesc mai mult, cu atat ma excit mai tare! E musai s-mpartasesc ce aflu cu cei 2-3 oameni care ma citesc, poate iau si eu un Hertzer sau un BlogIdol. Voi incepe sa scriu acest ghid prin a face mai mult spatiu sub birou.
