School failure

The average Gulf school, which caters to the average Gulf expatriate, is but a caricature of what a House of Education should be. It is all aimed at basically soothing the parents’ pangs of guilt, that their children are not being sacrificed at the altar of the dirham/riyal/dinar to rupee exchange rate. The schools have the subjects without the content, the teachers without the passion, the houses without the heritage, the games without the sports. It’s all the illusion that your child is being educated. Alas, it’s only a shadow of the real thing; pathetic to put up with.
