Can i get one now(　・ω・) please?

Studying to be an english teacher in turkey, I can relate to "the university could have been a blog post" a lot. My professors can barely speak english or prepare exam questions in english. Our entire semesters curriculum could fit in a 4 hour study session and I am not exaggerating. I still dont ace the exams cuz I cant correctly decypher the exam questions from "professor" to english. I swear my uni isnt that bad either and the curriculum is more or less the same as everywhere else.

When I was in school, teachers literally told us the exam questions a week before the exam. So everyone got good grades despite knowing fuck all. A lot of my classmates started smoking/joining "gangs"/drinking at a young age. I suspect half the teachers either hated children or were pedos. The government pays public school teachers well for doing fuck all so they dont care about teaching anyway.

Ive never been to a private school but all i know is the teachers are overworked and underpaid in most schools and the students also dont learn shit, yet they are given perfect grades. My cousin goes to a private school and he took an exam made by the private school which consists of 10-20 questions from every class and and its graded out of 500 points and he consistently got 430-450 which is like top 1% but when he took an official test (the same format) he got 360 points (less than top 10% i think). I dont think the questions themselves are harder but the private schools just lie about scores.

If I am lucky and get hired at a public school the gov will send me to eastern turkey for at least a few years and I will relate to your post even more then. Edit: I also forgot to mention that I will have to work with the kurdish/syrian/afghan etc minority kids in eastern turkey who are treated horribly. There is a reason eastern turkey is the poorest part yk.

I also want to give you advice, though I dont have teaching experience at all. I think its okay to give up on majority of the students. However from a revolutionary perspective education is the most useful tool a person can have right before class consciousness. So if you do sense that there is at least 1 student who is willing to learn and to improve themselves, do your best to help them out. I know your situation is bad, hundreds of times worse than what ive experienced, but Ive been in many classrooms where honestly every student was beyond help, but I somehow managed to "pull myself by my bootstraps". so maybe some student in your classroom will be inspired by your efforts in the future and improve themselves and others around them.

Lastly I want to point out that your mental health is invaluable, preserve it at all costs. Do not push yourself beyond your limits for these (sorry for the mean words) violent, drug addict students who are a danger to themselves and people around them. If you feel tired, its okay to do the bare minimum and to give up.

You too oppo

I recommend Shadows of doubt if you havent tried it or if its been a while since you played

To clarify Marxists in history havent and shouldnt be against their own culture, but they should actively change the capitalist culture into a socialist version, and not "preserve" it like haui suggests. Capitalists also dont try to destroy "western culture" they manipulate it to fit whatever is convenient for them.

Socialists must reject the capitalist-developed culture and must not embrace it or what different would we (haui) be from the ACP? Any societies culture when it develops in capitalism is often times racist and inherently reactionary. Remember that culture is fluid and and is not something to be preserved.

The Finnish Bolshevik made a video comparing a nazi novel and a soviet novel a few months ago which goes into detail about how socialists should approach this issue and how nazis do.

I 100% disagree with haui and still believe they are pushing anti semitic and racist thought which does not fit an ml analysis of what socialism/capitalism is and what the nature of the bourgeois class is like. them being called a nazi is only to be expected when they say things like"Im proud to be labeled an anti semite" For those who dont know that person pushed the idea that "the conspiracy theories about the jews like how they control the world are true except its the rich and not the jews." they believe that the bourgeoisie are trying to destroy western culture/society and the left just doesnt care about preserving it and a lot more weird stuff.

Yeah good luck with that in the winter when half the dorm is sick including all 3 of my roommates. We only open the window at noon or in the evening. Then like 16 hours of breathing the same air in the room over and over again (if we stay in the room that is) I am truly cooked.

People need to want to change. If they wanna stay where they are intellectually, you are right. They change when they are dead. But the point is, how do we get them to want to change?

Bad sleep quality is unavoidable in the dorm due to co2 and humidity. I am cooked

The trots in China worked with KMT and Japanese. heres a short reading

Yeah man. Nazis are really misunderstood!

Nah I wouldnt take people's money (not more than what i need to survive) if I was given the opportunity. There is a reason why I am not in their place. This system gives the greediest the most power.
