All Govts MUST put funds into training Montessori type teachers as all the investment will earn a return hundred times the cost to the Country. It is simply a no brainer.<br /><br />The reason wealthy kids get a head start is that they are sent to good well reputed such schools before the main school and are able to handle the stress and demands of main school before many in the villages schools can even learn to say BOO.<br /><br />So please if we are to beging today, get the best to do montessori teaching course and promise 100K+ salaries for the most accomplished, then you will have the best going there as they ned the best teachers of ALLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167149547535484177.post-47756068865761807472017-02-10T14:15:08.923+05:302017-02-10T14:15:08.923+05:30Just think about it if we had to pay for our A lev...Just think about it if we had to pay for our A levels, first we will choose the best school we can get into. Then the schools will have to prove that they have good teachers, as even today, ALL Royal boys go to Tuition Class and in future you will never send a son to a school and pay and then send him to tuition also! SURELY<br /><br />This will force the schools to improve the quality of the teachers as you have to pay, and like you rightly said you pay for what you get. If you want excellent teachers you simply have to pay. That is why the system is failing our kids because the teacher quality is pathetic, and good teachers get jobs in private schools willing to hire the best.<br /><br />It is simply a self fulfilling prophecy you just cannot get out of today. No mater how well intentioned you are and so we are currently sending all our kids to Tuition factories anyway making a complete mockery of SCHOOLS as they are never at school in those final years, and even the 80% attendance rule is flouted flagrantly by the even the best schools!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167149547535484177.post-82568776304331968302017-02-10T11:25:35.885+05:302017-02-10T11:25:35.885+05:30" An appeal to the Bankrupt Professionals lik..." An appeal to the Bankrupt Professionals like Doctors in our society and in the hinterland"<br /><br />They are imbibed with a sense of entitlement, but see no relief from the system, and now the FSP is appealing for their moral soul! as the answer to their conundrum or frustration. I say don't just think for a moment what their real motives are!<br /><br />They are just another political party, which is pretending to be NOT as they say they don't have a leader, just a philosophy as their guiding light.<br /><br />They are opportunists seeking to amass political power and gain a following from professionals like you to seek legitimacy.<br /><br />Instead put your energies individually to form a JUST SOCIETY which is NOT the aim of the FSP. Though they may claim to. It is still trying to give re-birth to bankrupt socialist ideas that will NOT work with the Sri Lankan psyche of materialism in the face of the opposite espoused by Theravada Buddhism which is anathema to the people!<br /><br />Sri Lanka's future can only be assured by a temporary political class as in people only allowed to hold elected office for one term in their whole lives. Therefore they will make up of working people, professionals and proven businessmen, even street cleaners and grave diggers can apply as they know far more about how to run the Country than the current political elite!<br /><br />This will minimize the scourge of corruption, ensure the law is equal to all despite economic status, and all advancement will be merit and ability based, and not of the old school types!<br /><br />All laws will then be enacted NOT to help businessmen increase their profits as is now the case, but but to ensure an environmentally sustainable society, for you and your children. A place that will actually exist in 50 years, as present policy is turning it into a desert.<br /><br />Country first for survival into the 22nd Century and the people of the Country will be the second. So putting the Country before the people!<br /><br />The current political class will disappear, they will have NO traction need or relevance. Those elected will have power for only one term, so policies not people will take center stage. This voluntary service will ensure the Counry's survival NOT at the expense of their personal survival, just think about it<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
