Before universities we should address Schools

I created this thread for schools not universities like this one:http://www.lebgeeks.com/forums/viewtopi … d=6290&p=1
The first and most important topic i would like to discuss is the official exams. They have become really unnecessary especially that most of the ppl who succeed are supported by someone in the school they have done the exams in. As an example while we had the Arabic test in the Bucc2(S.E) my friend had an Arabic teacher who approached him and started giving him all the answers and all the surrounding students were just listening. We all know that this is not a single case many are doing the same thing so this make the exams completely rubbish and nonsense. When i applied to the university (or any other university) they demanded the report of the official exams but then i got it after i registered and started the university in a week yet when i got it they didn't even look at the paper all they did is to put it in my file.

Second is to remove the 50 year old system(or more) of dividing ppl into sub classes: Scientific, Literature. This could be bearable but even more in grade 12 there are: Life Sciences, General Sciences, Socioeconomic, Humanities(this is rare). We should take the European teaching system(most of them) to simply put it you'll see a 13 year old kid or less who is already preparing to major in Computer Science and knows programming languages from the school not on his own. This explains everything so what we really need is some real advisory from professionals in the field you want to major in from an early age. Even more there is a school in Germany that puts you in a room full of stuff PCs, toys, books, journals, rulers(math stuff), etc. From the place you'll take they'll know what is the most appropriate job for you in the future. But this is too hard for us to achieve knowing our current situation this wont be possible too easily.

Re: Before universities we should address Schools

I got my Brevet diploma thingie last summer, and all I have to say is that it is useless. Come on people, what's the use of doing exams if everyone in there can copy off the others, and when the supervisor comes, the teacher that is outside shouts to sit down? No use at all. I wish they teach us programming in school.

You're too twitter addicted mr. @kareem_nasser that you said: RT @ballouta. Made me LOL.
Also, when I was doing my exams, the teachers told us in a low voice: "You can copy, so do it fast, and when the outside teacher gives a sign, you sit quiet." What's that about? I kill myself to study for exams in school, and then everyone can copy? what's the use of studying for the exams?

I didn't mean anything, I'm twitter addicted, I use it a lot, and have friends that use it and stuff. I meant to say you're obsessed with twitter that you're Retweeting user's posts.
