Oh yes, the one thing that we have to understand is that we are all unique. As we go through life, at times, we are lucky to find like minded people whose thoughts are very similar to our own. Everyone strives for success, and they tramp on all others in their way, but that just leads to misery all around. The cousin of misery, called bitterness, evolves in many twisted souls. So best is to stay away from all of that, and simply to sing one's own song.

I agree with you, as schools should be the birthplace of knowledge and care, but in our case, this can never happen as the teachers are loaded with overfull classes. A single teacher with a class of 60+ pupils will stand no chance of meeting the needs of every single kid. And so it is a nightmare. The government enforces a high pass rate, which means that children that fail in a grade are simply pushed through to the next grade. So you can imagine the ripple effect of illiteracy. We have a ridiculous 30% pass rate, and this bodes badly for the children's futures.

We are also very concerned about the educational issues here, and it is indeed very toxic. So we all grow up not always knowing how to deal with any toxic place, such as in the workplace, homelife, neighbors, and the community out there. You are right, as we do indeed learn as we go, and so many burn their fingers. But, yeah, moaning will not correct anything, as long as the odds are loaded against us.

A pleasure to share and thank you also for your wisdom.
