In thi...Blue, I get the point, thanks.<BR/>You're right. In this country there's the notion that everybody should go to university. Everybody should be "Drs. e Engenheiros". It's quite an idiotic idea. What happens is that everybody is going to universities because there's no other place to go. And so we end up stuck with a lot of frustrated students that should be doing something else. And these people will never be good professionals as they have never been good students because their motivation and skills went to the garbage can instead of being channeled the right direction. <BR/>The German model is still very far from Portugal. There you only go to university if you really want that for your future, otherwise you have zillions of other schools training you in the fields you want.Blondewithaphdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439280318710592630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109406319784361937.post-11126032015276231912007-11-10T12:11:00.000+00:002007-11-10T12:11:00.000+00:00Blue,I don't know what you mean by "tiques comunis...Blue,<BR/>I don't know what you mean by "tiques comunistas!, but you're absolutely right that a lot of people with potencial are left out of the system, while others are taking their places. And what's happening at the secundary level is a complete shame to our education system.Blondewithaphdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439280318710592630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109406319784361937.post-71718320461463472752007-11-10T12:07:00.000+00:002007-11-10T12:07:00.000+00:00Quinn,Much too kind, much too kind!Quinn,<BR/>Much too kind, much too kind!Blondewithaphdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439280318710592630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109406319784361937.post-62671842757144874692007-11-10T09:13:00.000+00:002007-11-10T09:13:00.000+00:00My friend Blondie thinking on you I remember what ...My friend Blondie thinking on you I remember what our poet Pessoa wrote about Coke and sorry it will be in portuguese because it is so much better (in the case): "Primeiro estranha-se, depois entranha-se".<BR/>That´s what I feel about your writing and yourself.

Discute-se muito a lógica público/privado, e aqui, o público é frequentado maioritariamente pelas classes económicas mais favorecidas, no privado é o inverso. Por outro lado, quando se defende o ensino público, está-se a defender um modelo, no qual a sociedade investe na formação dos seus melhores, que depois irão retribuir á sociedade, sob a forma de conhecimento. Acontece, que Portugal é um país, onde os seus quadros mais qualificados, na sua esmagadora maioria formados no ensino superior público, têm rendimentos por vezes superiores á média europeia, ou então, por aí alinhados, enquanto a generalidade da população, que financia o ensino através dos seus impostos, continua a divergir dos rendimentos europeus.António de Almeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745874287995278410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109406319784361937.post-65426465192689296372007-11-09T22:58:00.000+00:002007-11-09T22:58:00.000+00:00Ah, afinal a Blondie fala português...
