So it's been over a year now...

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's me again...

Just over a year ago, I created this site to let me vent out my thoughts on Choueifati ideology. I created it to let the world know what is really happening behind the scenes of "one of the premier schools of the Middle East". I created it to explain how ridiculous the mores of our schools were, and how we were deprived of any creativity or art.

Well, a year and a bit later, I'm now happily living in xxxxxx and I couldn't be feeling much better. Life is much less stressful, even though I'm working full time. I've gotten back to my music, my sport and I really don't have much to thank Choueifat for.

I mean, I had some awesome friends through my years and I really don't like complaining about anything, but the issues in Choueifat really needed to be thoroughly addressed. That doesn't mean that we should whine and bitch about every single flaw in the school, because obviously, no school is perfect, but we need to make a point so as to stop as many problems as we can. The first step is of course to inform everyone, inside and outside of the school, about the atrocities happening daily within our fair school.

Which brings me to my next point... Don't believe anything that the administration tells you in regards to your education. We are supposed to be the intellectual "elite", but you will all see when you hit university that there will ALWAYS be a smarter crowd. Apparently, all we learnt in Choueifat and all the art we sacrificed was in vain, because I really don't feel any smarter than my peers.

In fact, I feel like I missed out on too much in high school. I've gotten over it, but I really do think that the school needs a total reform. I guess it doesn't really matter though... With all the lawsuits going on and the higher-up exploits being uncovered, I don't think we should worry about the future of the school, because there probably won't be one.

Thanks for reading.

ok look choueifat has two main problems in gr10 and after:
1. too many pointless rules
2. no attention to arts
but in other areas i can say its good and could even be the best. I mean you can't deny the fact that choueifat science teaching is amazing. In grades 9 and before, you are treated as immature kids... really pissing off.

Another thing is that many decision makers in our adminstration dont value life or fun, all they care about is money, so they are making us believe that money making is the way to go, which is why we should study everyday, evertime, even in break.

Bottom line is I do like the school acadimiccaly, and I dont mind repeats coz i don fail, but if i did or if i were you (i.e interested in arts and/or hate the school that much) i wouldnt stay in the school, so why not simply change your school instead of getting pissed and writing a blog?

well another victim of choueifat...but luckily you escaped and moved on. I think its only a matter of time until they wake up and change. Believe me when the old man dies, things will change. Bistany is getting on now and when he dies there will be a huge exodus. They will all fight over his money and assets. What legacy will he leave behind him? There are so many who absolutely hate his guts. I am surprised he can sleep at night. As for Germanos, i pity him. He should be in a hospital not a school. So many ruined minds so many angry teachers. Its really a sad state. Just remember any of you still in the system, just keep your heads down and count the days until you leave. God I really feel so sorry for you guys. I wish I had the power to close their entire school system down. One day we shall all look back and laugh especially when the lose everything and they will. "what goes around comes around!"

Choueifat science teaching is amazing? Did you actually mean that? I mean really? Lemme tell you how amazing ISC science is: I went to 10th grade in ISC and took Chem level 1. So when I transferred to the US, I took Chem level 2, seems logical, right? WRONG. I was completely unprepared. What we took in Choeifat in a year of Level 1 they took in the US in around 4 months in their Chem Level 1, and that isn't an exagerration, I'm dead serious. I mean really, in ISC they teach excrutiatingly slow, because they think all of their students are morons and that they can't handle more than one point a day. Then they go over like 80 examples on the point. Then they feed you 60% of the test beforehand, and some students still do bad. Thats amazing? I think not. I was shocked when I heard that basic questions appear on the exams. In any normal school, students BEG the teachers for a hint of what is coming on the exam, but in ISC they GIVE you the EXACT questions and students do bad? The only thing amazing about that is how any student can possibly fail an exam under those circumstances.

Yea to whoever just complimented Germanos, wow thats past disturbed, thats just sick...
That guy is the most screwed up son of a that i have ever met in my entire life... listening to his garbage two times a week for 2 years made me want to cut out my eardrums... And if he thinks he is so write, then how come in a whole year he never allowed anyone to say something on that microphone during the advising classes? that man should be lynched...

Are you mad?(Those actually praising the devil himself and this wretched, so called system of education!!)
We're all completely screwed when we go off to university because we won't have our 'precious' basic questions.
A few years on, people will be discussing some work of art or their personal opinion on XX war and us choueifatties will be completely clueless!!!

Anonymous number.3. I could not take your comment seriously because it looked and sounded alot like text-talk and not a good, well-supported argument. what I mean to say is that you did not use proper grammar and spelling.

Mr. Germanos is the Satan himself, and whoever complimented that son of a bitch deserves to be kicked a million times in the ribs.
