Grades, high grades. Easier college access. Get them while they're hot!
Private schools and the like.
Unlike some, if not most, coutries, private schools and colleges here have an entirelly different purpose. People don't go there because they have better teachers, better conditions, access to a better education, etc. They go there because it's easy. You give us money, we'll give you good grades. Everybody knows this.
Still, a couple of years ago they started collecting statistics. Now, statistics are fun because they give people a way to quantify stuff. Now you can do more that say that they just give out grades. You have the data to prove it. Acording to the basis of a democratic state and it's justice system, irrefutable evidence is enough to convict someone. In this case, should be enough to at least prove what everyone already knows. Money talks, shit walks. Rule of life and all.
The problem is that there are legislative organs dedicated to verifying that these situations do not occur often or preferably, at all. Something about equal oportunities and everyone being equal under a democratic state. I generally dislike democracy because in a democratic state, idiots have opinions. Still, it has its good sides. In any case, there is a ministry for education... you know, guys who should look after this shit and all.
I honestly don't care that they let this go on. There are economical interests at stake here. Private schools are a good source of income for the... I was gonna say the state. I meant the politicians. Most of the owners (education IS a busyness) are also friends of the family and shit. What I really hate, what pisses me off, is how hypocrits they are when they come on national television and say that "we didn't know that", "we still haven't got sufficient data" and that "it will be looked into". And with that, no more responsability.
You fuck yourself up studying to get in and some daddy's kid ends up ahead of you. Even better, since for public office, your graduation grade (don't remember what it's called) counts, the ones who go into private colleges end up ahead of all the rest of the people who actually studied and know something. Hence, we have tons of incompetent fucks teaching our kids and doing various other stuff in the role of a "public servant"...fuckers!
I know the world works this way, it always did. But it pisses me off. It really, REALLY pisses me off... and I'm not one of those losers who couldn't get into medical school. They are the ones who get really fucked over on these things... poor doctor-wannabes!
I don't think this post made much sense... I'm just venting out. If you want something that makes a little more sense, go watch Monty Python.

i still read your blog...i'm just too lazy to make any comment! RN
I'd like to ask the honorable blogger wether this opinion arose from his recent professional experience or from the recent media buzz.
Having spent 1 gruolsome year of my life slaving in a private school of his knoledge I find that it woud be more meaningful to know...
There have always been places -- who said Ribadouro?, I myself can't meantion names... noblesse oblige -- where grades are for sale... and if allowed so would the answers to the questions from the national exams (in real-time, now that's good value for money people!. True. This isn't fair. Is it fair that public schools in the poorer inland cities of our country are worst than those in the large cities?
The People's Republic of China, that shinning example of equality and proletarian solidarity has privatized education so most of their citizens are now blocked from the means of succes in this society... A glance into the future? Comments are welcome.
