I find the attitudes towards rape victims disturbing and I'd rather not read them. you can't just pick and chose your mistakes. YOU made a CLEAR mistake. please apologies. Saffz, inabti, please don't misconstrue my intentions. i would never personally condone kufsi, ma garatay? i'm merely saying.....there are vile women out there who have no qualms about fabricating heinous allegations of kufsi, dee. this is why a woman only get half of what the man gets in inheritance. if you don't believe me........ask the Saudis.

Man I thought the Kenyan Police were bad, but the Somali cops take it to a whole another level. This type of stuff shouldn't surprise any of us you needn't accuse them of being corrupt and thuggish. the burden of prove lies with the women who've made such allegations their bread and butter. 4 witness, somaha?

^ i'm an educator. that's different from being a teacher. it's like being a motivational speaker as opposed to being a lecturer. teaching is awesome, abti. i've been a teacher 4 times in my life. the experiences have made me a better person, ruunti. you can always do a PCGE and become a teacher, too. you'll be considered as ''key worker'' and will get first dips on housing schemes. there's even a pension, apparently.

Hat, abti, islam and politics are incompatible somaha?

A big problem with some (or most) Somali parents is that it is very difficult to convince them that attending University may not be the best path for their child(ren). A high number of Somali children are put into these categories of ADHD/ADD. This may sound harsh but many Somali parents want their children to make them look good in front of their peers over becoming successful (the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive). P.S: Someone needs to do research into this form of learning using animated characters, don't think I would've watched it otherwise. as an educator myself, i've come to appreciate the use of visual aids as tools to enhance the education experience. people learn differently and it's important to accommodate all. in my classrooms, i feel it's important to make learning as interactive as possible. participation is crucial. using traditional techniques (teacher talks and students listen) polarises the class. i find it's important to organise group based activities. this allows everyone to participate. i've also organised group presentations using the projector. just last week in one of our introductory classes.....i wrote on the board - ''what is education''. my aims were two-fold: 1. to give a background to education 2. to get a sense of what the students deem as ''education''. the discussion was very interesting.

world toilet day. really? that's madness.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Don't let me be misunderstood

excellent.
