u r really something :))

Dear Michael,

Reading your message, i couldnt help smiling )

if u go today and ask any of the senior students in the school about the meaning of the word "Pillar", I m sure that LITERALLY nobody will know the answer... yet ALL OF THEM WILL TRY AN ANSWER do u see what i meant by saying that the school now TEACHES, SPONSORS and FOSTERS mediocrity...

by the way, i ve read T.E. Lawrence''s "7 Pillars of Wisdom".. as i said in my first message, i''ve always felt that i havent had a proper school eductaion, so i had to nurture my skills and mind... but this is not at all equitable to being raised in an institution that is dedicated to the aim of developing and tuning ur personality...

talking about donations.... DAAAAMN (sorry) but u r really something ) because you are the first person i meet in egypt (i suppose u live in egypt) that still understands the essence of private education... It is based on donations - much more than tuition fees... and it is not profit making - unlike the new mediocre law passed in 1995 (i suppose) that allow investors to establish private universities seeking profit!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Government allowed people to make profit by cutting education, labs and sports expenses !!!!!!!!!! how can u describe this horribe deed ??!!!!! may be the Government did that because it felt that nobody in egypt would start and "EMBRACE" an educational institution as a voluntary work - like in the west ??? what do u think?? but if that was the case, then i dont want to see some ***** clerics on tv saying that "the West has a materialistic civilization, so the west needs us to fill in its spiritual void"... Imagine: the west needs them to fill in its spiritual void... if u laugh at this statement, then it is like laughing at a few monkeys in a zoo
