A developing country with extremely expensive elementary schools. Meanwhile, some of the best economies and countries in Europe have very HIGH QUALITY and FREE education to University level, countries such as Norway, Germany and Denmark. These are countries where world leading companies have been created and continue to be created.
So paying higher price of education does not necessarily mean you have a guaranteed successful life, it may earn you social status though :) but that's about it.
 Hear hear This our country has misplaced priorities. If its not our leaders earning super salaries, its their kids paying exorbitant fees. This little children will grow up to be monsters and widen the economic gaps further. All at the expense of the ordinary mwanainchi tax payer! I wonder what their neighbors Kibera, just down the road, have to say. Tang'oa reli? ...is it anyone's fault if you/I grow up in or surrounded by oppulence? Well, if you put it like that, its not.

My prediction is that in the not so far future we will have some new 'posh' diseases being diagnosed here and which would mostly affect the rich kids in "computer labs" somewhere in some hi-tech schools in Kenya- "diseases" like LAPTOP-ITIS. http://usatoday30.usatod...08-22-laptop-pain_N.htm[/quote] FYI, the article in USA Today is not peer-reviewed. Unless you want to spread false notions, come back with a peer-reviewed source. Ok Boss. By the way if i was Kamlesh Pattni i'd take my boy to this school.

I agree that this is just a lifestyle being sold here and it's very expensive. When some people in the more developed countries are questioning the use of laptops in class here we are being told(ok, not the likes of me who can't afford the lifestyle) that it's trendy. Quote:Moreover, learning in a classroom should be a social process in which the student interacts with the instructor and other students. I try to avoid straight lecturing in favor of engaging my students in interactive questions and answers. Moreover, I arrange ways in which the students can learn through discussions with each other. Even my biggest classes have a 5-minute allocation for small group discussions. Especially in an interdisciplinary class that attracts many different kinds of students, much can be learned from such discussions among them. I've noticed that laptop use discourages students from this kind of participation. http://www.stanford.edu/...Bstudent%2Blearning.pdf

:) Now I found what I was looking for! Finally!!!! Ok. Not hating but....I think the likes of James Mwangi turned out fine. Success in life doesn't reaaaally depend on which school you attended. May be 10%. The rest is your character and determination to succeed in life.
