An Arab man'southward endeavor at bridging the cultural gap and trying to make a divergence. Failing a lot. Succeeding once in a while.
Learning Arabic?
Don't become to Bahrain's private schools, hang on, don't try that anywhere in the Arab world! Y'all will only do yourself a disservice.

Learning Arabic?
In a mode its truthful just …
[quote]Anyway, simply with a quick look at his book, I was shocked with what I saw. It is full of spelling mistakes, out of context words and final but not least, completely irrelevant sentences to the pictures. However, everything is marked with teacher’s red pen; Right!?![/quote]

Until the standards of both government and private schools reach equilibrium (unlikely to happen anytime shortly), those who can afford it will always plow to the private sector.
Re: Learning Arabic?
Although it is true that y'all demand a partnership betwixt the school and home to ensure that children go a good education, the sad fact is that parents are too busy to dedicate a lot of their time farther educating their children. Only they sure should monitor their children's progress and at the very to the lowest degree await at and sign homework diaries.
I think there is no way that a parent can "be with him stride past pace" which is rather impractical. Also, in Haitham's instance, he is completely within his correct to question the instructor who unjustly seems to liberally use the tick mark without bothering to read what the child has written. This is a serious lapse in judgement not on the parents' side, only fully on the teacher and the school.
I fully support Haitham in that nosotros pay good money to these schools because we know that they are better standard than regime schools. And in this particular instance, and considering of this brain-dead teacher, we're not getting our coin's worth.
So please don't jump to conclusions Hashem, I personally know Haitham and know what he's getting at and he is the very last person to be negligent as far as his children's instruction is concerned.
The schoolhouse erred in a major way here and I hope that Haitham will accept this issue with the school'south management to get that teacher to pull her socks up, or be justifiably fired.
Re: Learning Arabic?
How interesting! I have no problem with teaching you or anyone else the coloqual Bahraini Arabic (both versions!) and am proud of both. Information technology is the teaching of classical Arabic that I have a trouble with because I'm non good at it!
I agree with the second, I too know some European and Far Eastern parents who accept actually gone to the schoolhouse to request their children learn Arabic as a foreign language (which is taught) simply were refused, because they preferred the children to practice modern languages similar French and German so they can sit that GSCE exams in them, rather than Arabic.
But it is a very must lost and perfect opportunity to teach the language. I am surprised that the Bahraini government does non insist on at least education everyone at to the lowest degree rudementary Standard arabic. Doesn't the Emirates do that?
Re: Learning Arabic?
Hashem,
Before you lot get fever and get-go giving me lectures how to raise my kids, do you know what blazon of school they become to? I guess not.
The kids are in "Day Boarding Schoolhouse.: Which means they exit early morning and comes dorsum 4pm. They do everything in school, even there home work. They don't behave back with them any book, except when they have exams so nosotros tin can help them review. And that is monthly bases.
On the other paw, yes I have the correct to blame the schoolhouse. Otherwise, why would I pay for them if they are non doing their chore? Can you blame the parents if they are working all day while nosotros trust the school, is a school? Otherwise, why would I transport them to school?
Logic human!
Learning Standard arabic?
I do concord that nosotros accept a problem with private schools regarding didactics standard arabic, but Mahmood you shoudnt generalise all individual schools, i take been to 2 private schools in Bahrain, i till my o-levels and achieved the i.b diploma in the other, merely both had a very stiff arabic-education staff and am very proud of my arabic both written and exact.
Luder.
Re: Learning Arabic?
Aye of course you lot're correct, and I'm wrong in generalising. I myself take attended an Arabic-based private school (the American Mission School) and their Arabic was indeed very good as was their educational activity staff and methods.
Nevertheless, looking at the Standard arabic staff as far equally my childrens' school is concerned, they're less than what I expect them to be and they accept a very high turnover of Arabic language teachers that continuity suffers. In addition to that, their syllabus needs modernising and brought in-tune with other subjects, rather than again depend on the three Rs as a pedagogy method.

Learning Arabic?
Whilst on the bailiwick….
ane) Information technology is almost impopssible to find a bahraini who volition teach you amiyya. Why? Ashamed of it? Information technology's not the Prophet's (pbuh) Standard arabic? I dunno
2) I know many European parents who would love their children to be taught Arabic at school but private school, policy is that it is bachelor only to Standard arabic kids.

Re: Learning Arabic?
Hashem practice you have children?
If you do and yous apply what yous preach then your children are indeed privileged to take the best father in the earth.
If yous don't. Await until you do and then I hope you revisit this topic and tell united states about your experiences. I can bet whatever money you wish to put down that y'all volition change your mind drastically.
As to the crux of the problem, educational activity here sucks, large time, and the Arabic/Islam teaching and syllabi suck even bigger. Their teachers are much to blame for making dry subjects even drier and near uninteresting to young and quondam alike.
Re(1): Learning Arabic?
After I complained and with little follow upwards, [b]the teacher was fired[/b]. Seems she had a bad history. Good for the students.
Re(two): Learning Standard arabic?
EXCELLENT! NOTHING gets done if yous're not passionate nearly it and if y'all don't do it yourself. Well done. Now the children should at least accept a better chance at learning Arabic.
This actually reminds me of a story a friend of mine experienced in a restaurant in usa:
My friend frequented a restaurant in Miami when he and his family took a brake from the Cayman Islands. My friend and the restaurant owner become friends, and in one of their conversations the restaurant possessor told my friend that he hated English patrons!
Why? My friend enquired – who was English!
The owner said: If y'all inquire the English if everything is ok they volition invariably say "yes" even though at that place might indeed be something wrong with the food. Yous will never see them once more, but you can be sure that immediately they walk out of the door they will start bad-mouthing y'all, thus impacting your business concern negatively.
Merely, American tourists are quite the opposite, they volition haul you over, mutter about what information technology is they took umbrage with and demand that information technology be corrected. They will leave, just will come back to ensure that whatever they complained near remains stock-still. If it is they volition be your customer for life and volition tell all their friends nearly how adept yous have become, thus impacting your business concern quite positively.
What you did Haitham is the 2d, and I hope that the school appreciate what you did because with that act, information technology increased their quality.
