From Spiros
Hello

live in Athens , Greece.I a an editor in an online
newspaper edited by children from all over the world
with the support of MIT.
http://journal.jrsummit.net. Iam writing to ask you
for a favour. I read about your project in the newsletter IEARN sends and iam writing to tell you
that i would be very glad to host work of your
project in the Junior Journal.The only restriction
 is that it must be written by children under 19
 years old. So if you think that there is such
possibility please inform me.
thank you

chere salimata,
a mon avis l'echec scolaire c'est plutot un phenomene qui est influence par raisons familiales et economiques. excepte ceux qui n'ont pas les capacites mentales, le reste des eleves qui echouent manquent en general du support des leur parents (economique et ethique). des problemes familiales et economiques ne permettent pas aux eleves a aimer l'ecole et a travailler. parfois les parents sont indifferents ou ils ne sont pas eduques. pour moi ceux sont les raisons primaires. bien sur on peut trouver un milliard d'autres car chaque eleve est un cas special et a des raisons personelles. peut etre je peux etre fort en mathematiques mais je ne sais pas si je
fais tout possible pour ca. et le probleme primaire et que je suis fort en concernant l'ecole (j'ai 100/100 - non seulement en mathematiques mais a tous les lecons). mais je ne suis pas satisfe. je cherche et je trouve toujours des choses nouveaux et ca ne finit jamais. je suis perdu dans des bouquins et des exercises. aujourd'hui j'ai trouve un livre ancien de ma mere (quand elle etait a l'ecole) et j'ai trouve quelques idees interessantes.
a bientôt

Education for ALL
I am a firm believer that everyone deserves ( meriter )  the right to a free and appropriate education in which they are entitle to an education in which they can receive the basic ideas that are required of someone to attend college or some other post-secondary schoo l. Education is a God given right that people all over the world should be given. We are extremely fortunate that in America we can attend school without having to be a certain status in the community. Everyone has the right to attend college and to in crease his/her knowledge about the world and its people. Therefore as Americans we should make sure that all persons are entitled to( avoir le droit de)  this right. In order for poor countries to become successful they need to provide( pouvoir ) this opportunity to its citizens. If countries would educate their citizens we would see drastic ( radical) changes in how that country operates and also how the world views that country .

I agree with you. In this day and time, everyone should be given the right to attend school. All children should be given the opportunity to go to grade school, and these days, almost anyone can go to college. That is one issue I have a problem with. People give excuses to why they can't get a good job or even any job at all. They say they can't afford to go to college and get an education. I don't believe that-there are so many grants, loans, and other financial aides, that almost anyone should be able to go to college, at least for two years. I wish there was a way to advertise this so that people who really want to go to college, but think they can't afford it, can go. Enrolling in college is such an easy thing to do, everyone should be given th e right and opportunity.

I agree that education is more than just getting the grades and passing the classes. Being educated means having knowledge of all sorts, not just what you would learn at a school. There are many people in underprivileged communities who never get to go to school but they are still very educated, in a lot of ways, more so than a college graduate.
Education does not have a universal definition, it has different meanings in different parts of the world and different cultures. Even between two people who do go to school, one might be much more educated in one area. It all depends on your life and what you have been exposed to. People should not be judged by the amount of "schooling education" they have. Many times we think that people who have not attended school are beneath us and not smart. This is a stereotype and it is a very egotistical way of thinking.

Hello N. Brooke Tabb !
As you say ”Education for all “  is the best way for a country to intent to a development   . Education is the foundation of development but in poor countries .
Brooke, you know in poor countries, “Education for” all is an aim which is not reached . For example   in Africa all children are not Educated because of poverty or cultural  belief . It is worst for girls , in some ethnic people think that a girl have not to go to school they have to stay at home to help their “condemned mother “ .
We think that it is crucial to maintain those who have chance to go to school .Our aim is to try to see what to do for those who are Educated  and who have problems to continue their studies  .We want to help them to resolve the problems linked to their Education .
In your country do you think they are students who stop their Education because of any kind problem ( social, economic our psychologic  …………….)
Do you have an example and what could be done for those students ?
Looking forward to hearing from you
