Let me put it this way :
\nAs pupils, we were supposed to get education at school, open our minds, and step by step, fertilizing it with valuable information; discover science, logic, literature, sociology, the world history (including our ancestors\u2019), and so forth\u2026<\/p>\n
Well, the truth is :
\nThe emphasis was much more put on imprisoning our minds and setting blinders.
\nOur parents were mostly illiterate. However, respect and human values, we learned them from our families and our natural environment.<\/p>\n
The 1st thing we learned at school was to be afraid of our teachers!
\nWe should learn by heart all they wanted us to, and if we failed, we were beaten.
\nArguing, and criticizing, was out of question.<\/p>\n
{\u201cWhat!!! You teacher punished you?? Well done!\u201d} would our parents retort. Because, you see, for most of our parents, a teacher is supposed to be a respectable person who conveys knowledge into our small brains, and hence, would never be in error.<\/p>\n
Trapped! We were bound to swallow everything\u2026 But I guess, unconsciously, we did not digest it all\u2026 \u201cAnd this has to be taken as is, without questioning. Could you dare doubt God\u2019s words?\u201d \u201cIf you do so, then you got already the 1st class-ticket to hell\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n Can you imagine the fear we felt??? We, who just started into life???<\/p>\n Luckily, there were not only teachers from the Middle East. Because, hey! You know what? We were taught another language (of course, not ours) as well! That was\u2026French, taught by either French or Kabylians! So, the French\/Kabylian teachers were teaching us French and calculus. As explained previously (continuation of the article [memories from my school days->http:\/\/www.tamurt.info\/memories-from-my-school-days,173.html?lang=en]), my fellow people and I were thrown in the arena of a mischievous plot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":603,"featured_media":22280,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[354],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21572","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-society"},"yoast_head":"\n
\nThose foreigners taught us the Arabic grammar, conjugation, its literature, but above all, how powerful, righteous and proud they are, since \u201cAllah\u201d is on their side.
\nAny human being not believing in Allah (and not following Allah\u2019s orders), is bound to go to hell. Eternally.v
\n\u201cYou cannot argue with God, he who knows everything! And here what God says: \u201c\u2026bla\u2026bla\u2026bla\u2026.\u201d \u201c.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYeah, during the French occupation, a small percentage of the Kabylians got the chance to learn French\u2026They were also taught the French history (which begins with: {\u201cour ancestors, the Gaul\u2026\u201d}). Again! Not the Kabyle-history.
\nBut, that is another story\u2026<\/p>\n
\nNo God stories. We even could have a joke and laugh from time to time!!! Wow! That unique human quality was almost forgotten! Life could be beautiful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
