Groundbreaking-New school in Dilijan to provide unique learning experience in Armenia

Re: Groundbreaking-New school in Dilijan to provide unique learning experience in Arm

I don't know if I like the fact that all the school's classes are in English. There should also be an Armenian course at least.... even if odars start attending it, they would learn at least a little of our beautiful language.

Dilijan International School to be opened in 2014

Dilijan International School of Armenia will be opened in 2014, Mayor of the town of Dilijan, Armen Santrosyan told reporters.

According to the Mayor, the school is intended to accommodate 550 pupils. All of the classes will be taught in English in the school.

“We hope Dilijan School will become a unique international school in the region and will also be attended by children from foreign countries,” Santrosyan said.

Australia-based Michael Thompson has been appointed as school headmaster.

Don't worry. Armenians have to stop this nonsense mentality. For one I know, if Armenia want's to account to something in this world, we have to built such schools and entities. We are a small nation and thus we rely more on other nations. They will learn a lot about Armenia and Armenians, even though it is in English. Further more, we need professionals, highly-educated (economic) intellectuals, we don't need to make it obligatory to study Armenian history in every school. Do you realize how huge this project is, how many talented professors from all over the world (and Skolkovo) will come to Armenia, and how many Diaspora-Armenians will study at this top-notch school, instead of somewhere else? And how many poor children in Armenia will have the chance to get a higher education? This is just the beginning.

How bad it sounds, we need to create a new elite, and elite which is based upon education, this is the new elite we need and the elite the Turks killed in the genocide. The elite ruling in Armenia now is of a destructing breed. And don't begin with the communist bullxxxx, most of the people are sheeps and some are the shepherds.

So much of this thread is full of fighting and namecalling, I think we've seen enough. Tigranakert, Haykakan, next time you start insulting others like this you'll receive a ban immediately without warning.

Thread closed.

People who use phrases such as "I care about the poor" have not lived through it.
Also, you seem to have a difficulty in grasping the context in which comments are made to you. Here, I'll explain it to you. You claim its a good idea to give more scholarships to foreign students than Armenian students, and you also claim you would support the Armenian government to send large sums of money as aid to other countries. Well, only someone who hasn't seen the situation in Armenia would suggest that it's a good idea to spend money on others than your own citizens. The equivalent of that is to deny education to your kids and instead offer it to your neighbors kids with the hope that when the neighbor's kids grow up they will support you and your kids.

You just don't stop hallucinating and constantly draw your weird conclusions based on nothing. I am not going to tell my personal or family story because I have no need to, but people who have been through hardships (and poverty) tend to care more for the ''poor'' than those who have never experienced it. Tend, because in contrary to you, I do not generalize as there are many exceptions of ''rich'' (well-to-do) people who also care about others well beings.

Also, Levon, you seem to not even understand one single message of my writings. I never said that it is a good thing more scholarships are given to ''foreign'' students dan local ones, show me where I explicitly mentioned that (again, hallucinating)? Percentage-wise, more local students get scholarships compared to ''foreign'' students, I have only mentioned your negativism and pessimism you have towards everything, no matter how big or small.

Also, Levon, I have never said that it is good if Armenia sends ''large sums of money'' (in the sence of tens of millions of dollars), but I mentioned that the 700 thousand dollar (or one million) we donated to a disaster struck area, is a good thing, for a multiple of reasons. First and foremost because actually we receive(d) hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, so it is (politically and morally) the least we could do to give something back to other people in need. If you are so worried, the mission in Kosovo or Iraq costs us millions of dollars and dozens of other projects cost us even more. I also mentioned that if you are so worried for the money sent to people in need, we at the same time waist millions of dollars in Armenia (either by corrupt people, useless projects, people evading TAX and thousands of other things we need to improve) which we could use to help the poor in Armenia.

You just take my sentence out of context and want to show that ''I do not care about poor people in Armenia and I want to send BILLIONS of dollars to foreign countries''. Levon, your tactic is doomed to fail as everyone knows you are a pessimistic lier, grow up.

Do you know what a pessimist is? A man who thinks everybody as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.

Yes Haykakan, he does not stop hallucinating as I mentioned before. Even though he does not know who I am, where I come from, he surely does know he lived in poverty and I did not. I can tell you one thing, the situation you were in Levon was probably better than the situation me and my family were in around the same time, but I don´t have the need to resort to emotional stories, nor do I claim that I have seen more ´poverty´ than you to use as an argument. Very, very childish.

Re: Groundbreaking-New school in Dilijan to provide unique learning experience in Arm

Heh, so now you are forbidden to point out that Levon is wrong since you have not lived through poverty. Now Levon also knows if you have been spoiled to. While it is amusing how you pull crap out of your vor, it is getting old. I guess we should all be thankful though since he didnt use his two favorit words this time.

Keep your insults to yourself. Also, read the previous posts to understand the context of my comment to Tigranakert.

Thanks sir.

It seems this thread has turn into more of a pissing contest than anything else. BTW, I am 44 with high mileage and a salvage title.
Some say I shouldn't even be alive......makes you appreciate life.

Overcoming difficulties encountered increases spiritual quality of life and makes people appreciate it. And yet you have the most important mission of adjusting, whenever needed, the life route of your 19 year old son. Enjoy the mission and accomplish it. The best way of doing it, you know, is indirect one. My youngest son, of three, is 26.
