Looking at the country and education.

The Spicks and the Specks

Had a conversation with teacher assistant Esmira, from the Early Learning Centre.  She said that during the Soviet days they were restricted from listening to Western music, rather they only had classical and Soviet music.  Of course, everyone secretly listened to European music stations on shortwave and Esmira loved listening to the Beatles. More than that, she absolutely loved the BeeGees and could have listened to them every minute of the day.  She still loves to listen to them whenever she can.  I think there’s a message there about the effectiveness of political repression.

On another thought line, just wondering whether this is our school or not.  :-)
