    In the case of Abu Ghraib, this was a real question. Were the people who committed the abuse at Abu Ghraib just bad people, bad apples? There's this wonderful book written by a very prominent psychologist named Philip Zimbardo called The Lucifer Effect. He made a very good case that it's not bad apples who generally are responsible. There are bad apples out there, but almost all war crimes, abuse and atrocities and so forth, are a product of the environment of what he called the "bad barrel," of a situation that almost forces people to act violently and cruelly toward others.

  • Computer giant Apple has expressed interest in making a deal to supply its tablet computers to the Education Ministry for use in Thai schools.
  • The minister said Apple and his ministry would form a working group to test how Apple products could serve the project. If the test proved positive, the ministry would be interested, despite the high prices. If not, the ministry would choose an Android operating system, Mr Woravat said.
  • The distribution of tablet computers to students was one of election campaign promises of the governing Pheu Thai Party.

    WELCOME to Teachers in the Movies, brought to you by Dr. Apple, the Movie Teacher. This website is dedicated to help teaching professionals bring movies into their curriculum. For more than 20 years, I have collected and reviewed over 200 movies dealing with teachers, schools and students and how they deal with all types of topics including bullying, cheating, dropouts and so much more. The purpose of this website is share what I've learned from these movies about the teaching profession with you. If you need a movie dealing with a specific problem, then I can prescribe a movie or clip to cure your educational ailments.

allAfrica.com: Namibia: Close to 1 500 Pregnant Girls Drop Out in 2010 - 1 views

Namibia girls girls' education pregnancy education

shared by Teachers Without Borders on 11 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • A total of 1 493 schoolgirls dropped out of school last year because they fell pregnant. Furthermore, a total of 31 teachers "were recorded to have been responsible for some pregnancies". This shocking revelation was made by Education Minister Abraham Iyambo during his New Year's address yesterday.
  • According to him, "current measures to punish those who impregnate learners must be revised urgently and strengthened immediately. We have no excuse to wait. Management must attend to this." Iyambo promised that all the bad apples will be eradicated this year. He said 2011 will be "a year of recommitment, better education outcomes, mass drive and mobilisation".
  • Iyambo emphasised that "education is not an asset if it is not quality education". He said: "We need a serious inventory to pinpoint possible misfits ... before they become a system. We need urgent transformation of our education system from the bottom to the top."

  • In light of the close to 50 per cent of grade 10s who failed last year, Iyambo said: "We spend too much money on repetition, dropouts, repetition rates and failure rates. We cannot afford to send children into the streets year in and year out."
  • The most important means to address the crisis is to invest more in teachers, he said. "Teachers are the solid backbone of any education system. The determinant factor of the quality of any education system is the quality of its teachers and more importantly the collective capacity of teachers.
