Sandstorms & beatings

I’m not talking about the Dust Tsunami we had in Kuwait on Friday, you all saw it.  I can only say that I feel sorry for all the people who have to clean up, a most unpleasant experience.  I think cleaning up after the dust storm would be a good punishment for bad drivers, litterbugs, corrupt government officials, badly behaved students, arrogant behaviour, racists and all people of that ilk.

Everybody in the country is in a buzz about the teacher at a local school who was filmed beating students with a cane.  He is foul mouthed and seems to spend his time throwing profanities at the students while he beats them. I know that students at the government schools here can be rude, badly behaved, aggressive and difficult to handle but this teacher appears to have lost the plot completely. I hear he has been sacked and is awaiting legal proceedings and quite right too.  Now does anyone have any tips about how to manage difficult, aggressive students?

In the school across the road the students are not like that at all.  Yes, they have a naughty boy or girl or two but naughty there means being a little lippy or lazy, nothing more.
The other issue to watch out for is the Iranis across the water.  They are busy stoking the fire trying to create a rift between the Sunnis and the Shia.  They are trying to manipulate the Shia community into believing they are downtrodden which, in Kuwait anyway, is just not true, so that they can upset the applecart and put in a dictatorial Islamic Republic such as the one they have.  And what a dump they’ve made of their country!!!!
