I'm now sitting to read the CBC petition in detail.

This one made me think: I cant, for the love of God, imagine why Kenyans who went through 8.4.4 are accepting to be scapegoats of the elites. That's not humility. It's trauma.

And why do we accept abuse of our kids? Eesh. Image
And by whose standards are 8.4.4s judged incompetent? By the standards of Mr. "the government loses 2bn shillings a day"? Mr 7trn shilling debt is calling you incompetent?

Haki Kenyans have a high tolerance for abuse.
Haiya, kumbe exporting labor was a Jubilee policy? WTH! I kept wondering why GoK officials kept promising to send us abroad: doctors, nurses, even plumbers and masons (yes), marine workers to stay on ships for six months away from home...

Haki Muigai is a proper slave exporter. Image
We have a president who doesn't want Africans in Kenya. His policy is "waafrika waende ulaya, wazungu wahame huku."

How can you have a president who doesn't like us? This is crazy. #CBCmustFall

"Nurturing talent" has no business in education. It's one of the damaging ideas in CBC. Just like I've told artists to stop calling themselves talented and demand respect and renumeration for their work, parents need to stop talking of talent when it comes their kids' education.
"Talent" is a terrible concept. It encourages kids not to work and teachers not to teach. Then they give the excuse that the kids are "not talented."

Talent also encourages prejudice. Kids in RV could not be given maths education if teachers say the kids' talent is in running.
This talent nonsense could see schools in uthamakistan getting all the resources and then were told it's because the kids are more "talented" than kids in northern Kenya.

You've heard this talent nonsense before. Like Kikuyu "talent for business" to wash wash tenderprenuering.

I don't know what the lawyers would say, but no commission has been so autocratic and destructive as the @TSC_KE. It has used its power over teachers to break the unions and has started becoming a monster with tentacles reaching into the curriculum. Something needs to be done.
.@TSC_KE has been meddling in teacher training and is singularly responsible for the rise in exam cheating through its performance management system which it was given by @BritishCouncil. It is therefore also become a major conduit for neocolonialism.
.@TSC_KE is infected with what Benjamin Ginsberg called administrative bloat, where education administrators with no kids to teach compensate fore their lack of real influence by using more of their time controlling the educators in the classroom.

This deal is inhuman, illegal and unconstitutional. How do you send nurses trained to treat Kenyans to treat UK nationals, then you get a cut? Is that not human trafficking?

Will the nurses be allowed to move with their families and their kids attend school? @StateHouseKenya
"Human Trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of people through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit."

GoK has forced medical workers to go abroad by mistreating them and not employing them. That's force.
Getting pay for the work of Kenyans whom the government does not employ is profit for work which the government hasn't done, especially if those nurses paid their own fees.

If they can't go with their families, that's emotional abuse.

CBC is based on a hoax of "education reform," where tech companies and businesses adopt the progressive language of John Dewey. So they sell flowers like "individual learning" or "talent," but mean something different from what parents hear.

We have to understand: CBC is spin.
When CBC promoters say "individual learning," or "self-driven learning," what they don't tell you is that they'll sit kids in front of computers and let them learn on their own. If parents are rich enough to help, sawa. If not, then the kids are "not talented." #CBCmustfall
CBC was based on the model of Bridge Academies. The idea was to put kids in front of an untrained teacher who reads out what is on the tablet.

KICD were bureaucrats who could not understand these politics. They bought the hype. #CBCMustfall

Wonderful @BBCAfrica! We know this story. Prince WIlliam has his peeps in Laikipia, so you can't go reporting the truth about Kenya. You owe the Kenya government one.

Little of what @WaihigaMwaura says about 8.4.4 is true. bbc.com/news/world-afr…
And anyway, CBC is your curriculum. It sounds like the Phelps Stokes commission, it was funded by @BritishCouncil, and guys at Oxford and @DFID_UK were sponsoring the experiments on teachers.

A level (Aristocratic level) is your thing @BBCAfrica
Like I said on @theelephantinfo, the UK still has a beef with Kenya and some president from a small community (not included in your Swynnerton plan) for straying away from the British path. @BBCAfrica

To understand the problem with #CBCKe, it seems we need a discussion on
1. difference between childhood and adulthood
2. What knowledge is and why it matters
3. The role of emotions and intimacy
4. The importance of privacy.

All these other things about jobs etc is just noise.
The fundamental difference between childhood and adulthood is social responsibility for actions whether individual or social. When kids play, they play for fun and enjoy themselves. They learn collaboration, expression and creativity.

But adults are conscious of consequences.
So when kids are playing a wedding on their own, it is very different from when adults facilitate them and watch them doing it.

Kids on their own are just having fun. After all,in real weddings, they know that they are not the bride and groom but the flower girls and page boys.
