If you want to get me into a passionate discussion, lure me into one about education.<BR/><BR/>@ Cheri: The name araalinuga (I like it lowercase) is the result of four years of transition and evolution. When I first came to Uganda, five years ago, I lived with a Banyoro family. Of course they had to give me empaako. Hence, Araali. I lived in a rural area of Hoima for three years, was known primarily as Araali and became quite fond of the name. When I left Uganda and headed to a small island in the South Pacific, I began my first blog to keep friends around the globe updated on my whereabouts and what I was up to. I called the blog <I>araalinas</I>: Araali in American Samoa. When I left AS for the USA, my next blog, documenting my stint there was <I>araalinusa</I>. Now, because Araali is in Uganda (I came bace a year ago), it is <I>araalinuga</I>. Thanks for stopping by.

What sinister fate awaits me and people like me, in this world that is obsessed with the wrong way to look at (and quantify) aptitude/capability? They think performance is (a) test(s) is a nice way to quantify. Few things under the sun are half as wrong. :o(The 27th Comradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490992094734826485noreply@blogger.com
