About That Arab Life

How to be an arab: Schools

So before I begin, yes I know I have not been updating *slaps hand*

And I'm extremely sorry for that, but there is a reason wallah! And that reason is....

المدرسة

Yes u heard right school.

A dreadful evil prison which is surprisingly legal!

Okay, okay I will calm down know.

*breathes in* as u can see I don't like it very much...

Anyhow, so I go to school in Britain and its good and all (Allah forgive me for lying) but I want to share my experiences in an Arab school...

So I'm Libyan, and I went to school in libya when I went to visit In December for about 2 weeks.

Before I begin, just a note, this is my experience and I have also compared it to my other Arab friends experiences, so it should be accurate inshallah.

LETS BEGIN

ME: mama I'm so excited, we will sing and play and ride rainbows! (I was an awesome child )

MAMA: *looks into the distance* yes child u will love it

BABA: don't lie!! Lying is haram.

ME: what?

MAMA: gotta go love you mm Kay bye!

*drives off*

ME: bye then *skips to class*

TEACHER: YOU SILLY STUPID KALBA ITS NOT FIVE ITS THIVE!!!!

*turns around*

TEACHER: oh habibti (my love) u must be jadeed ( new) yallah gamzi ( come on sit)

ME: Hadr ( okay)

TEACHER: ( in Arabic but I will translate ) we are just learning English, it's hard so try your best.

ME: Abla ( teacher) I'm actually..

TEACHER: stupid? It's okay half of the class are too.

ME: actually its/

TEACHER: okay no more talking I'm teaching don't be rude!

okay class and again

CLASS: one two three four THIVE six seven eight nine ten.

TEACHER: are u all stupid in brain? It's meight not eight!!

*bell rings*

TEACHER: enjoy break P.E is next

*children scream like headless chickens onto the playground*

The playground.

Where children trade oranges for apples and crisps for yoghurt. Where children feel like drug dealers when they trade their food for something better...

*bell rings*

TEACHER: okay class, outside now.

We don't change for P.E. We stay in our uniforms. Let me hear an EEEWWWW

But for a lazy 7 year old it was awesome because 'P.E' only consisted of skipping for girls and football for boys. It was awesome cuz I loved skipping ( I don't anymore I look like a waddling duck. Don't ask)

*bell rings*

TEACHER: time for music.

* class screams*

TEACHER: WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT RAISING YOUR VOICE IN SCHOOL THIS IS SO DISRESPECTFUL.... ( and blah blah blah(

The real reason for the excitement is because we have a different teacher. Lol our P.E teacher must feel loved...

TEACHER: okay everyone... Dor Ray me fa....

CLASS: dor Ray me-

RANDOM KID IN CLASS: MISS SAMIHIYAD my ( forgive me) cat died and my car broke down and I fell in a puddle and was late to school...

TEACHER: WALLAH? U lazy kid wake up earlier next time.

RANDOM KID IN CLASS: jazakallah it won't happen again-

TEACHER: it's not a good enough excuse. That's it. For answering back ur suspended. Bye!

*kid cries and leaves*

TEACHER: WAIT!

RKIC: what?

teacher: Allah yarham ur dog.

RKIC: cat miss. It was my cat -_-

*assistant teacher enters*

Assistant teacher: hey Mariam sorry I'm late I ran over a cat on my way here and the owner, a little boy wouldn't move off the road!

TEACHER: kids these days no respect!
