for those of you who went to school in haiti which " Lesson(s)" from the following books do you still remember: histoire d'Haiti, geographie d'Haiti,sciences et hygienes,civiques et morales.
example:

un volcant est une montagne qui vomit de la fumee des cendres et de la lavre par une ouverture appellee cratere.(geographie)

[Machiavel]

And you had to remind us how useless Haiti's school system is. Before we can blame anyone for Haiti's misery, blame the school system first, the absolute worst in the world.

A Haitian co-worker back in the days was bragging how a young man in his neighborhood was so intelligent. He said that that guy was so smart that he could recite so many Descartes passages. I said to him, "Patner, moun sout se eveneman. Anybody can learn to memorize anything, just a bible verse or a song." There is absolutely nothing smart about that."

Even from some of the interaction on the board, it's easy to pinpoint those who have been schooled in Haiti.

[Sassoune]

Hmmmm who?, I think you're generalizing in this instance. Yes, overall Haiti has one of the worst school system, but as always there are exceptions to the rule. I won't get into this debate as I'm not sure that is what the posted intended with his topic.

Tout corps plonge dans un liquide, subit une poussee vertical de bas en haut, egal au poids du volume du liquide deplace par la partie imergee. (Principe d'Archimede)

I was never good at "par coeur", actually I was horrible at it. Thank God my school was one of the better ones..I'm not sure why I never forgot that damn thing....about the only thing I memorized that stick.

The funny thing about this is when you think back of some stupid stuff they had you memorize:

Here is one Boisrond Tonnerre
"Un premier boulet lui enleve son chapeau, en avant en avant, un deuxieme boulet lui renverse son cheval, en avant en avant"

I left Haiti at about 8 or 9 years old. i'd completed Elementaire 2. When I came to the states, my teachers were amazed that I could write in cursive AND I knew my times table up to 12...Good ole Haitian memorization system

Anyways, I still remember:

La terre est rond comme une boule, elle a 40.000 kilometres de tous (or something like that ).

Le roi Ferdinand et la reine Isabelle recu Christophe Colomb avec la plus grande joie et la plus grande honneur (or close to it)

L'alphabet francais est le something something something something pour parler et ecrire correctement le francais

La geographie est le something something something...ok,, I forget this one...someone help me...Gosh I loved school in Haiti!

my favorite:

j'ai= j apostrophe a-i
tu as- A-S
Il a- Sans accent
nous avons- A-v-o-n-s
Vous avez- A-V-E-Z
Ils ont- O-n-t

I would cry if I was not premier...My aunt would send my report cards to my mom and dad in the states who would in turn send me the hottest ish from the states In fact, I still remember my greatest competitor in school. His name was Arnold Princeton...If ur out there man, wut up!
