Do you know that a lot of school children in Jordan use the very same pencil throughout the whole academic year? They protect it as if it's worth a million bucks, because if they lose it they won't and they can't have any for the wntire year.
I'm not even mentioning books, notebooks, backpacks.....etc
I stole this from Naseem's blog, spread the word

this is good.
Isn't it sad that so much money it being looted from the national treasury by people who claim to be patriotic Jordanians. And the price of this looting is nothing short of the loss of the promise of Jordan that for as long as Jordan existed was fulfilled by its once quality public education system. Fact is Jordanian students would never have to go to schools hungry, without books or pencils or leaking roofs or steaming hot classes or have to pay for bus rides or be taught by incompetent wasta-assigned low-IQ retards if there were less corruption by poeple who are so good at shouting Jordan First and waving the flag. If I were in charge I would outlaw shows of patriotism by government officials who are the defenders of an utterly corrupt and utterly despotic system that is slowly turning taking Jordan back after decades of accomplishments. What do you expect when a country is run by traitors whose loyalty to Jordan is directly related to how much they and their tribes can loot from Jordan.
Dude, sometimes it is good to have only little at your disposal: you start to waste it otherwise. This is definetely the case when it comes to me and pencils ;-)
