Here again, you keep comparing apples with oranges.

Haiti is NOT United States, or Canada, or France, etc..

I am very well aware that US doesn't really have a national curricular (sort of speak), each state has their own and even each school seems to have their own. I have attended many different colleges and Universities in New State alone and each has its own curricular.

But we are talking about Haiti.

Haiti does have a national curriculum regardless who wrote it. If we don't like it we have the right to presure the government to change.

We, Haitians, living aborad and who have attended colleges and universities abroad keep making that same mistake over and over again.

We want so badly to change Haiti by forcing her to adopt other countries culture, system, way of life, and way of doing things.

We seem to think that unless Haitians start thinking like Americans, living like Americans, having an American system like, and talking like Americans then Haiti is doomed for eternity.

And this is where I think we have no respect for the culture, for the people, and everthing else Haiti stands for. We have got to walk away from this mind set and do thing the Haitian way according to the culture, the mentality, the sytem and our way of life.

Each country operates and do things differently within the context of their culture.

Just because something works perfectly well in the United States doesn't mean it will work well in France or in Japan and vice versa.

Again, if we are not happy with certain things we can then presure the government to change them.

I think this is another reason for the state of our country, we try to hard to adopt other countrie culture, system, mentality and way of life.
