Romanian blogger expelled from school!
Damn! I´m not supposed to blog anymore today. We have a big meeting here at Supercool Headquarters ( my small room) and working all day long on fixing some bugs for Supercool School´s website.
But then, for whom do we build this special kind of school? For kids like Ariel.
"Ariel Constantinof. He is 16 and he is a blogger. He lives in Romania and learns at the Lauder Reut Educational Complex. It would be more appropriate to say: he used to learn at this school (high school), before being expelled for… blogging!" Read the whole story here.
Please support Ariel. I think this is ridiculous - what kind of nonsense lesson do they try to teach him in his school? How to obey? It makes me so angry!
But we can help - support him by digging Ariel's story , posting a comment on his blog and spreading the word.
Writing a small post entry is the least I can do. I hope it helps - Ariel, I wishya much power! You´ll do fine son - the right people are on your side :)
Mihaela made me aware of Ariel ( I told ya she´s supercool) AND awarded me the thinking blogger award. Thankx! I’m honored and proud. Now, I have to give them to 5 bloggers who make me think so here you go...
- Steve for blogging about changing our thoughts
- Andy for helping me rethink blogging
- Lorelle for being Lorelle
- hj for being an advocate of free and open knowledge
- Ugotrade for writing such beautiful stories about technology in new environments
- Charan "CA" Atreya for making me think about "thinking"
- Florence Meichel for fighting for a better future in education
Well, I am not sure if I´m cheating but what can I say - I am not good at math ;) So now you guyz have to think about blogs who make you think and award them with the thinking blogger award.
Much power to you!

That has GOT to be one of the most rediculous things i've EVER heard! A kid tossed out of school for blogging, there MUST be something that we don't know..

Hey Riply,
I agree. If you read the whole story on Mihaelas Blog you´ll see that this kid only wrote about ordinary things that happended at school without names etc.
A classmate who fell asleep and other stuff like that.
I don´t speak Romanian so I have to trust what other Romanian bloggers are saying about this kid.
And I trust them.
If I rember back to my principals in school I can imagine them doing such a stupid thing out of not knowing better.
Hopefully this kid can return back to school soon.
Much power to you!
