Paragraph 3 is interesting.

This is an interesting situation especially in classrooms where the least likely to succeed are sitting. Usually playing with their mobile phones, reading the newspapers, and doing everything but participating in the lesson.

I am not concerned about head scarves, turbans or if male students come to class wearing only a jock strap and the females come wearing only a thong and pasties. I am really concerned about order in the classroom after such a ridiculous rule is passed by the ministry of education. Totally ridiculous.

Hehe, I know the vowel is different, but it's funny how the education body of Turkey kind of reads like 'yok' ('nothing', 'no' 'to not have/be').
