My short-lived revolutionary teaching years (1969-1975) at the Curepipe College, People's College, and at the Private Rotarian Trinity College in Mauritius as Head of Biology Department.
I also held some out of school functions as President of the Universal Society of Islam, President of the UNESCO Club, President of the Disciplinary Committe, Treasurer, President of the Private Secondary School Teachers' Union and Career Master.

John Taylor Gatto "The Scientific Management of Children"
Beyond Schooling
By Hamza Yusuf & John Taylor Gatto
*NEW* Hamza Yusuf on Education, Philosophy and Science in Our World
by F.R. Scott,
the American schooling system
The routine trickery of the examination baffles these hot and discouraged youths Driven by they know not what external pressure, they pour their hated self-analysis, through the nib of confession, onto the accusatory page
I, who have plotted their immediate downfall, I am entrusted with the divine categories: A, B, C, D, and the hell of F
The parade of prize and the back door of past, in the tight silence, standing by green grass window, watching the fertile earth graduate its sons with more compassion
Not commanding the shape of stem and stamen, bringing the trees to pass by shift of sunlight and increase of rain
For each seed, the whole soil; for the inner life, the environment receptive and contributory
I shudder at the narrow frames of our textbook schools in which we plant our so various seedlings
Each brick-walled barracks, cut into numbered rooms, black boarded, ties the venturing chute to the master's stick
The screw-desk rows of lads and girls, subdued in the shade of an adult, their acid sub-soil, shape the new to the old in the ashen garden
Shall we, shall we open the whole skylight of thought to these tip-toe minds, bring them our frontier worlds and the boundless uplands of art for their field of growth?
Or shall we pass them the chosen poems with the footnotes, ring the bell on their thoughts, period their play, make laws for averages and plans for means, print one history book for a whole province and let 90,000 read page 10 by Tuesday?
As I gather the inadequate paper evidence, I hear across the neat campus lawn the professional mower's drone clipping the inch-high grass.
