Albanian tradition and school

I love Peace

Today I was thinking how is possible that Albanians especially Albanians from Kosovo which are separated from Albania territory long time ago, and then never was free, how become this people survived all the wars, all invitations by saving his own identity?There is just one explanation how Kosovo could survive all this years when this place was occupied from different enemies, how this people survived and saved own language, culture, tradition, his own way to live, how this people has survived the assimilation and a genocide that a lot of enemies done.
And I found out that there are two important things that made this people to don’t conquer and always be proud are: TRADITION and EDUCATION (school).
Why Tradition?
Because long time ago there was no law rules for society of Kosovo, the Albanians decisions was based on “Lek Dukagjini’s” canon. And by the time, by applying this canon the Albanian peoples started to live on the way how on canon was written and this way of live that you cannot find on the other countries become tradition which Albanians was shamed to break or don't respect it. For example: Albanians used to live together on one home lot of peoples and there was the reeve that gives orders for all decisions on house. This was the only way to survive the bad economic situation on the Balkan and especially in Kosovo. Just imagine what could happened if the peoples on that time to be separated. The Albanians would had just two ways to survive economicaly that situation: to go outside Kosovo (like lot of Albanians) or to accept Serbia’s occupation and start working like Serbian citizen by talking serbian languege on their home and married serbians.

Another tradition of Albanian was that Albanian girls and boys was not allowed to be married with other nationals peoples accept Albanians, this was especially for girls rigorously restricted to married other nationality within Yugoslavia accept Albanians boys, and in this way the Albanians has saved their identity and family tradition with all Albanian things including: language, culture, respect that is very interested on Albanians family how the little child need to respect elder brothers and sisters, or the way that you wait the guests on house.
One thing that now is negative on Albanian tradition is vengeance.
If somebody has killed one Albanian male (there was not in Albanian tradition to kill women or childs), someone of his family will be killed and in this way the vengeance was closed. This is a bad thing for now because we have a law rules but long time ago there was no law and the only way to stop killings was the way that was written on canon of Lek Dukagjini’s that if you kill someone you or someone from your family will be killed.

Second thing that makes Albanians to survive all this years under the occupations was Education. First the Albanians were divided because of religion. We are people with different doctrine and this was the reason why our people were spiritually divided. But, when the Ottoman Empire started to force Albanians to learn and talk in Turkish language, when they insisted them to go in mosque not to go in school, Albanians understood the importance of the school and in all bad times, in all occupations they didn’t stopped sending their children’s in school to learn them their language and their history.
Kosovo historically knows that all enemies first thing that they tried to do when they ocupied this place was to close schools but they newer had success because our teachers always worked even without pay, even if they was tortured materially and Physically they continued working just to keep the schools open.

And today as you know our teachers have one month that are not going on their workplaces and are in strike because they are trying to have better paid and I think that our teachers really needs more respect from our institutions because 6 years after the war ended for them was no changes on their salary and their living conditions are very bad. Its obvious that our government has a lot to do on this time because of status but I think that they need to find any solution or if there is not any they need to tell them that after status solution(on 2006)they will change something on teachers good.
We really miss you teachers so please this year let Kosovo determine status and after that there will be no more excuses for your situations. Please come back in school when we are waiting.
