I would find it very frustrating as well if i had just started teaching and none of the girls were getting what I was teaching. However, instead of just teaching the stuff I had to teach over and over again the same way I would have come up with a new and different way to approach teaching it.
I would also have been very hurt going to the women's prisons in Kabul. The way the women are treated there is horrible. I think it is very wrong for them to be treated this way especially because a lot of the so called crimes they were said to have committed cannot even really be called crimes in my opinion. A women leaving her abusive husband would most likely be saving her life in some cases and I think it is wrong that they get thrown into jail for that. The men over there really need to lose their huge egos and realize they are in the 21st century and women are equal to them.
I think that the way Miss Debbie's marriage was arranged was the way that all arranged marriages should. She actually got to meet the man before any of the arrangements were made and they got to go on group dates. If all the people in Kabul would do this a lot of the marriages over there would a lot happier and most likely save a lot of women from going to the nasty womens prisons. It also confuses me that the parents say they love their children and everything yet they marry them off for money so how can they say they actually love when they would easily choose money and gifts over them?
I love how for every get together or party the women in Kabul go to like the graduation of the first class at the beauty school all the women got so dressed up and put on all that makeup yet no one can even see it. Like what is the point in wasting the time and money in supplies to put it on when its not even seen?

Teachers often repeat themselves in their sleep. It comes with the job. Not all kids listen the first time. :-)
I agree with your sentiment of how the men mistreat their women. It is terrible and I'm glad we invaded this country to set up a working system where women have to be treated more fairly. Arabic men can really over react in Afghanistan, and treat their women like dogs.
I think the putting on of make-up while wearing a veil is a sort of irony the author is trying to get at? It's like having a beauty school in Kabul, when nobody will ever be able to see their pretty faces in public.
What's the point?
