Real 😅.

Nah, ChatGPT sucks. It's not been trained on this kind of data. I'm not gonna lie, I go through an existential crisis every time I study mother tongue. Last year and this year too.😂 This also owes to the fact I become the laziest person on earth when it comes studying this thing. This time however, it is critical and I need to be clinical. The last dance and I will not even come near this thing ever again.

ChatGPT bilan Ona tili dan test ishlayapiz🗿😄. It's doing a better job than I expected )

Watched two lessons from Ibrat Academy. Very interesting language and very similar to English as both of them come from Germanic languages family. es ist gut.

Ich bin Student. What's the meaning and what language is this?

It’s not about who is first or who is second. It’s about people in power acting unfairly. Can’t let them get away with it

But why? They say out of respect to Mr.Bekzod and all the work he has done for the IELTS community. I agree with this part, and I said it publicly once: he deserves a lot of respect, mine included. But does it mean my contribution is less? What if I impacted and changed more lives than him? (Not saying I did) This is a slippery slope (a dangerous situation/claim). That's why it is foolish to make a video comparing 2 teachers. And that's why I asked for its removal. I DON'T need a correction video. I need those 2 videos gone. I need justice. Alisher Sadullaev and IDP can serve justice by (1) taking down the video and (2) making an apology message. Is an apology message necessary? Yes, we cannot trust our leaders if they are not willing to accept their faults and seek forgiveness, just as we turn to God for repentance as an admission of our sins. Without an apology, they grow a thick skin and become more likely to act immoral again. I cannot do it alone. I need your help. You can see with your eyes what they did is wrong. If you ignore it while having power and choice to change it, you become part of this lie. Here's what we can do. 1. Repost these messages as much as we can 2. Boycott IDP (I officially ended our partnership) These messages might get me in trouble, but I know I will get in much bigger trouble if I betray my values. Choice is ours. Choice is yours. I choose to act.

This is fundamentally wrong. Alisher Sadullaev is a public servant (his pay comes from taxes paid by us, the people) who should ensure fairness and justice as well as inspiring and helping the Uzbek youth. But he is willingly engaging in an unfair act and misinforming his constituents (the public, us). Given his social media reach (1.8 mln views on that single video as I'm writing these posts), he has a social, and more importantly, moral obligation to act in a fair and responsible manner. In the meantime, IDP released a "correction" video. You can watch it above. It doesn't correct anything. It makes the video even worse. All niners, except the first 2, are ranked based on the date when they took the test, not when their results came out. With the first 2, however, they show the date when the results were released, again to twist the facts. This is a coordinated misinformation campaign (joint action) by Alisher Sadullaev and IDP to hide the truth.

Is this what someone "angry" or "arrogant" sounds like? I'd like to think I'm being very reasonable here

The part about "Alisher Sadullaev thinking Mr.Bekzod being 1st because he was on the news" is stupid when the video (they made) clearly shows my date before his. Can there be an excuse dumber than this?

Thinking IDP representatives might've communicated my message wrong, I asked for an online call with Alisher Sadullaev and IDP head (Akmal Akhror or Umidjon Ishmukhamedov) to talk things over and solve the issue peacefully. I'd assume Alisher Sadullaev would say no to a call because he might be too busy. But he chose not to talk because he mistook my intention to ensure fairness for arrogance.

Too much to process? Let me give you some more context and explain things in more detail. When the video was released, I told my friend Alisher (old friend, not the public official) we had to do something about it. His reaction was "you never cared about being called second. In fact, you said in the past (on a podcast) Mr.Bekzod deserves the "first" niner title more than you". He was right. I never did because before it was simply an opinion. But now Alisher Sadullaev, the Youth Agency, and IDP, are trying to pass it as a fact. The problem here is that these are verified, trusted sources, who people rely on to make important decisions. I reached out to our then partner (not anymore) IDP to take down the video. They said their role in this video was only to provide the list of niners, which actually shows me as the first niner (a private exchange with IDP's Akmal Akhror). They said they talked to the agency and they said no to removing the video. I also asked to issue a public apology message for spreading wrong information and make a correction video. As you can imagine, the answer was again no.

The video has a good chance of being used as a marketing tool by the supposedly "first" niner to make millions of dollars annually. Yes, not thousands, but millions. If only you knew how much money big schools in Tashkent are making with their "Niner" campaigns, which raises the question of "whether Alisher Sadullaev and IDP did what they did to share in the profit” Even if they didn’t, Alisher Sadullaev - a public servant - is knowingly engaging in the spread of misleading information, which can influence the decisions of many parents and students (millions of people based on the video view count).
