Punk Teacher

Adamantios Korais is one of our "Nation's Teachers" (something like the founding fathers of our education system). We meet him in front of Athens University. On his head is a sample of slight vandalism: A long tuft of grass to make him look like a punk. Sometimes those vandals have humour, albeit impertinent.

i think its a result of the students protest against the governemnts plans for university changes.

Greek students (including me :) ) can always express themselves with a creative and meaningful way...
