What are a few good vocabulary words for the topic of education?
I am calling a Persian friend tonight to practice my spoken farsi. We decided that we would talk about education.
I already know words like ostad, daneshjoo, yad migiram and daneshga but that is it. Can you give me a few more useful words that I can use in our discussion.
Kheili mamnoonam! you guys are always so helpful! :o)

these word are useful for speaking about your feeling about some classes and your score. for example:

informal: kelasesh vaghean baram khaste konandas behamin khater doos nadaram to kelesesh sherkat konam. tarjih midam ye vahede darsie dige bardaram ke raveshe tadrise ostadesh baram jaleb bashe.
