A tour around the Earth

Oh! You´re not going to believe what I have to tell you! You can´t imagine how strange life is in the Earth!!!!! I´ve been travelling around this planet during the last two months and I´ve discovered really curious things! Let me tell you some of them so that you can understand what I say.

We realized that in the Earth, the oldest people try to teach the youngest, in terms of scientific knowledge as much as values and rules. This was the point we focused on in our trip, because we watched very interesting aspects. I made lots of photographs so I´m going to show you some!

Look at this picture!! All the children are sitted down while the adult is talking or explained something. I couldn´t understand what he said, obviously. But I´m sure it was interesting, because the students were paying attention without talking between each other and in complete silence. That is unbelievable here! We don´t even know what listen to others mean!
Another surprising aspect we observed was that in some places, all the children were wearing the same clothes. They looked like if they were dressed up for a special occasion or event. It was a bit contradictoy. On one hand, they seem to be equal, without differences between themselves. But on the other hand, it made it difficult to know who they are. Even the teachers have problems in some classes to remind the names of the students.

Actually, you know that it´s really difficult in our planet, to distinguish between the ages of our inhabitants, and we spend the time all together. Well, in Earth, things are completely different. The classes cossisted of one adult, who is the teacher, and a lot of children or pupils of the same age. I´ve never seen little childs with teenagers, for example. And what they learned has also a huge difference.
 If you were thinking that all these aspects were strange enough, you must listen (or read) what I have to tell you now. Clothes and ages are not the only elements taht take part in the classes. There are people of different color skin all together in the same space!!!!!!!! Can you imagine being with "the reds" and "the purples"  or sharing our food with them????? Just impossible!!!
The last incredible aspect we observed was that the students acted as if they had already been taught the rules they have to follow. As we can see in this picture, one child with long hair raise her hand to talk to the teacher, so they can´t talk when they want to, just when the adult allow them to do. That´s the way to achieve the silence, I think! They also use a green big rectangular thing where they can write in. It´s also one of the main tools the teachers used to explain their classes. I think it´s quite useful, because everybody can see what there is writen on it.

In conclusion, although humans are very very very strange, they have achieved good results in their organization and development. They give a lot of importance to the children´s education, so they can build a peaceful future. This shows that rules are important sometimes and that making difference between ourselves doesn´t have any sense.

A little of comprehension is enough...

  1. This is just FANTASTIC...
    I love the way you write and work in general!
    From my point of view, the reflection about the uniforms is the best part. We'll have a hard work on learning student's names! :)
