From an alien point of view:



Last week, my family and I went on vacation on Earth. I know it’s really strange because aliens usually don't like the Earth, but there we were....

In the Earth everything is really strange, children go to a curious building call ''school"?!?!?!? Here, in our planet we study at home with a personal teacher!
And is not only that, when they arrive there, they sit in chairs with tables and they don't stand up until the teacher says it.
I was so confused that I asked a boy why they do that and he told me that that's what they are supposed to do in school, sit on the chairs and listen what the teacher says.

This was so peculiar to me that I decided to investigate more.
I found that not all the schools are the same, they can be private, , and public, and the buildings are all different.
I also discovered that in some schools children wear uniforms and that, in some places, not all the children can go to school because their parents can't pay it. That shocked me a lot because all the children must have an education.
They also have a thing call "timetable". Students use it to know what class do they have everyday, because all the days are different!
Every month they have to do exams, in these exams the students have to put all they know about the subject they are being exanimate. If you failed all the exams, you can't pass the academic year.

In conclusion, I find really interesting human behaviours' in school and I hope to visit the Earth again very soon.

  1. "I was so confused that I asked a boy why they do that and he told me that that's what they are supposed to do in school, sit on the chairs and listen what the teacher says." This reads very true, but...is that what they're really supposed to do? Good writing.
