Today, the naivety of the world was clearly shown by a comment made by a grade 7 student. The child was screaming ‘Free Tibet’ at inappropriate times throughout my lesson.
I then asked the student if he knew where Tibet was. He has no idea and couldn’t even tell me what continent it was on. I found this quite appalling and somewhat frustrating. When I told him to look at the atlas to find Tibet, he asked if he could look at it online. As much as the internet is a valuable pastime, tool and resource, how heavily it is depended it a developing nightmare. What will they believe?
It raises many questions, where to from here?
