7 hours a day, 5 days a week.
You think your school isn't great, read this. A town in Africa called Malawi. The schools there are a "little" different from your school. Their classrooms have no light exept for the holes carved in the wall. Then the one big problem, the students have NO seats or desks. Even the teacher! Yes, the students have to sit on the bare floor, (legit ground) probably hurting, while trying to listen and learn seven hours a day, five days a week. Well not anymore. The man in the video I watched had somebody make lots of desks and chairs for the children and teachers. It might not have been the most comfy thing to sit on, but it got them off of the floor! The desks and chairs were delievered and the children and teachers don't have to sit on the ground! So the next time you complain on how you want one of those big poofy chairs instead of your hard metal one, remember some kids at schools don't even have chairs. Only the ground. Do you think getting chilren something to sit on besides the floor, is important?
