Connection: Class and the World

So what better thing to connect the class to than the world. Well to be perfectly honest, the world is nothing like our class. Our class is sheltered. We raise our hands to make a point. We don't attack the person, we attack the idea. My favorite is that we have a cirriculum. Now, I'm not saying that the class is bad, and i'm not trying to be mean, but we do have to realize that high school isn't the world. Even college isn't the world. The world is not sheltered and we don't have a set thing to strive for; no cirriculum. And with that being said, our class is totally connected to the world.

I am one country. I am sheltered in a class like I am sheltered by the UN. The person who sits next to me in class can either be out to get me or my friend, and they could even be both. You, the teacher, are the sun. The sun tells us what to do. Not exactly directly, but in more ways than you would think. You tell us what to wear on hot days, when I should stop driving with no lights and more. As the teacher you tell us what to do for homework, and can predict what we do next. The class is a mini world. I wish I had better insights on it all, but what can I say? Not every country can be the United States.
