I found...

...this interesting text online and I thought it was a good idea for a debate, or an opinion-giving comment!

How about it?

"The factory model of education, with its focus on academic and economic elitism, is churning out obedient workers for the system, encouraged to conform every step of the way. We are not being treated as organic, creative, investigative human beings, but instead as parts in the machine. The education system is filtering out the inquisitive nature of our being, with the ultimate goal being to prevent dissent against the system. The system doesn’t want thinkers. It doesn’t want people to question its methods. It wants a population that can be easily manipulated and controlled so as to relinquish all its power to the elite."

About Love.

by Roberto, 11º CT4

I could never write and express myself about love. Do all those cute and intelligent descriptions that seem so easy to say when actually they aren´t because they always need a good dose of inspiration and above all a good dose of life experience sometimes only poets (but not any poet) can describe, define and feel what love really is because in my opinion not everyone can feel and most importantly enjoy what love gives us.

Love will never equate to death because love is life; love makes us feel alive and happy. I usually say that love is like a beginning with no end unless we don´t want to. Although we can talk about love – it´s not easy but it is possible- it cannot speak for itself. Love is similar to a song because both don´t have a language, they have a soul.

Love is creation not destruction. If love kills, that´s because it wasn´t love of course! It was something ugly, nasty…

Love doesn´t match with dependence in the same way that respect is not similar to obedience. They are very different things and make for different reactions. We belong to anyone. We are together and in touch but we´re n property of other people – everyone calls it freedom!

Love can lead to several consequences: some are good, others are cruel. You can be happy with love but when it becomes a drug and you´re addicted it may end your life physically and socially. Love that ends with your life and makes of you an addict is not true love because this kind of love is immortal. Love is not part of our bodies. It belongs to our soul.

YOU, by RODRIGO OLIVEIRA

When I look at the stars
I see your eyes
You don't know one thing
You are everything


When you say "hello"
I don't know what to say
You are my muse
Please don't go away


I wish you were here
To stay together
You and me
You and me forever

At night in my room
You're still in my head
It's so very true
Oh Baby I love you

I don't know what you want
I don't know what you feel
Dear I love you so
Do you love me?

I wish you were here
To stay together
You and me
You and me forever
