My class on strike!

Thursday, 15 November 2007. When I got into the classroom, I had the impression I got into the wrong room. It was completely empty. No students anywhere! Suddenly, I heard some voices coming from the hall. Unbelievable! They were all sitting on the ground demonstrating against the "Pla de Bolònia". They are fourteen going to fifteen and my question is: Were they really interested in it or was it a way of missing classes? After a 15-minute speech made by the headmistress of the centre, the concentration was dismissed and they came back to their classrooms, protesting of course! My tutor carried on with the lesson they were dealing with but there was not enough time to finish all the tasks prepared for that day. Actually, they achieved their intention: missing a wonderful time. The pity is that they do not realise time is running against them.
