This island seems to be overpopulated. I’ve never seen so many children, and unsupervised at that. I’ve seen more young children wandering around alone in the past week than I’ve ever seen back home. I can’t tell if parents just aren’t as protective as they are back home, or if children just aren’t valued as highly. It seems to be quite the opposite in the schools. Parents come and bring the children a home cooked meal for lunch. Sometimes they even stay and eat with them. They seem very close and caring. They also seem to be very interested in what’s going on at school through this and attending conferences. You’d think their education system would be more valued because of this. The teachers are not trained properly and they don’t have the resources they need. Their jobs aren’t taken as seriously as they are back home.
