Cherokees and their public school

I`m glad to have the opportunity to study  North  American  History. I`m learning a lot about Cherokee people, their lifestyle in the past and now. We visited a public school on their village last  weekend  so we could see some differences between theirs and ours. At first the structure is wonderful counting on huge  buildings with computers, gyms, all kind of stuff to help on learning process. The students can practice sports, set teams and have a lot of fun competitions. We can`t have it   because there is no appropriate squares or basic resources, so our students usually study only the theory of sports. That`s very sad. Second  aspect  about differences is the number of students per class: 20. We have about 45! Last I want to talk is the motivation on these schools. The best students are recognized by everybody and respected. In our culture, on public  schools,  the best students are usually rejected by the others and teachers can`t give special attention to them.

Going back to Cherokees history it has been a great opportunity to know about these people I Knew just a little bit watching the film Dancing with Wolves, with Kevin Costner, rs ( a wonderful film).  I couldn`t imagine that the Cherokee Indians could write using a feather pen made, it was amazing ! I remembered some tribes of our Indians  stuck on the past and living  as wild  nowadays or some  others who were socialized but they have no resources enough to live a good life even with the government help, so many of tribes  are very poor. Cherokees is a great example that Indians can be perfectly socialized in order to have dignity inside their own space and rules.
