How Children Behave In School in Hoobah Boobah Land

You may be wondering what it's like to be a child in Hoobah Boobah Land. Well, you might not like it very much -- that is, if you watch a lot of TV, play video games, and use the computer. Since electricity barely exists, there is only one TV station, only a few hundred TVs in the whole country, and the internet is illegal (did you know this website can not be viewed in Hoobah Boobah Land?), you would be out of luck. However, if you like to ride strange bicycles (see the posting from early May that discusses Hoobah Boobah 'bicycles'), play old-fashioned games, go fishing, or go on rides on the Hoobah Boobah species of buffalo known as a bleegoingaak, then you would love it there. Hoobah Boobah children live the simple life that we led 150 years ago. Their lives have not been changed by technology.

But, strangely, Hoobah Boobah children are very naughty in school. They are constantly giggling and getting distracted. They play tricks on the teacher (I don't even want to say what those are). No matter how strict the rules of school may be, they have no effect on the misbehaving students of Hoobah Boobah Land's schools. The children are always getting detention, but punishment has no effect on their behavior.

Perhaps this is because education is not as important in Hoobah Boobah Land as it should be (see the earlier post on Hoobah Boobah education). Let me just say that I am glad I teach in Brooklyn, NY, not Hoobah Boobah Land!
