Ordinary schools versus modern schools. They walked from one planet to another, looking for the ideal one. Determined prospectors had to cross numerous borders and have their visas stamped by immigration officials such as Puritans, Evangelicals, Horace Mann and John Dewey. Some planets had unfavorable conditions that made them feel as if life was such a misery. There was some hope in Horace Mann's planet, but the zealous explorers wanted to know what the next planet had to offer. Their experience so far has created an increasingly green thinking model. They eventually arrived on Earth, a relatively small planet with attractive features such as gravity that made them move freely. It was such a sad discovery that he had the chance to communicate with Shayang, his great-grandmother. Their conversations revolved around the most unifying factor between the two which was education. It was clear that Zora strongly disapproved of some of the debates about common schools, sharply asking Shayang: “Why should they insist on using religion to teach morals?” religious differences between Catholics and Protestants. Each region wanted its children to adhere to its own practices and felt that common schooling threatened the children's religious background. To solve this problem, they argued that each of the sect's members should be given their own financial share to run their own schools. They thought that children's morals would not be respected in common schools. Zora never stopped thinking about the meaning of morality because according to her, morality is not necessarily acquired through religion. However, he believes that the mainstream schools were more interested in education for all than the modern schools he attends, especially when it comes to enforcing rules and regulations. These schools do not receive unilateral decisions on policy implementation. Each body that finances them gives their own commands to follow. Thus, the federal government, state, school boards, and district superintendents exert their demands on schools. Zora would like all these control units to focus only on one goal: improving public schools. TearsHis response is what older, life-experienced people would naturally say; it's all good, life is not just about education. Zoral knows well that on his planet education greatly determines a person's lifestyle and as far as he is concerned he has acquired a poor education. The blame game is what follows in Zora's conversation with her grandmother. It begins by blaming teachers who showed no commitment to their work as soon as they received their tenure. “Why can't they be fired?” Shayng asks surprisingly. “The teachers union protects them!” Zora replies. Shayang is the kind of person who believes in alternatives and didn't hesitate to ask Zora if there wasn't another way she could get a better education despite their poverty. The question wreaked havoc in Zora's mind, recalling the fateful day she missed out on applying to Charter Schools because the lottery didn't pick her name. She would have liked to live in the Little Hill neighborhood, where there were good teachers and well-behaved students, but unfortunately only the children of Little Hill residents were allowed to go to school. Each level of education increased Zora's frustration. Constant multiple-choice exams were not enough to improve his intelligence. According to Shayang, education is an evolving entity. As a former student of the school, she remembers
