I think the author wrote schools around the world to inform us about different schools around the world. In the story, the author said that some schools wear uniforms and some dont. In the story the author also said some schools look different from each other because of the recourses in their community. Lastly, In the story the author said all around the world children go to school. Some spend most of their day at school. Others spend only a few hours.This shows that the author want us to learn about all kinds of schools around the world.This reminds me of when I looked up schools in nigeria,Just like the children in the story looked up their own culture.
