The author wrote schools around the world to inform us 
about all types of schools around the world. In the story, it says some children have chores to do in school like keeping the class clean. Also in the story it says some children stay home to learn. It often depends on how far they are from school. This shows that the author is trying to inform children about schools around the world. This reminds me of when I transfered to two different schools just like the schools in the story.
