The schools are very rigorous in this country and teachers still can hit their students for acting up or not doing their homework.
After school, many students go to a Youth Center to further their language skills. They sometimes go to school for up to 12 hours a day. Often times, the boys play a lot of soccer with their friends, while the girls usually just hang out with friends. Boys and girls oftentimes do not hang out on their own here.
The biggest star in Morocco is Saad Lamjared, a very famous singer. He is like the Drake of Morocco. You can hear his music everywhere!
Kids listen to a lot of American music as well as French and Arabic music. The students that I teach really like K-pop.
My student Omar says that when he grows up, he wants to be a doctor so that he can help out people from his village. The people in rural communities do not have hospitals like the people who live in the city. He wants to become a doctor so that he can help change this.
When I talked with my student Omar, he said that if he could go anywhere in the world, it would be New York City, so that he may go to University there. I told him that California is much better, but he said that he didn't care!
