... LIKE TEARS IN THE RAIN.

'Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.' Sorry, bloggers, about the sad title and these cryptic words. I'm sure you remember Nexus 6's last words. Now we're going a step further in our debate on robot ethics: What do you think about replicant's 'forced retirement'? Considering these robots are not designed under Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, do you find it fair to apply them this 'four year life span' device for human protection?

And this is for BAT-2 students: as agreed in our last meeting, state your opinion briefly and list a minimum of three arguments supporting it.

REMEMBER MOHAMED?

I've been recently emailed an interesting school newsletter written by our intrepid reporter Cristina Ivanova. I wanted to share it with you because I think that a lot of you keep good memories of Mohamed and his sister Fatima. Enjoy!


Hello, everybody!

I’m Cristina, a reporter at the IES Constanti. I’m explaining you about one boy who cames from Marocco. He had been working and learning very hard and he finished the school very well. His name is Mohamed.

Mohamed came the last cours for the ESO-the forth. He had never learnt Catlan and Spanish, but he has learnt a lot and he was the only boy who finished the Batxillerat. He has known what he wants, and when one person knows what he wants, he can do everything.

This boy from Marocco is one example for all the students who know Catalan and Spanish and who didn`t know these languages.The question is to know what you want and if you work hard, you can make everything,because everyone can!
