la terre est ronde. Il est 00:30 and mon nez caresse mon clavier parce que je suis en train de m'endormir.


Either we slave away or we saw logs.

The earth is round. It's 00:30 a.m and my nose is nuzzling my keyboard because I'm falling asleep.

2. La terre est ronde?
C'est vrai ça? C'est pas la science qu'on m'a appris à l'école americaine ;)

3. Je vais te raconter une anecdote / I'm going to tell you an anecdote
Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 08:27 PM by BonjourUSA
Entre 1980 et 1983, j'ai dispensé des cours d'alphabétisation aux immigrés (algériens, marocains, sénégalais, maliens...). Pour rendre ces cours plus vivants, nous prenions des thèmes de la vie courantes comme base de discussion pour les faire parler et écrire.

Nous avions donc choisi parmi ces thèmes d'expliquer comment se produisaient les saisons. Cela est facile avec un ballon et une torche électrique pour simuler le soleil. J'avais à peine commencé la démonstration qu'ils commencèrent à sortir de la salle. Je me suis retrouvé au bout de quelques minutes qu'avec 4 ou 5 personnes.

Je leur ai donc demandé pourquoi ils avaient ce genre de comportement. Ils m'ont répondu que ce que je disais était contre le coran. Que la terre ne tournait pas autour du soleil puisque Allah l'avait dit.

Il s'agissait d'immigrés de la première génération. Cette situation ne se produirait plus avec leurs enfants nés en France. Mais cela est quand même triste et effrayant en même temps.

I'm going to tell you an anecdote

Between 1980 and 1983, I gave courses of elimination of illiteracy to the immigrants (Algerian, Moroccan, Senegalese, Malians...). To make these courses more animated, we chose topics of the life like bases of discussion for helping them to speak and write.

We had chosen among these topics the explaination of the seasons. That is easy with a balloon and a flashlight to simulate the sun. I had hardly begun this demonstration they started to leave the room. I found myself a few minutes later only with 4 or 5 people.

I thus asked them why they had this kind of behavior. They answered me what I said was against the coran. The earth did not turn around the sun since Allah had said it.

They were immigrants of the first generation. This situation wouldn't happen any more with their children born in France. But that is nevertheless sad and scary in the same time.
