A tradition is a special ritual shared by a group of people. Families and groups of friends practice traditions throughout the year. These traditions might have to do with holidays, celebrations, food, the season, or quirky family practices that have been passed down from generation to generation. Describe at least one tradition that you share with your family or friends.

Dear American and Moroccan students,

Mrs. Henske and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Morocco and, in particular, our visits to schools there. I have posted some photos of classes at MRH, Ibn Khaldoun, and Mohammed VI here -- enjoy!

In a comment to this post, please tell us more about your school. What's a typical day like? What sort of schedule do you have? What subjects do you study? What academic subjects do you prefer? What extra-curricular activities do you participate in? What do you think works well about your school, and what do you think could be improved?

WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS? Youth For Human Rights Video

 "Every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called “human rights” rather than a privilege (which can be taken away at someone’s whim).

They are “rights” because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.

Many people know something about their rights. Generally they know they have the right to food and a safe place to stay. They know they have a right to be paid for the work they do. But there are many other rights.

When human rights are not well known by people, abuses such as discrimination, intolerance, injustice, oppression and slavery can arise."
