China Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 School of rock closed down Angry Beijing education officials have shut down a school set up by villagers inside a cavern because it made China look "like a nation of cavemen." The Getu village Cave Primary School in Guizhou province, southern China, was opened up when local education authorities refused to build a school for the remote mountain community, reports CEN. Therefore, they built their own inside an aircraft hangar-sized cave complete with classrooms and playground. But furious politicians have closed it after pictures of the school were seen around the world, and built a new school nearby for the 186 pupils. Former headmaster Xi Lin Chun said: "It is a shame. Even in the playground we didn't have to worry about the weather as it was always dry." "The acoustics were great. We had the best choir in the area and there were also several rock strata visible on the walls which made teaching geology far more interesting. "And we didn't need books for biology - we had bats and lizards in there all day," he added. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 This has to be tongue in cheek, right? Because it took this to get them a real school? Former headmaster Xi Lin Chun said: "It is a shame.
