Some schoolchildren of countries Asia and South America every day you have to do the most difficult way from home to the place of study and back. The adventures they encounter along the way could well form the basis of an action-packed movie.
For example, the way to school for children from a Chinese village Genguan halfway through narrow ledges and cramped tunnels carved into the rocks. Some paths are located at the very edge, while their width barely reaches half a meter. It should be noted that the parents of local schoolchildren can still be relatively calm about their children, because on the way to the "temple of knowledge" an instructor looks after them.
In other parts of the world, children boldly make an even more difficult path alone. For example, schoolchildren from an Indonesian village Batu Busuk every day they walk along a rope stretched over the river at a height of 10 meters. This is not the only adventure on their way: after that they have to walk another 14 kilometers through the forest.
On Philippines elementary school students use car tires to cross the river and get to school. Heavy rains and subsequent floods sometimes find children right on their way to their place of study.
Some people from families living right in the jungle Colombia, you have to get to school every day by steel cables located 400 meters above the rumbling river Rio Negro … The length of these cables reaches 800 meters, and sliding along them, children develop speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour.
On Kulturologia.ru there have already been articles describing the difficult living conditions in Asian countries, but the local population does not seem to think of losing heart at all. And young schoolchildren who overcome many kilometers of a dangerous path to get to the place of study is another proof of this.

"Rods - branches from the tree of knowledge": How the greats of this world and the children of commoners were punished in childhood
Until recently, in the social structure of many countries, it was believed that parental love is a strict attitude towards children, and any corporal punishment implied benefits for the child himself.
