You can infer a lot about what someone is thinking through the person's body language.
(For example: somebody giving you the finger certainly isn't thinking anything good about you)
But sometimes, they explicitly tell you. (Example: I love you)
But on the rare occasion, you let something slip randomly and unwillingly and it can be embarrassing. For instance, in Spanish class:
Teacher: ¿Que hacen los toros?
Student: ¡TestÃculos!

CSL = North Korea now?!
Some people compare CSL to prison.
But IB teaches us to do much better than that.
When students pull off an A doing a presentation about the similarities between CSL and Democratic People's Republic of Korea (yes, that is the actual official name of NK), you know some exaggeration was involved, but also some epic link-making worthy of the most bullshit-filled IB report ever.
When everybody, even the teacher, cramps up at the comparison between dictator and teacher, press censorship and language censorship, poor living conditions and poor school facilities & food, you know we've reached a previously unattained level of selfpity.
But all in all, the camaraderie is impressive. Mutual support keeps us going. Lots of hope rocks help too. Let us hope the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will one day deserve its name. [<-------What a IB style conclusion eh?]
