- If you wanted to change an ancient culture in a generation, how would you do it? You would change the way it educates its children. The U.S. Government knew this in the 19th century when it forced Native American children into government boarding schools. Today, volunteers build schools in traditional societies around the world, convinced that school is the only way to a 'better' life for indigenous children. But is this true? What really happens when we replace a traditional culture's way of learning and understanding the world with our own? SCHOOLING THE WORLD takes a challenging, sometimes funny, ultimately deeply disturbing look at the effects of modern education on the world's last sustainable indigenous cultures.

- With an area three times larger than Pompeii, Baia, about 15 km from Naples and within the volcanic area of the Phlegraean fields, is the largest underwater archaeological site in the world. In 100 BC Pompeii is an ordinary city of small traders crouched on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius, while Baia gains a peculiar reputation: it gradually becomes the ancient Las Vegas or Monte Carlo of the Roman Empire, a real posh center for noble gens and the powerful . Nestled in the center of the Gulf of Pozzuoli, Baia is flanked on one side by the port of Puteoli (ancient Pozzuoli) and on the other by the port of Capo Miseno. Both of these landings boast enormous prestige, one is the nerve center of Roman trade capable of handling a traffic of over 1,000 ships per year, with the task of supplying the capital with food but also with very precious rarities coming from the exotic east ; at the head of Miseno, on the other hand, allocates the imperial fleet to defend the interests of the entire gulf. Sumptuous buildings, monumental spas and brothels frequented by the rich "holiday makers" appear. Owning a villa here means prestige, a worldly duty. Baia is the most exclusive and renowned holiday resort in the ancient world, the fulcrum of the "dolce vita" of that time. It is no coincidence that emperors such as Caesar, Nero, Marcus Aurelius and Hadrian also decide to fix their imperial mansions there to take refuge from the austere and frenetic life of the capital. No wonder then that just in Pozzuoli an amphitheater was born long before the best known Colosseum in Rome.

While millions around the globe watched on television, thousands of people stood for hours waiting to catch just a brief glimpse of the funeral train and pay their last respects. Led by the George Bush 4141 locomotive, the 13-car train made the 2.5 hour, 70-mile journey from Spring to College Station, Texas, where the former president was laid to rest after a final funeral in Houston.
