Career. As the importance of work in children’s and their families’ life had drawn our attention, we asked questions about the same subject when interviewed parents and Elvira. As Elvira emphasises, she thought that most children did not go on to higher education after finishing high school. Therefore their ambition to become vets, solicitors or singers - as they claimed at the second shooting - remains a dream.

There are good pupils and teachers pay particular attention to them. They tend to suggest parents to send their children to higher education but this is only possible if parents are able to provide a financial support for them. This shows that – even if parents are employed – their income is too low to spend it on education. On top of that, according to Elvira Carrio for many families this is not a priority. The fact that only two of the participants’ parents came to watch the projection on the 21 of September shows the lack of interest towards their children’s activity as well as their surfeit.
