We may hear news that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and mysterious life forms have been discovered around the world, but one in three children in the UK seems to believe that "the teacher is an alien" is.

Episodes that feel such dreams are like UK indeed, but have children who think that teacher is an alien have been watching the teacher with skeptical eyes for a long time?

According to these articles, I asked children in the UK about 5 to 16 years old about the alien, one in three believes that "the teacher is an alien", three in four are " It seems that I understood that a small green monster is somewhere in the universe. In addition, 72% of children who answered alien "s character as" friendly ", there seems to be little sense of crisis that aliens may conquer the earth.

Regarding this result, Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus commented, "Since aliens are a topic that can be picked up frequently in children's books, movies, TV programs, it is no wonder that such results will result" .

On the other hand, when we tested whether 16 years old children can answer all the names of planets in the solar system, 90% can not answer and we also point out that the academic ability decline stands out .

Because it is a questionnaire targeting a wide range from 5 to 16 years old, it is worrisome about where the teacher believes to be an alien, but as expected it is 16 years old It seems there is no such thing as a boys and girls thinking the teacher is an alien.
