September 23rdWe had a long trip for visiting this schools, but I am really impressed with several things.
The most important for me was art class. I can not believe that material are provided by the school!! In Chile each, almost all students have to buy their own things. Probably in some private school materials are provided, but I would like to know which one.
Another think that called my atenttion was the amount of student per class. It makes everything much more easier. To work with 40 or 45 students for 8 hours or more is VERY difficult, tiring... and probably this make teachers feel frustrated about what they do, because they can be brilliant in creating an activity, but probably some students do not pay atenttion, they do not care, etc. We have to consider that English in Chile is one of the less attractive subjects for students.
Finally, everybody look happy. Students look motivated, they work in class, there are materials (books, animals, paint, computers in classrooms, etc) and teachers seem to use every resource that they have at school... That is very important, and very good for the students.
But my question is... How do parents participate in this process of school? In the reality of US, are they committed with their children's education?
