Teacher Answer: Description of teaching situation in chilean classrooms

I created 2 different questions for a teacher in Chile, and here are the answers. I decided to ask for two different cases. One in which the student is really good at learning English, and one in which the student is really bad.

1.- DESCRIBE YOUR SCHOOL (GENERAL DESCRIPTION), SOCIAL ECONOMICS, HOW MANY STUDENTS SPEAK OTHER LANGUAGES, IS THERE ANY FOREIGN STUDENT? CAN YOU ADD ANY DATA ABOUT THE SCHOOL?

The school is located in a small town, dedicated mostly to agricultural activities. It has excellent facilities (in terms of the construction itself), but it does not have labs with good implements. Each classroom has a TV set, but many of them are not working. The school provides technological support, but it is not enough (there are too many students. Actually each class has an average of 46 students per class).
The students are rather poor though this impresion is not only based on their economical situation (most of the have expensive mp3 or mobiles) but in their cultural background. Most of their parents are not proffessional and have no qualifications at all. Most of their mothers are housewives, and it is known that the biggest influence is played by them. There are mothers who did not attend to school. Not even a single student speak another language. (thouh there are some students who understand pretty well what it is said in english).

2.- DESCRIBE A LEARNER OF ENGLISH IN CLASS, ONE REALLY GOOD AND ONE REALLY BAD... AND WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ARE GOOD OR BAD?

The good one is E.R. (4th grade high school). She likes English. She wants to learn English. She pays attention and has natural skills. That is why she is good, though I also think she manages in a good way her own language and she has trainned her cognitives skills. What do I mean... she is use to think.
A really bad student could be any from 9th grade, so I will mention one: B.B. He has no interest, he does not pay attention during classes. He gets easily distracted (though that is my problem too). But basically I think he has poor results because he does not master her own language and he is not trainned to think. He and his classmates do not understand anything. They need extra support and motivation that we teachers are not able to provide so far.
