School

My seat is to the left of the 2nd desk

The Blackboard! I was there early so there was no work written there

The back wall where they project movies and videos. The massive fan, seriously we will need it in summer!

Was finally able to get some photos today, they are from my little Argentina phone so they might not be very good quality! 

Observations

-Public vs Private schools is discussed a lot! Before coming here I never thought about it. But here they talk about it all the time, in historia educativa (history of education) they were asking all about primary schools in NZ and did private and public schools have the same privileges etc. Here it seems to be a topic that people are very concerned about!

-I have noticed a lot more work is done in science and maths classes. Here the teacher of a language/history based topic either talks a lot or sets things for the class to read together, often if work is set on the board it is not usually finished or very detailed. This comes down to the teachers I guess, you can definitely tell when there is a strict teacher compared to a lenient teacher!

-On Monday we wrote down a half a page of notes for the whole day! This meant being talked at for the most part of the day. I've figured out now that after a certain amount of listening my brain just decides to turn off! Its quite a weird feeling, I guess I just zone out..
