School Day 3: Observations

Day 3 in the school consisted primarily of observations. I sat in on various teacher's classes in all different subjects to get a wholesome view of the school. While one might expect many differences, many things were the same. Rambunctious high school students eager to socialize with teachers continually focusing and prodding them to work. The major differences rest primarily in class size and physical environment. The school here I imagine is very different than most schools back home, largely closed in and outdoor cooridors. Also, while the classrooms are probably the same size, they seem smaller in relation to student numbers in each period but larger in regards to openness. There is a lack of clutter in these classrooms, unlike the U.S. which has things stacked in all sorts of places. More to come when I sort out my notes...
