Positive and negative aspects of school systems

Italy

Written by Flavio A., Alessandro S., Lorenzo S., Ikhlase L., Domenico G., Daniel C.

A positive aspect of our school is the timetable from Monday to Friday from 7.50 to 1.50 p.m. because when lessons finish we have time to do sport, to relax and do homework. 

A system where students are appreciated when they behave positively.

Written by Gregorio U., Gabriele T., Asia M., Angelica P., Sebastiano V.

We think that the IT lab is the best part of our school because it is useful, it is entertaining since all the world is based on technology, but in Italy we have still to deepen our knowledge in this sector. Now we are using “sketch up” which programs in 3D (like Scratch) in a course financed by a resilience national plan which has the aim to help female students to cope better with Technology, Science, Maths, Art.

In the Italian school system they must add more entertaining projects: for example by playing and learning together. If I were a teacher, I would give 20 minutes of relax and play together and then another 20 minutes where you have to repeat the topics and then let the kids play with Wordwall. This way the kids will learn more than normal.

Greece

Written by Dimos Z.

At the Greek educational system we have a lot of holidays. Also, we finish school in early June.

On the other, hand we have a lot of homework and a lot of exams.

SPAIN

Written by Dani, Daniela, Adrián, Veronica and Pablo.

Talking about the educational system in Spain we have to say that there aren't many holidays during the school year.

Students usually stay in the same school from 3 to 16 but also, there are a lot of school in which students finish at the age of 18. Then, they go to universtity. Student use ICT during their classes in order to improve their learning.

Students must study a lot of subjects and do lots of exams and projects, as well.

In mosts schools students start their lessons at 8 o'clock in the morning and finish around 2 pm. During the day they have two breaks. they love playing football, basketball or talking to their friends. 

Green country in the project

We asked each other questions on the forum to introduce ourselves and our schools at the beginning of the project. We created a poll on the question "How do you get to school?". We had the idea to elect the "greenest country". 

 Italy

We are not very green since most of us (9 people out of 11) come to school by car. Sestri Levante is a quite big town near the sea, but we all live far from school and our homes are on the hills surrounding the town. In some cases the school bus doesn't arrive there. Since these areas are not very inhabited the public service of means of transport doesn't operate here very much: there are only 5/6 public busses arriving there during all the day. Italy is not so green, but maybe in the future we hope to do better.

Maybe the areas where you live have better services. 

Spain

In our case we are generally green. Our school is two kilometres from the city center. Most people live in that area. 29 students out of 50 boys and girls get to school on foot everyday. There is a special path so that pupils come complete safely to school. They love walking and talking to their partners on the way to school. Most teacher walk to school as well and it's a fantastic opportunity to talk to them about their hobbies. Only one student out of 50 go to school on bike. Some of them (18 out of 50) come to school by car. They usually live outside our town, 20 or 30 kilometres far away from the school. And finally only two students get to school using public buses.

Spain, step by step, is trying to be a little greener. Let's go ahead!

(Written by Lucía, Macarena, Alejandro, Alfredo and Lola)

Greece

Here, in Greece we usually go to school on foot. Some students live quite far from the school, so they have a number of different ways to go to school like by school bus or by car. The problem with the bus is that you need to wake up really early otherwise you will miss it. Another way is by car where the kids get driven to school by their parents, this way is quite beneficial as kids can wake up whenever they want but it is not always the most practical way, because parents can not always do it. 

Almost all of our teachers go to school by car and many middle aged people use car in our area. Our case here in Greece is quite unique because as we get older we prefer more and more to go to work by car, not even by public transportation.

In my opinion the best way to go to school is on foot. Me and my friends care a lot about the enviroment so even kids who live far away from school would prefer going to school by bike because it is way more environmentally friendly so that  we can live in a better place and become greener step by step!!!

eTwinning live conference

Written by Gregorio U., Sebastiano V., Asia M., Angelica P., Sebastiano V., Flavio A., Daniel C., Lorenzo S., Alessandro S.

 Yesterday, 27th May, we met on the Twinspace at 12 p.m. to discuss about school systems, differences, and finally we sang a song in all the 5 languages of the project: Greek, Spanish, Slovakian, Italian and French. It has been a unique opportunity to know how school works abroad. We took notes about other school systems to compare them and find out what is good in our school system and what we would like to introduce. 

The song that we sang together enhance the differences among countries and multilingualism. We used English to communicate throughout the project but the differences in our mothertongues should be highlighted too and we respect them since we understood that it is the base of being part of a united Europe

Listen to our fantastic song:

Everyone was very excited and we enjoyed this time together.

International Women's Day

Safer Internet Day

 In our school we are celebrating Safer Internet Day and we are talking about cyber bullying and the consequences and implications on teenagers’ minds. Unluckily it is still a too common phenomenon among young people.

We produced a short video and a presentation that we will publish here.

Back to school after Christmas holidays

  Gabriele T.

It’s 8th January and the school is back. 

So I want to tell you how I feel and how my holidays were. The last day of school was the funniest and the most glorious of the whole year, and Christmas too. I got many gifts , such as PS5. 

The five days before the new year were so unforgettable. The last day of the year I celebrated the new one with friends and cousins, and the other days I finished my homework. Today I feel tired and nervous. How were your holidays? Tell me.

Domenico G.

My Christmas holidays were good. My favourite day was New Year’s Eve, that I spent with my friends. At 1 a.m. after dinner we went to Luna park and finally at 3 a.m. I went back home. The next day I and my family went skiing to Trentino and we also visited Trento.

 This morning I was sad because I didn’t want to go to school, but now I’m kinda happy because I can see my friends.

Daniel C.

My Christmas holidays were very fun and I enjoyed myself. On my holidays I played football with my friends and went on a trip to Florence with my family. In Florence there are a lot male statues and most of them are naked, I had an ice cream near the center of the city and it was artificial and you could tell from the look of it. It gave me a stomachache and I had to go to the bathroom twice. When I thought of school and that I needed to go back I felt sad because the fun was ending.

Alessandro S. 

These Christmas holidays were very nice. I spent this time together with my parents, my aunt, my cousin, my brother and my uncle. Returning to school I was happy because I  met again my friends but I was sad because the holidays finished.

Sebastiano V.

I had a great holiday. When I went back to school I was happy because I saw my friends again.

Asia M.

My holidays were relaxing but also challenging. Going back to school wasn’t very exciting. I would have preferred to stay at home a little longer. But if we did this we wouldn’t learn anything, so “strength and courage”.

Flavio A.

My holidays were very nice and enjoyable: surprisingly we had a lot less homework. We went straight to my grandmother’s house and stayed for 3 days. On the 26th we went to Switzerland and stayed till the 6th. While we were there we ate fabulous food and went skiing on wonderful slopes. When I realised that the holidays were going to finish I felt sad because being on holidays is very nice and everybody likes it. 

Lorenzo S.

The Christmas holidays I spent at my grandma’s house were happy. After the dinner I opened the presents and I was very happy for what I got. When I return to school I am sad but I am happy to meet my schoolmates.
