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!

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.

Here you can see a schema where we took notes during the conference about the questions we had previously shared on the forum of the Twinspace

Safer Internet Day and Netiquette

 In February and March we dealt with online safety because we commemorated the "Safer Internet Day" and we were divided into 5 different collaborative groups which created different presentations about 5 different topics related to Internet.

The five topics were:

At the end of this activity we created a common questionnaire where each school added some questions to ask their pairs and then all the students answered them. We will publish the results soon in a common article.

We also created a common infographic about the netiquette which we all must respect in this project and online: All the students added some tips.

The italian students also created a video set in their school where they invented a plot of a story about cyberbullying.

Here you can have a look at it.! Enjoy!!!
