Monday 10th February,
On my first day in an American high school with my penpal Rayna we studied American sign langage. It was really nice to learn this subject beceause we don’t have this in France. After , we attended in her sport class and we played to the « ladder ball » , it was a little boring for me ! In this sport you have balls with a rope and you need to throw it on little « ladder » and if the ball stays on the floor, you lose points. And if the ball with the rope stay on the ladder you win some points.
From my point of view American schools are so different than french school. They had less students in their class room. And they go to an other room but with different students beceause all of them don’t have the same subjects.
Most of the time ; they were working in teams and they were on their laptops. And during the class sometimes they could eat or use their phone. Sometimes (it depended on their teachers) they could go to the bathroom without permission.
On the one hand i think that sometimes it’s not really « a part of the cake » ! For me, it’s often noisy in their class room ! But on the other hand i appreciated the freedom they had eating during classes !
