school experiences

1.       How do you feel about your teachers? What was your relationship with them?

I always enjoyed school growing up and had pretty good relationships with my teachers. I always asked them for help when I needed it and made sure that I understood everything before taking tests. Most of my teachers were pretty open and friendly so it was not an uncomfortable relationship.

2.       How does your school and teachers compare to other schools in the U.S.?

I don’t know about a lot of schools in the U.S but I have had friends tell me that they don’t like class and they didn’t like their teachers which is very different from what I am used to . I think if anything my school was more supportive of it’s students then most schools because most of the students had good relationships with the teachers and the teachers were always willing to help us out.

3.       How does it compare to schools and teachers in other countries?

Well after doing some readings it seems like the U.S has a different way of going about education then some other countries. I remember reading that in Russia the teacher and student relationship was supposed to be strict but I also think it depends on the school ad area in general not just the country.

4.       Would you like to attend school (or have your children attend school) in another country?

I did a study abroad in Spain for a summer and enjoyed going to school there very much! I would like to try the school experience in an Asian country to get a different experience. I think it is interesting how different countries go about schooling.
