SCHOOL LIFE

Hi my name is Padmakanth, I´m 13 years old, and I´m from India, classes in all levels are huge, and on average there are 50 to 70 students in a class. We don´t use chairs, it is not part of our culture and we don´t really mind, teachers stand in front of the class and speak very loudly.

My name is Adam, I’m from Canada. We have to wear a smart uniform at school. Our jackets and ties are blue, and I don’t like them, I look like and old man (it is not cool my old brother is always making fun of me), girls can use trousers or skirts.

I’m Kalilinoe, I´m 20 years old and I´m from Hawaii. We are at school from 7 am to 2 pm. We have a break at 10:30 am for half an hour. We have 1 month holiday at December for Christmas, two weeks at Easter and two months in the summer.
