Today we had our last day in the UK schools. I am so greatful that I got the experience to be able to visit the schools and compare/contrast them from American schools. Some of the things that are differnt about the UK schools include: they have SMART boards in every classrom, every room has a TA, Kindergarten starts at 4, they only have to go to school until they are 16, they offer vocational training after age 16 for students that do not want to take the academic route after secondary school, the students move up in grades regardless of how bad they are doing academically, they hold assembly every day before school, the students all walk to school, they have an hour fr lunch, etc.
Hope all is well at home... miss you all soo much :)
