Back to school

On Tuesday my brother and I started school again. I was kinda happy to be back but mainly because I like my teachers.

The subjects I have here that I don't have in Canada are:

• Spanish
• Technical Drawing (extra classes)
• Home Economics
• Geography
• Caribbean History
• Religious Studies

Everyday at school we have an assembly talking about God (this is a "non-religious" school) this is only supposed  to take 30 minutes but can last up to a hour and a half in +30 degree weather everyday. The assembly starts and ends with praying.

After the assembly we wait 20 + minutes for the teacher to arrive sometimes they don't even come! Sometimes when they come  they just  give work and leave and don't come back until the end of the class (only two teachers stay). Then we pray and it is time to have lunch for an hour. I usually read or draw and the class gets very loud.



Even though it says 3rd I really am 2nd

At the end of the day we pray again and go home. I go get Owen. When I get to him they are usually praying

I have been doing really well at school. I like having different teachers for different subjects.

Here they rank students and it gets put on your report card. So I am number 2 in my class. Yesterday I told Senior Rene that we don't do that in Canada. He was really surprised! I think rating kids is a bad idea because even if you did well you could still come last and it would make you feel badly about what you accomplished instead of feeling proud for trying hard.

I am looking forward to being back to school in Canada with my friends in September.
