Schools here (in Murcia )
and there (in Boston
 |
| Monteagudo School (Murcia) |
 |
| J. D. Runkle School (Brookline-Boston) |
- Monteagudo is a private school and John D. Runkle (the school I went to when I was
in Boston
- In Runkle, classes started at 8:00
AM and they finished at 2:20 PM and, in Monteagudo, they start at 9:00 AM and they finish
at 5:00 PM.
- We have
some different subjects: In Monteagudo, we have R.D.C. and mass and there, in Runkle, we learnt to play instruments
and worked with computers.
- In Monteagudo, we have a private playground and, in Runkle, we played at a public
playground very close to the school and, in winter, if there was snow there and
you didn´t wear snow-pants and boots, you couldn´t go out to play.
- In Monteagudo, during the summer
time, at PE (Physical Education) class, we can swim in the outdoor pool;
however, in Runkle, at PE
we do some exercises and games, and that was all.
- In Runkle, to keep our belongings,
we had lockers.

- Here, we are 30 kids per classroom and one teacher.
There, we were 20 kids per classroom and three teachers. One of them, during
the last twenty minutes of the class, read to us.
- Here we
wear uniforms and, there, we didn´t wear them.
- In Monteagudo, we have lots of
homework and in Runkle we only had one sheet of maths (front
and back) and during the weekends and holidays teachers didn’t want us to do
homework, instead, they preferred us to play, rest and read. However, this
happened while I was in third and fourth grade and probably this might have
changed in sixth grade.
But
there are also some similarities between Monteagudo and Runkle:
-
During the lunch time, we can choose to eat: the meals that are cooked at
school or the ones cooked at home (and we carry them in lunch boxes).
-
Some subjects are the same, for example: maths; art and sciences.
-
We also have time to read in both schools every day.
Finally, I
can say that I was so happy there as I am here!
