Day 9

Day 9

"I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world." -Mary Anne Radacher

     We feel like the education system in Belize has many differences than our education system in the states. Some of those differences that we have noticed are, we believe students receive more breaks between content here, we believe it is not as structured. We have also found out that students aren’t given many opportunities to think creatively during writing. All students in Belize are always excited to come to school where in the United States often times only young students are excited to come to schools each and every day.

     We would like to incorporate in our classrooms the many breaks throughout the day, not necessarily going outside after each content lesson. We believe sometimes schools in America can feel like a prison, in Belize students enjoy school and we believe the many breaks prevent that feeling in Belize. Another thing we would like to incorporate in the states is, creating an environment where students and teachers have mutual respect among their peers.
