A couple of weeks ago six classmates and I went to Italy to study their school system and I also took some time to study the students ordinary schoolday a bit closer. I lived with a boy called Antonio who was 18 years old. He was in his last year of the upper secondary school I.T.C.G. "Mosè Bianchi". Through him I got a good picture of what their ordinary schoolday looked like. The ordinary schoolday in Italy doesn't differ so much from to our own schooldays in Sweden. Now after the visit I feel spoiled, thougt of the big difference of supplies between schools in Sweden and Italy. In ourspare time here at Parkskolan we have the opportunity to sit down by a computer and we also have access to tons of books and magazines in the library, whith most upper secondary school in Italy only can dream about. Here at home we complain that our school, Parkskolan, doesn't look so good from the outside, but after seeing the schools in Italy I have realised that we shouldn't complain.
If an italian student breaks the rules at school, the punishment is mostly to go to the headmaster. The student goes in school about five to six hours a day starting at 08.30 in the morning. The ting that is most different from our schools here in Sweden is that in Italy they don't just go in school Monday to Friday, but also on Saturday. The students mostly have lunch at half past one, and not at eleven o'clock as we do.
