What school do you prefer?

As last blog entry I have decided to make a comparison between two schools in my neighborhood. They are two completly different schools and they are one in front of the other, They are just separated by a small park.

First, let´s talk about "Our sacred family". Its name suggests we are talking about a religion school. Most of children who attend this school come from families with money and a minority composition from working class.

       This school is well known in the neighborhood. As it is private, in the street people belive that their children´s education would be better.

       On the other hand, there are people who think that due to it is a private school the headteacher chooses teachers according to his criterion and they may not be qualified to teach their children.








Related with the symbols in this school there is not a single class without a cross as a religious symbol. The advantage of this school is that there isn´t gender gap but the only requirement is wearing the uniform. We could take this as another external sign.




The headmaster of this school in villaverde came up with the idea of a trial experiment to see if single-sex classes would improve the overfall permance of boys. This experiment has not yet been in practice but it´s an
interesting project for the future.



After his explanation, now we can talk about the other school. This one is called "City of angels". It´s a public school made up in the middle of the largest part of villaverde because It´s free. The biggest problem of this school is fame because everyone knows that this is a conflictive neigborhood. It´s a public school and there are rumors that most negligent parents take their children to this school.



                                                                                                    
In my opinion, I think that all this things are legends because I´ve been to this school and I´m now writing a blog in the university. Maybe wasn´t all as bad as people think.
