Really, keep giving them this water!


Today started early! My first class begins at 7:45 which i know is not early to most of you, but for the girl who works with university students and is up late usually, this is early. Out of my 6 classes today only 2 were annoying. This is a fairly big improvement from last week. One of the classes was my fault for not having a lesson which suited the class so i will not judge them until next week. The other is well... i guess there has to be one of those classes in a semester. Kind of like there is always "that guy" in the class.
So i'm sure many of you are wandering how Hungarian High School is different from American High School. The answer, vastly different. Some example:
- the teacher change classes when the bell rings not the students
- students are supposed to stand when the teacher enters the room
-they do not have a set lunch time or for that thought a planed out lunch system. there is a bufe to get junk food and a place to get a hot meal if you would like to buy it but only if you have a free period, other than that they occasionally eat in class
- they do not call you by your last name, but the english equivalent to "teacher lady."
-To my knowledge there is not much of a disciplinary system, though i did see a kid cry today with who i think is the principle (we haven't actually meet).
- grades are both subjective and objective meaning when a kid annoys me i can give him a bad grade. (this i am a fan of and already have one in mind)
-there is no toilet paper in any of the bathrooms, you have to bring your own.
-the only accessories in the classroom are chairs desks and a chalkboard.
-the students are with the same classmates all day long.

i'm sure that there are many more, but here is a couple just to get your mind thinking. As for now, i'm glad that I do not have classes on Friday!
