Is more better?
More chocolate is better. More time is better.
But more bills is bad. More snow can be bad unless you like to snow ski.
Today is our first day of Service-Learning! This session we'll have four instructors and maybe about 50 students all together! wow.....We have many more people than any other session so far.
How will we be able to work together? Will we all get along?
But wait......
More people means more relationships, more service, more new friends, and more learning.
I like more!

Maria Martins

1/16/2013 10:35:23 pm

As my country, Brazil, USA is a melting pot. Learning by interacting to different cultures is the most effective way of getting knowledge.The most interesting is to deal with English in a real way. Knowing other people is a way to know ourselves and see how powerful or limited we are. I really wanna know what Nebraska means. More than share language we can communicate ourselves by our history and stories. I believe it will a very profitable experience.

Linda

1/16/2013 11:27:20 pm

I am so ecstatic that there are so many students who are enthusiastic about this course. I think we will all learn from each other and even moreso, learn more about ourselves! it will be very challenging to see what we produce as individuals working in a community.

Visiting Beveridge school was a great opportunity to know a little bit about American schools, and participating of Martin Luther King`s day as well. Checking the differences and the similarities can enhance our power of doing something different in our reality. I may say it`s a kind of utopia, but what else can move the other than dreaming about good things, a better world? I really enjoyed the experience of "having seen the moon from the other side of the world."

Vanda Gomes

1/23/2013 09:11:16 pm

This class brings for students and teachers a meaningful learnirng. For me, it´s a unique experience in which I´ll try to learn as much as I can and afer, share it with brazilian people. The visit to Beveridge Middle School was great. There, I saw energy, organization and learning. Thanks for the opportunity and congratulations for the teachers and students !

Fern

1/24/2013 12:40:57 am

Thank you for visiting our school and touring with us. I have some questions for you after reading your similarities and differences sheet.
Brazil: What are some forms of discipline in your school without a disciplinary room for students?
Japan: What did you mean by "smile is similar?"
?: Which school were you referring to when you mentioned that the cleanliness was different?
Brazil: What is different about your school's music room?
Saudi Arabia: Without a nurse's office, what happens if a student gets sick or injured in class?
Brazil: What kind of labs did you refer to in the differences section?
Brazil: Do you have to make up afternoon classes that you don't attend, such as going to school over the weekend?
Brazil: Where do students put their bookbags and school supplies without lockers?
Turkey: What is different about your school library?
Brazil: What languages can you choose to learn in your school?

Alaan (from Brazil)

1/27/2013 12:09:06 pm

Brazil: What are some forms of discipline in your school without a disciplinary room for students? The only dsiciplines that have a room are: Sports class, in some schools also Chemistry and Arts.
Brazil: What is different about your school's music room? In the schools that I work don´t have
Brazil: What kind of labs did you refer to in the differences section? All the classroom fited special to one subject.
Brazil: Do you have to make up afternoon classes that you don't attend, such as going to school over the weekend? No, only for some extra class project, if you subscribed for it.
Brazil: Where do students put their bookbags and school supplies without lockers? They keep with them and go home and return every day with them.
Brazil: What languages can you choose to learn in your school? Normally only English, but in some States also Spanish and German but you choose only one foreign language. This on Public Schools.

Maria Martins

1/29/2013 12:16:34 pm

Hi, Fern, as you can see, there are many different answers for your questions. Brazil is as big as USA and that makes also a wide variety of schools arrangements.
The city where I live in offers good free schools of music. Some schools are beginning their own courses.
Most of Brazilian students don`t have classes in the afternoon, but they have many activities for homework. Yeah, they have to carry their material every single day, lol. Sometimes they don`t take them to school. I just remember them the world is not for losers. I mean, that`s the way we have to work. Actually I believe students shouldn`t be so dependent on the school. School is important, but it isn`t enough to promote learning. Do you know what I mean?
All the Brazilian school should offer at least a foreign language, it is on law. In spite of that there is not so much chance to choose as there are not so many teachers available. Many of them are not prepared to teach a foreign language.
Anyway, I believe Brazilian students will change their mind, they really need someone to make them more self confident. Yes, they can.
I`m sure you would like to know my students. They are lovely in spite of being a little lazy sometimes.
I hope I had answered your questions. I mean, by my point of view.
Best regards from
Maria Aparecida Martins

Thank you for coming to beveridge, you taught us a lot. I have some questions for you. Who does smile, the teachers or the students. Why do you not have lockers. In size or in people of the classrooms. Why so small of a school. Do you hit them if they are bad. Are you schools clean or dirty. why dont you eat in the classrooms. Why no free food, food costs for students or teachers or both. Thank you for answering the questions.

Alaan (from Brazil)

1/27/2013 12:15:59 pm

. Why do you not have lockers? Need more space and also is expensive to have one for each student.
Why so small of a school? The population is raised up so fast and need more schools
Do you hit them if they are bad. We can´t hit the students, laws protect children.
Are you schools clean or dirty. Clean
why dont you eat in the classrooms. Rules are different in each school.
Why no free food, food costs for students or teachers or both. Students receive food for free, teachers are forbiden by law to eat the students food.
Thank you for answering the questions.

Thank you!
Have a nice day!

1/24/2013 12:47:56 am

Thanks for coming to our school!! I hope you enjoyed my tour as much as I did giving you one!! I have some questions to ask if you have time would you mind answering them;

Brazil; Why dont students change classrooms?
Saudia Arabia; Why do boys and girls go to school seperately?
Saudia Arabia; What happens to students if they come to school sick?
Brazil; What happens to students if they get into trouble?
Are the schools cleaner than Beveridge? Or is Beveridge dirty compared to your kind?
In your home country how are the schools organized?
Brazil; How many students are in each classroom?
Who chooses what classes the students take?
Brazil; If the students dont have lockers do they carry their stuff around all day?
Brazil; Why dont Brazilian students get to celebrate different cultures?

Thank you for the time to answer these questions!! :)

There are few schools in which students change classrooms, but in most of the Brazilian schools , the teachers change classrooms. There are many reasons for that, sometimes because the school doesn´t have rooms enough to put each subject in a classroom (the case of mine), sometimes because of the lack of will about doing something different. About the cleaning, there is a big difference among private and public schools in Brazil. Unfortunately, in most of the public schools, it´s not so difficult to see students painting or drawing in chairs, desks, doors, walls, etc., without authorization. The principal and the teachers try to avoid it, but it happens sometimes. About the number of students, there are about 30 - 45 students in a classroom. They don´t have lockers and it causes a lot of troubles sometimes. They have to carry things to the break or they let it in the classroom and it is locked. Well, have a nice day, Lelanie!

Thank you for coming to Beveridge but I have some questions...
why dont you have a theater.

Teacher Valeria

1/30/2013 01:01:37 pm

We have theater but only in an old and traditional school. If we want to use it we have to get for permission for the principal of that school and schedule it.
The others don´t have. The school where I work doesn´t have one because they say it´s expensive to build it. We just use the patio as a stage.
bye, thanks for your question

Hey, I had a great time giving a tour to you guys! I have a few questions after reading your similarities and differences cards. For Saudi Arabia, where do you go when your sick? Why are boys and girls seperated? For Japan, what did you mean by the smiles are the same? For Turkey, do you have a library at your school? For Brazil, do you have a music room at your school? Why do teachers change classes? Why don't students have lockers? How is the physical structure different? For China, what do you mean by "model is same"? Do you have a gym? Thanks for your time! See you soon!

Teacher Valeria

1/30/2013 01:08:08 pm

In Brazil students keep in the same classroom for 6 hours class.... teachers come and go, for wxample: they have 2 portuguese classes, then they have 1 art class, after they have 20 minutes break in the patio and , the cafeteria... after the break different teachers come until the end of the period which is 12:20 pm. They don´t have lockers because it was a lack of intelligence from the people who designed the school, they keep their material with them all the time. B ye, thanks for asking

Kolton

1/24/2013 12:50:09 am

Thank you for coming to Beveridge, i enjoyed giving you all tours. I have some follow up questions?
Brazil- Why can't students choose their subjects?
Bazil- Why don't you have a drama class?
Brazil- What do you do about students that have problems but dont have a counselor to go to?
Brazil- What are genders serperated in school?

Melissa Kandido

1/24/2013 01:47:08 am

I think Kolton meant to ask the Saudi and Omani students why genders are separated in schools (he indicated Brazil above, though)

Teacher Valeria

1/30/2013 01:18:36 pm

The subjects are imposed by the government to all and they are the same for all; it depends on the art teachers to have drama classes or not but it´s included on art class, if the teacher wants they might have some...the students with some kind of problems are sent to the coordinator who calls their parents to talk...they don´t get separated, the classes are mixed boys and girls,... students carry their school bags all the time... when in class they put them on the floor or on the back of the chairs..,The patio has a roof, students keep inside the patio, classes start at 7 am and finish at 12:20 for the first group, then we have afternoon classes for different students which start at 12:30 pm and end at 5:50pm. Bye thanks for asking.

Brazil: Since teachers do not have their own rooms, then do they have to share rooms with other teachers.
Brazil:Since you do not have any lockers, where do you put your belongings?
Brazil: How many laguage options can you choose from?
Brazil: What would be different about your library from the one at Beveridge?
China: Because the classes are much bigger at your school, are there many more students in each class?
Saudi Arabia: Since boys and girls study in different areas, are they allowed to talk to eachother between classes or after school?
Brazil: Although there is no theatre at your school, is there any place for the students to perform?
Brazil: Is the structure of your building more modern that our building or much older?
Brazil: Although students have no say in what they study, are they allowed to choose what their career is after their school years?
China: Since there is no free food, how much is the food usually priced at?

China: At other schools do they have indoor gym or all are outdoors?
Oman: Do you have a class that you can take for cooking or cleaning?

Hello all! As you can see, I shared your cards with what you found similar and what you found different about your home school to our school. As I was sharing, they had so many clarifying questions. You sparked such an interest. They wanted to know more more more. So I gave them the assignment to log their clarifying questions here. I know it seems like a litany, but there are some repeat questions. Your visit was such a great introduction to comparative education. Thank you! Hopefully, you have time to respond, they will be curious to find out the answers. Thanks for sharing your expert knowledge from abroad!

Hyia, Melissa!
As you know, each of us is really excited about the idea of sharing this intercultural experience. However, I think it could be also shared with our students. I`m quite sure your students would enjoy to know our schools through Brazilians students point of view insted of from teachers`. What do you think of?
