Boarding Schools

Anna prepared a Power Point Presentation for us to see what boarding schools are like in her country. Through the pictures we learnt they are like huge castles... they are amazing! She told us she lives in one and explained to us how they work, the kind of activities students do there (which are millions!), what their relationship with their parents is like, and what it meant for them to study in that type of schools, among other things.
What really caught our attention was the fact that boys and girls in England leave their home and family to attend school, since they not only study but also live in there. It was shocking for us given that here in Argentina we tend to be much more attached to our parents and friends. No doubt we would find it harder!
Anna also shared with us her own experience in her school years and that helped us get to know her a little bit more. We learnt a lot about education in England and had a great time listening to her anecdotes while going through the presentation with her.
