4th Entry

For this entry, after spending a week here, I am going to talk about the differences in the educational system between both countries. First of all, the class schedule is very irregular. You can start as early as 8:00 in the morning and finish as late as 6:00 in the evening. During this time, students usually have free time to do homework, projects, and eat. Generally, they don’t have to work much outside of school, even though, just like in Spain, they have 30 hours of lessons per week. On the other hand, the content of the subjects is much simpler, and the classes last 55 minutes, with 5 to 15-minute breaks between them. If they change subjects, they also change classrooms. To conclude, an important aspect of the French educational system is that they have an application called Pronote, where they can check their schedule, see where and when they have class, find out if teachers are absent (and therefore, not attend class), and view their exam and assignment grades, including the class average, highest, and lowest scores.
