Differences between The Second Secondary School Attached to the China Eastern Normal Unicersity and Fairfield


Today was a blast. We kicked start the day with a light warm up with the students here. It was breath taking and the morning wind was just great. After which, we joined the students for a day of lesson. Honestly speaking, it was quite a challenge to understand what they were learning as all their lessons were taught in Chinese, including English. In addition, the classes we were assigned to were of higher level of education as compared to us.

And the weather here is still so cold. There was once i wished that my whole school was air conditioned, but looking at the way things are here now, I'm really starting to have my doubts.

One commendable difference from the way both schools operate was the way in which the school operates in. I felt that the system which they implemented, that is the Ten Minutes Interval in between classes was quite feasible. This allowed students to have short breaks in between as well as make them not feel so restless.

In addition, although they are giving freedom to do certain things, they do not abuse it. One instance is the use of their time. They are able to balance it with much discipline, so much so that they won't be late for classes as well as able to complate their tasks assigned. In this sense, they have also gained the trusts of the teachers.
