For the Robert College Students
1. English class with Tommaso- because people were acting out and playing games
2. So much technology! and discussion in class. People interact a lot.
3. Ice cream in the cafeteria! and there are no bells here! and people wear anything they want!
4. Lap top program in the younger grades in Turkey
5. Everybody knows each other here! and there are exchange students for a whole year.
6. people take time to eat breakfast and have more free time
7. both discussions in class and people are open minded
8. less rules -here you can eat in class and people use phones
9. lunch breaks with host student (even though they were short!)
For the YHS Students:
1. I have learned about all the things that are different and similar. and the little things I take for granted or like the fact she had never had peanut butter and jelly sandwich before! Its a small example but it shows the little things everyone is unaware of!
2. How many languages and how good at them you all are!
3. Language is so much more important in their school. They start a lot younger learning languages and it is enforced. It is embarrassing that America doesn't value teaching languages more
4. I have asked her so many already! I don't know what more there are to ask that will equal actually experiencing life in Turkey.
5. More language requirements!! more interest in culture.
