Our School

Our school has 3 floors, but the students of batxillerat are in another building, with 3 floors too. The two buildings are fine, but the problem is that in the batxillerat building we are alone. Sometimes in the class of 
P. E. we go running along the greenway (it is a way where the train used to circulate. But now it has become a car-free way to go with your bike or running)
In our school there are people from: Roquetes, Reguers, Paüls, Xerta, Aldover, Benifallet, Jesús and Alfara de carles (small villages near Roquetes).





·What are the good points and the bad points of their school?

GOOD POINTS

-It has the latest technology.
-It has a lot of teachers.
-It has a lot of equipment like computers, tables, blackboards, overhead projectors, encyclopaedias…


BAD POINTS

-It has more than 600 students and we don’t stay in the same building.
-It is next to a road and it is in a noisy place.
-The classrooms’ acoustics is not very good.
-Some students live in other towns and they commute to school every day.


·What, if anything, would they change about their school?

We’d like to change the geographic situation because it is next to a road.
We’d like to change the classrooms because they are too small. 
We’d like to have only one big building, because now we have two buildings,one  for  ESO students ( 12-14 year old) and for  Batxillerat.(16-18 year old)

Do their parents think that school now is better or worse?

My parents think that now it's better because when they were studying the teachers could hit the students and they had to be really quiet in class and they think that this was really bad.

·Was their Parents time at school useful for them?

People didn’t have as much money as they have today, and they had to work to help their family. Most of the people studied a little but they didn’t need this to do the jobs they have today.
Other people use their studies to work today.
The reason is because we live in a rural area and most of the jobs are farmers. They don’t need any formation. 
Have their studies helped them in their life?
Yes, it is always necessary to know about somethin
