Day 7

The second day of school, which was Tuesday March 23rd, was about the same as Monday, all of the students were taking their exams. However, I helped grade many of the exams and the material is about the same that I had learned at my charter school. I am not sure how it compares to the regular public schools in NC but the information was very detailed. I found out that they have some of the same subjects that we have but then a few additional ones such as, ethics, learning potential, and HFLE. Their ethic exam dealt with more safety type questions, such as bike safety and all. HFLE is like their health course. For the HFLE exam it was mainly dealing with male and female reproduction systems. I found this very interesting because I never had a course in this it was always just slide into biology. Last, Learning Potential, I found this one very interesting because we do not really have a course equivalent to this one in the states. The exam questions all dealt with a word that represented a group of something. For example, " what is a group of sheep called?" When grading the test I realized that though their is more information the class still has some of the same problems that we have in America, not enough studying. There were not many A's if even one and most of the grades were in the 70s. However, unlike Bradley Creek and Rachel Freeman the grading scale down here is on a ten point scale, similar to that of high school and college. So there are some similarities between the school system here and the one in North Carolina.
