School Visit to Bridgeport - Brewster

Our visit to Bridgeport - Brewster schools was quite interesting because we could watch how teachers do their job working with children that do not speak English as a first language. An important fact is that in these schools the 81% of the students speak Spanish and most of the teachers speak just English so teaching and learning can be pretty difficult. However, they set up high expectations for their students, like college classes, which is really important because the students know what they have to do and what is expected of them. I really liked the environment inside the schools, the messages written on the walls, the layout and organization of the tables inside the classrooms all of them painted in bright colors, every teacher in his/her room making the schools a comfortable place to be in. I would like to have these kind of facilities in Chile.
