School clubs

1. When did you start school? Do you remember your first day?
I started going to school since I was 6. I remember my first day at school but not so good. I remember that I lost and couldn’t find my parents and my class.
2. How far do you have to travel from home to school? How do you get to school?
I go to school by school bus, it takes 30-40 minutes because usually we wait for others. And I use city bus, it takes 15-20 minutes.
3. Do you enjoy school life? What did you like and dislike about it?
Actually I don’t really enjoy my school life. Its really hard to do all homework and classwork, it feels like its your duty to do that. Also I sleep so bad because I go to Tumo and in Monday and Friday I come back home at 8-9pm. I do my homework and go to sleep when its 12:30 o’clock.
4. Who is your favorite teacher? What do you remember about him or her?
All the teachers are my favorite. They are calm and kind.
5. What is your favorite subject at school? Why?
My favorite subject is math and Russian. I’m not really good at math but its interesting. At Russian classes we talk with teacher, she’s so sweet and calm.
6. Do you have to wear a uniform to school?
No, we don’t. I don’t think we need to wear uniform if its uncomfortable. If I wear hoodie and jeans it doesn’t means that I will study bad.
7. How many children are there in your class? What is the best number of students for a class?
In my class there’s 25-27 students, and I think 26 students is good for class.
8. What do you and your classmates do during your lunch break?
Someone goes to buy something, someone bring his lunch. I usually don’t eat at school.
9. Is there bullying at your school?
I don’t know, maybe? I think there’s bullying in every school.
10. Do you get a lot of homework? Do you think it helped you learn?
Yes, we get a lot of homework. It helps, but sometimes there’s a lot of homework that is not useful. And we just waste out time on it.
11. How much sport do you do at school? Is sport important for school kids?
We do sports 90 minutes a week. I guess sports are important but not that much, we just need to be healthy.
12. When students behave badly, how are they punished at your school?
When they behave bad they usually get detention or a notice. But usually they go to the principal’s office.
13. What do you think about physical punishment? Is it effective?
It is effective, because it can awaken a trauma in someone. And that trauma can ruin the whole life.
14. Did you ever skip school? What did you do instead of going to school?
I skip school only if its and important reason, for example I don’t feel good or I have other important classes. When I skip school when i dont feel good, even at home I do all my homework and if I can, I help my mom.
