First vocational visit: Tim

Monday was my first vocational visit to an Italian High School. I really enjoyed meeting with a fellow teacher from Italy. We were able to talk and discuss similarities and differences in our fellow school systems.
Some things to note:
There are five years of high school in Italy
The federal government is becoming more involved in education
Technology is lacking in his particular school; old school methods still being used
There are two different schools: The other is called a classical school (Greek, Latin, other various subjects)

After our vocational visit we headed to the fort that protected Alessandria from threats. I was rather impressed for we had Italian High School students lead the tour. They did a great job!

Finally in the evening we had our first rotary presentation in front of a gracious audience.

    Thanks for your comments about the 1st vocational day. Glad the trip is going well.

    You won't get many comments from D7570, but rest assured the blog is being read by many people back home.
