1 December 2009

A 2 hr trip to Evanston Township High School today. A long journey but definitely worth it as we got to see our American peers in their homeground - their own high school (equivalent to sec school & JC combined).

This school is certainly well-equipped with huge gyms, numerous sports halls / courts eg. 6 tennis courts(!), swimming pool - the list goes on. Different parts of the school are assigned to different areas of study eg. Art, Music, Car-Auto Shop (!), kitchens, DayCare (Yes, students doing early childhood education have to do hands-on here with 3 year olds). And the list goes on again.

Another striking difference is the homeroom system where students attend class in the respective teachers' classes eg. History in the History room. Very fascinating as the rooms are arranged or decorated according to how the teacher wishes or perhaps the theme of the semester. Won't you be more engaged this way? Hmmm..something for our school to consider.

Students in the History Room - decorated according to Southeast Asian Theme...

View of the History Rm without students....

This is the English classroom...about 20 students per class..

They do all kinds of art...

Their own greenhouse for study of plants....

Here's the daycare.....

And our very own Gabriel presenting his views on the differences / similarities between the American and Singaporean system....
