First Impressions of Schools

I have had some trouble getting to the internet, but hopefully it will be resolved soon.  All is well here.  Went to three schools yesterday and it was really different than in the US.  Students attend one of three turns a day, morning, afternoon, or evening.  Evening classes go past 10 PM.  There is little in terms of books and the classes can be very large, but most I saw were the size of American school classes.  The students are only just starting to learn English but enjoy hearing about life in the USA.  One girl really wanted to know about St. Patrick´s Day.  The teachers go to different schools, some that are very far away, and they teach only one class and then go back to a school in the complete opposite direction.
