Comparing My Costa Rican School to Schools in the U.S.

Schools in Costa Rica are really, really different. In some ways, it's a good difference! In others... it's not. One thing I forgot to mention is how much people are on their phones at school! Even when the teachers are talking there'll be kids playing games and texting... they don't even bother turning the text tones off!
Cooking in tourism class!

A strange mural... I thought this was so funny!

Typical classroom. You have to strategically place your desk under the fans and near the windows in order to not die of heat stroke!

Gym for dreaded P.E. (which I've only had about twice because our "Profe" is always gone...)
