1.\u00a0Gli insegnanti si spostano tra le classi\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Teachers, not students, move between classrooms. Typically there are 20-30 students in one classroom, and they stay together in the same classroom all year long. They do not have armadietti<\/em>, lockers, because they always have all their books with them.\u00a0Ci sono alcuni positivi e alcuni negativi di questa sistema. <\/em>Students become quite close amici,<\/em> friends,\u00a0but could you imagine if you had nemici<\/em>, enemies, in the same classroom all day and all year? Un incubo,<\/em> a nightmare.<\/p>\n

2. La scuola \u00e8 per l’apprendimento<\/em><\/p>\n

School is strictly for learning. There are no sports or extra-curricular activities that are connected to school. If students want to play sports they will need to join a private club in the city which could be quite expensive. There are no school plays or musicals, no talent shows, and no typical American school dances.<\/p>\n

3. La scuola non \u00e8 gratuita<\/em><\/p>\n

School is not free. Parents have to pay a school tax, tasse d\u2019iscrizione,<\/i>\u00a0of around 20 euros a year, as well as pay anywhere from 200-400 euros a year on textbooks and supplies. Transportation is not provided unless you are more than 2 miles away from school, and in that case transportation is provided at a monthly fee of around 15 euros a month.<\/p>\n

4. Aspettative rigorose<\/em><\/p>\n

Schools in Italy are rigorous. There are many standardized written as well as oral exams that must be passed. If an exam at the end of the year is bocciato<\/em>, failed, students will need to re-take the exam in September. If they fail again, they will be held back. There is no grey area with this, no arguing of a grade, or asking for credito scolastico extra<\/em>, extra credit. Teachers are strict and students know what is expected of them, they either study hard and rise to the occasion or fail and get held back.<\/p>\n

Students spend 6 days a week in school, lunedi – sabato,\u00a0<\/em>from 8.30 to 13.30,<\/em>\u00a0and it is typical that they spend multiple hours a day studying outside of school as well. They only get a 15 minute break during their school day to have a quick spuntino<\/em>, snack. They have about 5 subjects a day.<\/p>\n
