Soy profe en EE.UU. y enseñé un año en España. Yo también tenía muchos culture shocks. Como dijiste, el primer día me presenté diciendo, “Me llamo Sr. Armstrong” y los estudiantes respondieron “Pues, profe, tenemos que usar tu apellido???? Qué raro!” Me gustaba muchísimo en España no tener que pasar por detectores de metal cada día y no necesitar policía en las escuelas! También me encantaba la idea de la selectividad para entrar en la universidad. Aquí en EE.UU. tenemos los SAT y/o ACT pero no hay exámenes estandardizados nacionales del contenido que se debe aprender. En EE.UU. las solicitudes para la uni dependen demasiado de factores no académicos.

Enlightening video! ...not sure but i think you mean to say 'publishing companies' and not 'editorials' when talking about spanish schools not providing text books.

In South Africa I had the choice to learn in English or Afrikaans. Depending on where you live in the country, there might be more choices for what language you'd like to learn in as there are 12 official languages in South Africa 🥰

I totally agree with this comparison and .. I think this is the first time I have heard you saying something positive about the UK! 😄 ( I love the UK and miss living there so much!)

Aqui en Reino Unido esta plagado de gente que se queja del pais, la gente, el clima, los sistemas y la mayoria son extranjeros que vinieron aqui para vivir y trabajar, y de estos hay bastante espanoles. No entiendo por que hay tanta inmigracion si despues ellos mismos son los que mas se quejan del pais. 🤦

​@@aldozilli1293be fair, there are a lots of people of all different nationalities who do the same in Spain, complaining and saying what is better in their country wherever that country is. Best way to settle into a new country is not to constantly compare it to your own. There isn't a perfect country, just what you are used to.

Definitely agree about the amount of books the kids need in a Spanish school, there were that many for my 2 we got them school bags on wheels. Very different in Scotland.

Yr 6 S.A.T.s were scrapped in Wales, my sister and I had to do them.

I´m a Primary School teacher myself in Spain but my kid attends a British School. I don´t know if that is the best thing to do, but the problem is I don´t trust the Spanish Educational Law. It has been used for too long as a political tool. Every party changes the law every time they get into the government. The law is "ideal", "perfect", "inclusive", "modern" full of good wishes but with any funds to make it real. Teachers struggle trying to attend all the students needs, but having 25 students per classroom, students with special needs, lots of bureaucracy work to do and just one person to carry on with all that seems undoable to me. We will see how this end, but so far, we prefer the British system.

Thank you for very interesting and humoristic videos😊 In a primary school here in Andalucia the kids go from 9 to 14 with no break, thank God for that 😅 also no school books to buy in ESO. It's interesting to see that the Spanish school is more similar to the Norwegian in that it's more laid back and less rules, than the British.

@@Rose-bd9dt I didn't say the school system in general was similar. I said the aspect of it being more laid back in Spain in comparison to Britain with regards to what you call the teacher, what you're allowed to wear etc, it was more similar to Norway - which surprised me, because I thought it would be the opposite.

@@user-gd8dv2sk8i you can find a similarity somewhere in practically any two things you compare but, honestly, please don't go around telling people that they are similar, it is extremely misleading. It is way more advanced than in Spain, and, if you really insist on comparing, it is more similar to the British system in the actual teaching focus and skills it promotes. I would hate anyone to think the schooling in Norway is similar to in Spain.

Ah! Y entre las cosas que no sé cómo podeis hacer es comer -a whole lunch- y luego seguir dando clase! Qué morriña! Estudié en España (Sevilla) y nunca tuve jornada partida en primaria, estudiaba de 9 a 2, no sé si es algo de ahora o de la comunidad de Madrid, BUT WHAT A NIGHTMARE. Y otra cosa, para ser maestro de primaria en España, estudias magisterio (creo que de especializan al final de la carrera en una rama). Para ser profe de instituto, sí que necesitas una carrera sobre lo que vayas a impartir (en mi caso filología inglesa y soy profesora de inglés)😊 Btw, lockers are getting popular in schools in Madrid 😂

Seeing this as a Spanish person who studies in a British School from nursery and is currently preparing IGCSE, it is rather interesting ( lol ik more abt the English than the Spanish system).

Hey, a Spaniard here. Since Spain is not centralised, everything changes a lot. I for example didn’t have to pay for any of the books until i started bachillerato, we borrowed them and then gave them back at the end of the year. Also, my primary school started at 9 and ended at 2, no break in between. My schools didn’t serve lunch 😢, we had a small cafe in my secondary school (not primary) in case we wanted to buy a toast, but that was it I guess everything is different depending on where you are in Spain

I'm going to sound like a right pedantic Scot here but the curricula of England and Scotland are quite different, there's no British curriculum or a curriculum of the United Kingdom.

En España hay mejor nivel cultural. Sin embargo en Reino Unido el acceso a la educación es mayor, y penalizan menos. Todos para adelante. A pesar de la alta oferta cultural de UK, todo tiene un precio muy alto. Mientras que ver un ballet o un teatro en España es muy accesible. Lo único que veo interesante en UK es la financiación cultural, ya que el cine, el arte, etc se consideran un valor económico, mientras que en España no se valora la cultura como tal y a los trabajadores culturales. Sin embargo, es mucho más fácil acceder en España, que en Reino Unido, ya que en UK cada cosa que solicitas hay mil personas aplicando, y desgraciadamente en España el trabajo cultural es endémico.

En lo de la mochila te has pasado. La llevan con ruedas hasta la salida, dónde les recogen en coche

I was a language assistant in England for a year and I've been an English teacher for 3 years in Madrid ... I might be biased, but I truly believe that the English education system is better IN THEORY, as at the end of the day the kids did not learn much either - although that's just what I witnessed and thus merely a personal experience. The theory is GREAT, but putting it into practice is exceptionally hard, specially for the teachers. I didn't stay or try getting my QTS because I found the amount of hours teachers worked for such low wages and poor recognition unbelievable, so ... Props to you girl! You're doing amazing

Oh..y no mencionaste lo de la OPOSICIÓN para los profes cada 2 (o 3?) años y que la mayoría de los profes no consiguen un puesto permanente en una escuela y que la junta puede mandarlo a un sitio diferente cada año (al menos en Extremadura donde trabajaba yo).,.

Patricia, it's unfair to critique our Spanish Educational Curriculum, given that each autonomous community has tailored it to their specific circumstances. As a civil servant, you'd likely be aware that the curriculum boasts "freedom" in determining the hours allocated to certain subjects. However, in reality, there are significant differences from Andalucía to Madrid/Pais Vasco and other regions...

Mis hijos están estudiando aquí en Inglaterra y creo que tienen un nivel más bajo que el mío a su edad (yo estudié en España). Luego yo creo que en España hay mucha más presión al final de la ESO y en Bachiller con la cantidad de asignaturas diferentes que aprendemos, aquí en Inglaterra se especializan y ya está . Otra cosa es el nivel de matemáticas y de lenguas extranjeras me parece que es inferior en Reino Unido. Y luego la mayor aberración es que en UK no se estudia ni ética ni filosofía que es la base del conocimiento humano.

I agree! It would be very useful! Or other practical things like taxes etc

A 3 year old toddler going to "school" seems odd. I guess he better grow Big Cohones early to survive Bullies. Otherwise it is a big shock to see them for the first time at 7 years. I doubt you can learn a lengua at school. All typical teachers do is drill grammar rules, a new handwriting, and usually not speak the language because they can't. A uniform would give less chances for them to laugh at my bad clothes. But I guess they could ruin the singular uniform and cause big trouble, and I wouldn't have enough money to replace it. I like formal jackets on girls. I wish politicians would wear something like that. Those libras get destroyed stuffed into a backpack. Or they get ruined by classmates. And then you have to answer about their condition if they are state owned.

There are 2 S.A.T.s one in year 6 and the other year 9.
