Life in Boston (09/10/2013) posted by Johann and Claire

Today we went to the Boston Latin School, where we went to different classes with our correspondents. We noticed a lot of differences, for example the fact that they have to say "The Pledge Of Allegiance" every morning or that their classes last only 45 minutes, but there where also similarities. All the teachers and pupils were really excited to see us and we spend a really good morning.There we could see that the American teachers are so nice, that they even shake hands with us students. At 14:00, when the classes were finished, our correspondents showed us the school and after that everybody did something different and went back home to his family. Interview of one of the students:

So, Henry, how long are you already living in Boston ?

What do you think of this big city ?
- I really like Boston, because it is a major city in the U.S. but doesn't attract as many tourists as New York or Los Angeles. There is a lot of cool things to do too.

-Yes, my step-Grandmother lives in Brittany, in Western France.

-I mostly hang out with friends at a basketball court or at one of our houses.

How much time does it take to you to go to school ?
