Schools in Argentina (by Ailén & Ruth)


Schools in Argentina are different from those of other countries. Here we have public and private schools.
The main differences are that private schools are expensive and their students have to wear uniforms. Girls usually have to wear a ponytail and can´t have their nails coloured. On the other hand, in most public schools pupils must wear white pinafores and education is free.  
In both types, there are preschools for toddlers and children under 6. They play and learn all the day. Then, we have primary and secondary schools.
Primary schools are for children aged from 6 up to 11 or 12 years old. During this time, children learn Maths, Science and Language among other subjects with different teachers for the special ones like Gym and Arts.
On secondary schools, everything is different. The lessons are more difficult than in the previous levels. They are made up of 6 years. There are more subjects with different professors and you have to study more and harder if you want to pass exams so that you don´t repeat the year. 
How about your school or the ones where you live?
