St. Paul’s vs. Warren County

St. Paul’s is different in many ways but also has many similarities that shocked me.  To start these kids are trilingual and learn in their second language, English. These students have all the same subjects taught to them except they have a block of Spanish and Catalon taught to them. Most of the teachers are from England and only speak English to the students. The biggest difference here is that there are large breaks throughout the day. There is second breakfast in the morning where the students and teachers have an hour to rest and play. After two more blocks the schools has an hour and a half for lunch where the teachers have time to plan and the students have more time to play. Because of all of the break time, students seem to be able to focus better during instructional time.
