'Maddy & Gus meet the Italian School System' won by a landslide. I will keep the rest up for a new poll next week, and so on, so never fear if you were the one who voted for hearing about which motor vehicle Gibbs wants to buy next, your day will come!
I'm not sure where to start with this topic, and it may take a few entries to do it justice. School in Italy is a huge part of our experience, and in and of itself, it has not been a particularly positive one. Yet, going to school has been key to nearly every other profoundly positive experience we've had here. It's how the kids have learned Italian, it's how we all have met people and made friends, it is what has solidified our sense of belonging here in Monterenzio. A necessary evil?
I asked the kids to tell you what were the three aspects of their school lives at Pizzano that might surprise you the most, and then to choose one element of school they wish they could bring home and one they would be happy to leave. They had a lot to say, so I typed and then used each response for a blog entry.
