The High-School Experience in Latin America

America's schools are different than Latin Americas. In America we have 7 classes, but in Latin America they have up to 12 classes. Unlike us, they don't go to every class every day. So it is a lot like our colleges. Latin Americans are required to take English. The teachers in Latin America perfer lecturing instead of having their students participate as much as Americans do. They do not have lockers which is unfortunate because they have much more homework than we do. In America we use letter grades. Latin Americans use number grade. The most common type of school in Latin America are private schools. They are affordable unlike here. In America there are mainly public schools. Our private schools are very expensive and not everyone can afford them. All schools in Latin America are required to wear uniforms. IN America usually only some private schools have to wear uniforms.
