THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE (a real story)

Alegre, Testoni and Mora

It was the first day that Benjamin met his girlfriend. Josefina was younger than him and they attended the same school. One day she invited him to her home. While Benjamin was going to Josefina’s home, a thief tried to rob him but he could escape from the man.

Finally he arrived to Josefina’s house. They began to kiss. Suddenly they heard a noise of a car. It was Josefina’s father who had come earlier from work. Benjamin got scared so he hid under the bed. When Josefina’s father came into the house, he went to the bathroom and Benjamin could run away.

When he was walking on the street a man on a motorbike spited at him. It wasn’t the best day of his life, but if Benjamin hadn’t lived all those things, he would have never met his lovely girlfriend.

HOW LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN

Carolina Rodríguez 

If I had been born with a different sex, I would have played football and I  would not have had a boyfriend. I would not have depilated, also I would have gone to see a concert. I would have worked, too. I would have fought with other boys and I would not have bought a lot of clothes. Finally I would not have cooked.

If I had been born in different country, I wouldn´t have spoken Spanish.
I wouldn´t have come here to this school. I would have had other friends. I would have had other vocabulary.

If I had lived in the Irak, I would have died. If I had lived in Brasil, I would have been black. If I had lived in the USA, I would have known Disney, and I would have lived in the beach.

 

Camila Rodríguez

If I had been born with a different sex, I would have played football. I wouldn´t have made up. Also, I wouldn´t have depilated. At the same time, I wouldn´t have had a boyfriend. I would have worked. I wouldn´t have danced. I wouldn´t have made a diet and finally I would´t have cooked.

Alegre, Nicolini, Romero, Testoni and Mora

 

October 9, 2008

San Antonio de Padua, Buenos Aires

 

On Tuesday we had a new “Foro”, but this time it was to commemorate October 12, “Día de la raza”.

First some students made a debate as an introduction. They commented opinions about the colonization. They were about ten students, five agreed and five disagreed.

Then we could give our opinion but only a few students talked. We might have participated more but nobody wanted to give their opinion.

The “Foro” was longer that the last one and it was very interesting because we talked about racial discrimination too. We also watched some videos about Colón and they gave a conclusion about the topic.

A hard work

ANOTHER SITUATION IN SAN ANTONIO SCHOOL

 

Another act of misbehaviour took place by the same group of students, 2^nd sociales, during the class of “communication and media”. The class was coming back from the brake, students were yelling, beating and throwing balls of paper. The teacher tried to go on with her class, until one paper ball hit her head.

Angry, the teacher called with headmaster. He asked many times who was the one who threw the ball…no one answer.

When the headmaster left the room. The student responsible of the action recognized his fault. The repeated bad behaviour of this student resulted in his expulsion.

LOSS OF RODRIGO

 

Last week, in San Antonio school, in the hours of culture and communication, the boys of the course (2^nd sociales) started throwing papers. Rodrigo Salas threw a ball of paper in the arm of the teacher (this was not intentional). Rodrigo took charge, and they gave him 15 admonitions, and gave him a pass to another college.

On Tuesday Rodrigo begins the classes in the ‘anexo’ school.

AND ANOTHER SITUATION…

 
Once more, students from 2º sociales of San Antonio school, are in trouble. This time the one who had to "suffer" this group of students was Miss Burella, the chemistry teacher.
This class keeps on behaving badly and lacking of attention. The teacher, tired of this situation, tried to talk to students. She wanted to know the reason of this misbehaviour. There was a strong argument between teacher and students, some of them said that they were not interested in her classes. Miss Sandra, very disappointed, found that all her work was in vain, and the most important thing, that her students did not respect her.
Since this problems, Miss Burella has developed her classes in a different way. Now the subject is difficult to understand and students found out that all this situation made things harder for them.

On friday september 5th, second naturales began a bad morning. The mathematic’s teacher, Mirta Serrano, gave a one to everybody in the class, because the students hadn´t
