WEEK 3
school
PART 2
the commons
This place is like the “foyer” in FRANCE
There are two pianos and there are guitars available for students.
It’s a place for students to hang out during their free periods.
There are tables and chairs and it is an open space.
During lunch time it’s often crowded.
lunch
There are different lunch times, it depends on your schedule and it’s only 40 minutes
the meal is very different, and there are :
- a main dish - fruits - soups
- salad bar with a lot of toppings
- a lot of choices for drinks (milk, ice tea, orange, apple and cranberrie juice or water)
- many seasonings
teachers and students eat together
- At lunch we don't have a tray.
- After we eat our meal we can go to the salad bar. it's all cold food (we can find carrots, lettuce, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, eggs, apples, bananas, etc.... ) we can eat as much as we like.
- There is also the possibility of making sandwiches; we can toast the bread and add jam, butter or fake peanut butter, (NWS respects students' intolerances by also offering vegan dishes).
administration
- Every morning, the student have to sign in when they arrive. They have a code. If they want to leave during their free time, they have to sign out and sign in when they are back.
- Every door leading to the outside has a code to open it.
- In France when the teacher is absent you don’t have to go to class, you can leave. Whereas in NWS when a teacher is absent another one does the class.
- at NWS, every time someone introduces themselves, they use pronouns for example (he/she/they).
- Toilets are also mixed
see you next week !!!
