Recognizing Perspectives

También, el sistema de educación para la gente con discapacidades es diferente también. No sé muchísimo sobre esas cosas, pero creo que hay solamente una o dos escuelas en esa zona de Asturias para la gente con problemas de aprendizaje (y son carísimos). Yo tengo una clase de ingles para los estudiantes que no tienen una clasificación pero no están en el mismo nivel como sus alumnos, pero no hay nada para ayudarlos. Ellos hacen que puedan y ya está. No hay IEPs o otras documentos que tenemos en los EEUU. Os recomiendo investigar sobre ese tema también. 

Since I know you are all looking into U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, I encourage you to look into the idea of gitanos in Spain. I do not know enough about this to really speak to it, but I know some information. It is a rather sensitive subject, so out of respect towards the Spanish culture I do not press the situation too  much. I would encourage you to look into this and see how you think it fits within Goal Number 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Last, a big thing to think about as you read this article is that this is just ONE school in ONE area of the entire country of Spain. This is by NO MEANS a summary of what all schools and students are like in Spain. These are just my observations while teaching here since September. In addtion, by no means am I saying that any of these differences are better or worse than the others. Each education system has its advantages and disadvantages. I encourage you to research the education system of Spain as much as you can. It is quite interesting, but every single person I speak to has a different opinion. I am curious as to what your opinions are in relation to these ideas.
