IS SCHOOL COOL?

LINDSAY, 13: What I really like about school is being with my friends during the breaks. But classes are fun and interesting too. For example, Music isn’t difficult at all. I just don’t like French so much because I don’t understand it.

I’m very keen on sports too – I’m part of the school’s basketball team. I started playing three years ago.

Of course there are things I don’t like. Some rules are very strict: we can’t take our mobiles to school. I think we could take them to class if they were switched off.

STEVE, 12: Every morning when I wake up I feel bad, because I must go to school. Lessons are boring and I can’t concentrate in class. My classmates are always talking. And some students call me names just because I’m very short. I also hate it when teachers give me lots of homework.

I never have lunch at school. It’s a good thing that I don’t have classes in the afternoon because the food is horrible.

ADAM, 14: The best thing about my school is our school library. There is an area where you can just sit and read quietly or do your homework.
