cultural integration

Today in class, it was very interesting to interview students from different backgrounds. It was interesting to hear about how they were raised and educated in different ways than what we know of today. It was especially different to hear about Aya's story. I thought it was weird to hear about how her main language in Japan was english and their secondary language in that school was Japanese. You would think that being in your native country the main language would be the national language but not in that case. The student from Ghana also had a nice to story to hear as well. It would be very different if our schools were structured similar to the one that he attended until his senior year in high school. Being able to experience three different styles of schooling is a very good asset to have because you know how hard it can get and how easy it could be.
