Efficiency...

Ah...in the car ride Juan quizzed me on the things I don´t like about CHile. He says, I don´t want to know what is good, I want to know the things that bother you. Ha ha....open the floodgates buddy and sound the alarms! Alright, there aren´t that many things that bother me, but it was an open door I chose to take.

So, on the topic of school, I told him I don´t understand why you all spend so much time at school and I don´t understand why students need to copy pages and pages of information. He looked at me and laughed...and agreed it didn´t make sense. Then, he says, people from the US Jami don´t waste time....Chileans waste alot of time. They may work for 8 hours, but the result is only about 5 hours of work. Ahh...it isn´t just me that recognizes this! yay!

Then, he corrected me on the pass or fail you still move ahead that I had written about before. If a student fails a class, they have to repeat that year (?). Shoot, now I cannot remember...

Alright...now voy a acostarme.

Buenas,

jami
