4th B - How was school before? Ask a family member about a childhood memory or anecdote by ASCENSIO VINYALS RIOSECO

When I was a teen, around 13-14, I used to be a good student in class. I didn't get awesome grades, just good, and I behaved correctly, but I remember that some teachers were very strict with us, so I didn't have the chance to misbehave. Of course, they never hit or insult us, but there was some fear towards some of them. No one ever dared to speak to the teachers in a too "friendly" tone. When someone did something bad in class, everyone was quiet and that person received a punishment (and later, another one in his/her house).

My mom's experience in high school.

I remmember that when I was in high school we had to climb some very long and big iron stairs. The school was gigant and we had a really good playground. I was very friendly and participatory in class, my grades were good but I hated maths so much. My teachers were strict but ok but I was scared of my technology teacher. If someone had a bad behavior they threw them out of class. You had to be very careful because only looking at you, you knew that something was going on. Anyway, my parents never knew when I was punished because I faked their signatures.

When I was in 1st ESO course my technology's teacher had an accident and he lost one leg, one arm and his front. Because of that they operated on him and put iron or metal prostheses, I don't really know. We never saw the prostheses but when he got angry he made noise hiting the table and we were scared so he finally told us.

When my mother went to high school there wasn't internet so there weren't projects for example presentation or videos etc. Everything was done manually.
The student's parents weren't so informed about what their children were doing.
The teachers were more strict and the students had respect towards them.

When my mom was studying the school was very big, but there wasn't heating, so she always brought her big jacket and go with her best friend.
My mom was a very good student, and she always had good grades but part of them was from my grandmother, because sometimes she makes special bread to her teacher, so in that way can get good grades in some subjects.

When I was young, I took my brothers to school, so when I saw the clock we were an hour earlier. I went home and my mom was laughing at me because she knew it, but she keeps it to herself to teach me a lesson.
At the end, when I took my brothers again to school, we were late.

"When I was in the high school, I remember that the teachers were so close. They were teachers and sometimes they were psichologist. Because, when the people had a different behaviour or had a problem, they should help them. In that moment, teachers asked to the children first and maybe to the parents. There wasn't Internet so it was more difficult to talk with the parents."

"When I was studying in the high school, we did electric circuits. When I was working with them, I burned with a welder. The teacher told me that I should stop. I continued because I wanted to finish that day. Some minutes later I burned another time. The teacher finished my work because of my persistence. He was so polite."

My father experience in high school

2020-12-09 15:59:47 UTC

"When my father was in the high school, the teaching was more demanding.
All the classes were explained in spanish and not in catalan. In the playground, they played many games and they didn't use technology so they couldn't use traductor or websides.
They also had trips and travels.
At our age, they knew many things more than us.
My father went to FP, where didn't need a high average note and was 5 years, but he only went 2. On bup were going the people with high average.
My father stoped to studying, for work to help his family."

When my mom was studying, more or less the school/highschool was so similar than now, the things were quiet diferent, the main language was Spanish, and all the classes were in Spanish, in those years, the school was until eighth, so you did two more years, and finally, they didn't have internet, so it was all more complicated and slower.

My mother's school experience was pleasant. In her time, the school reached up to eighth grade, and there wasn't high school, but she didn't study any more. It stands out that they played a lot at the time of the playground, and she enjoyed a great variety of games that aren't played today. She was very friendly and she had a lot of friends, but she was quite shy. She was pretty good at plastic and she enjoyed the time that she was studing

In high school, before they always worked in Spanish, except in Catalan and English. Before, teachers respected each other more than now. There were many more duties than now. Always be worked witht books and dossiers. The schedules were the same as now. They wrote with typewriters. They had a yard for half an hour like now.

My father's anecdote

iikermartiin — 2020-12-09 20:00:56 UTC

When my father went camping with the institute, they slept far from the teachers, and of course my father, as always, was messing her up, what to him and his friend what to shout "¡ fuego, fuego!" and the teachers ran to see what happened. And they punished him and his friend, doing push-ups.

'' when I was in high school, all the clases started very early and ended late. There weren't desks so we wrote on tables or on the floor. Although the conditions were not the best, I was trying to learn. The teachers taught us new things every day, my favourite subject was French. I thougt about going to University, but finally I found a job on a Company and I started working''

When my father went to high school there wasn't studied Catalan. In this time, the students only studied Spanish, English, French and sometimes Germany.
On the other hand my father wasn't internet for that very reason they needed to do manually work's.
For the last, the teachers were very very strict and it was allowed to "hit" the students.

My anecdote

When I was 12 I was in the bakery and I had a tuna sandwich, it was summer and the owner of the bakery changed. They didn't have a fridge and the tuna was expired. I ate most of the sandwich and my grandfather ignored me and I told him I was biting. When my brother ate the sandwich, my grandfather believed me and a while later a friend told me: Naira, you are very red, so I went to the doctor and it turns out that I got intoxicated with the tuna sandwich

My Anecdote

yel4 — 2020-12-09 21:02:02 UTC

One day when I was 8 years old, I went to a park with my friends Javi, Joel and Anas. All was normal, we were playing fotball, until ''SHE'' arrived. She was a little girl of not more than 4 years old. She was riding a bike with her friends, I didn't think it was important, until she ran me over. She hurt my knee and left a scar on it. I was very angry with her, so I broke her bike and I run out of there.

PD: She's Russian, and I'm going to take revenge.

"The school was so far, so I had to wake up so early and walk a lot of time. The classes were very boring, the teacher punish you without a reason, so you must be quiet. I remember that I wasn't a brillant student, but the subjects were so hard, so was difficult to get a good mark. I got the high school and I started working because my parents were sick and I had to start working".

pizquierdo2 — 2020-12-09 23:36:26 UTC

Formerly, or at least in the school where my mother studied, in carnival what they did was set fire to carnastoltes. They were to a field to burn it.
First they put on it wood or stiks, and later a teacher poured gasoline over it for burned well. When they done all this things a math teacher started to plug in a match or a lighter.
He had such bad luck that the air made that all the fire go to his face. But luckily nothing too serious happened to him, and now a days he is alive.

My anecdote

cbermudez16 — 2020-12-10 09:28:06 UTC

When I was 5, in my class we were cutting some papers with scissors, one of my partners elbowed me and I accidentally cut myself and I got a pretty big cut and the funny thing it was that I didn’t even realize that I cut myself, my partner was apologizing and I was in shock because I didn’t realize it. And when I realize it, I start screaming and seeing my finger with all the blood that was falling from it, it seems creepy but it was a funny story , and I will always tell it as a joke.
