US vs. Spanish Schools: A Student's Perspective
Martina, a student who has attended schools in both the US and Spain, recently shared her experiences in a popular video. She highlights key differences in teaching methods and overall learning environments. In the US, she found a more practical approach, focusing on understanding concepts rather than rote memorization. "In the US, it's more about understanding and applying what you learn," she explains. In contrast, she describes the Spanish school system as more intense, with a heavier emphasis on memorization for exams. "You study until you're exhausted, memorizing everything for the exams," she says.
However, Martina also acknowledges drawbacks. The US system has more school lockdowns due to safety concerns, which she found unsettling. In Spain, the close-knit community fostered stronger friendships. "In Spain, everyone knows everyone," she notes. Her video has sparked discussions about the pros and cons of each system, highlighting the importance of considering individual learning styles and cultural contexts when choosing an educational path.
