Today I will talk about the school I went in Brazil. It's actually pretty different compared to Hawaii's school. Well… for one, if parents don't have money to pay for their child's schooling, then they can't attend school. Ten years ago, the unfortunate ones whom weren't able to go to school, didn't know how to read and write correctly even when they became adults. I'm not sure if it is still the same today, but back then many lacked even the basic education.  Compared to Hawaii's elementary schools, where there are good public schools and free until high school, in Brazil,  people had to pay to get an education. Luckily, my parents were able to pay for my private school and after school classes. The name of my school was called "Escola Barifaldi". It was one of the best private school in São Paulo, Brazil. It was in the middle of the city next to the police station. One of the interesting fact, is that we had a 12 story-high building where we used the elevators to get to different classes. We also had the regular building blocks for pre-schools, patio and cafeteria area. Another difference was that I don't remember having field trips anywhere while in school. The area was pretty protected with fences and security guards, that way the school had no problems dealing with the outsiders. In general, I like Hawaii's schools better.
