April 24th brought the opportunity to visit a local school and visit with teachers and students. I visited Colegio Tecnico Profesional de Guacimo, a school that specializes in sustainable agriculture, eco-tourism, and technical skills. The school is located on over 100 acres of land for farming, grazing, and reforestation.
Students go to school from 7am-4:15 each day. Many of the kids ride a bus two hours both to and from school while others may walk over a mile each way. All of the students wear uniforms and the style depends on the year of school and the area of study.
An interesting aspect of the school is the conduct grade. Students must earn a passing grade in their school and classroom conduct in order to advance to the next grade. If they do not pass this course they do not move on to the next grade, even if they passed all other classes.
We received a very warm welcome and enjoyed visiting and sharing pictures of our schools with the students. The kids also enjoyed getting their pictures taken.
