School visit to Bridgeport & Brewster

My firts impression of the first city (Bridgeport) was that It looks very poor so I imagined that the school were look the same, but it didn't in fact I loved it! because I noticed that in the school they not only had good teachers but good facilities too and that is important to create a good environment to the students, I found that the teachers were more affective to their students than the teachers of Brewster, also I found the way of teaching were very mechanic (Brewster) not natural I don't feel the same as the other school, but the thing that I do remember for the Bridgeport school was the fact that they gave to much importance to the mexican people, but when they teach english to those kids they only had one room!!! (to the pull-out class) and they were all mixed together so you can tell how awful was the noice in there.
In Brewster, as I write before, I found the environment very cold the relationship between theacher and student was very poor in terms of that the students solved their doubts with a classmate or by themselves the teacher didn't play a main role, that is good in a way, but in this case with those students that really needs some special attention you must be there for them!!!, also I found mechanic the way of teaching with physical response, I belive that is useful if you plan it or if you create it in the momment, but not that useful or interactive if you only read the statement that are in the teacher's book (scripted curriculum).
I like the visit to those cities and I think that I am learning more things every day from here, ones that can be useful to put into practice in my country and some of them that I don't , but now I know that, and that is why I came here.
