History: the history teacher was demanding and she talked a lot. When she was teaching everybody was involved.

Modern Languages: Portuguese. It was an interesting subject. Everybody paid attention and enjoyed the lesson. We used to sing and learn about Portuguese culture and traditions.

Lunch: There wasn't a canteen in our school. We went to school only in the morning and those days that we had to come back in the afernoon we had lunch at home or we had a sandwich or some fruit at school.

RE: (Religious Education) We didn't have religious education because we went to a state school. In religious schools here, students don't have meditation classes, instead, they have "catequesis".

English: We didn't have French lessons at school, we had English classes. As the level of the lessons wasn't good enough, some of us went to private institutes, to improve our English.

Maths: Our maths teacher used to use the traditional blackboard, she didn't use interactive technology. We had to turn off the mobiles when we were in class.

Denise Pescheux, Luciana Massotti

Information and Communication Technology: When we went to secondary school we didn't have Information and Communication Technology because there weren't computers at school. We used to have "typing" lessons. These days Typing is an optional subject.

Some subjects as Maths are more difficult than they used to be years ago and teaching methods have changed.

Maths: At the secondary school the Maths teacher didn't use an interactive whiteboard and the pupils didn't look interested in the lessons. Mobiles rang in the middle of the class.

History: The History teacher had problems controlling the noise level, the pupils talked a lot all the time, they stood up and walked around!
