10th graders from Ms. Melo’s class visited the hub to work on writing well-organized paragraphs. They completed a graphic organizer to write a sentence in groups, and then designed their own organizers to match their topics.
Here are some pictures and samples of their excellent work–some chose serious themes, and others are quite funny!
The PSU system, in which Chilean students are selected to enter at different universities according to the scores they get, is a really bad method. In the first place, they determinate every teenager’s future, at a very early age in which is impossible to know what they want to do with their lifes. Secondly, it doesn’t measures all of the habilities people has, such as helping or advicing poeple, or others like running, strenght, dancing or even painting, which may be really important for some persons. Finally, because of the difficult that this test has and the importance the society has given to it, many students get really stressed and freak out at the moment of doing it, that they can’t express all of the knowledge they truly have. Therefore, PSU isn’t a good method to select students and it should be changed.
