LINSAY, 13: What I really like about school is being with my friends during the breaks. But classes are fun and interesting too. For example, Music isn’t difficult at all. I just don’t like French so much because I don’t understand it.
I’m very keen on sports too - I'm part of the school’s basketball team. I started playing three years ago. Of course there are things I don’t like. Some rules are very strict: we can’t take our mobiles to school. I think we could take them to class if they were switched off.
STEVE, 12: Every morning when I wake up I feel bad, because I must go to school. Lessons are boring and I can't concentrate in class. My classmates are always talking. And some students call me names just because I’m very short. I also hate it when teachers give me lots of homework.
I never have lunch at school. It's a good thing that I don’t have classes in the afternoon because the food is horrible.
ADAM, 14: The best thing about my school is our school library. There is an area where you can just sit and read quietly or do your homework.
I’m good at all of my subjects, except Physics. I never do well in it. My favorite subject is English. I like the songs we listen to in class. I have English on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. I also have P.E. During the breaks I always go to the sports field to play football with my friends.
We must wear a school uniform every day. I think it’s a good thing but most students don’t like it very much.
