Today I met Hayden at the CIES computer room. We talked about the education system differences between my home country, Sint Maarten, and America. We talked about standardized testing and how testing back home is more essay and open-question oriented than other tests I've seen in America. We also talked about how this affects how we learn or teach.
The most interesting part was how we talked about our own academics---we are both English Creative Writing majors. We talked a lot about the differences between American education standards, especially a transition from a potential home country to America. Reading is always a hurdle, even for native speakers. We talked about our interests in creative writing as well. The more you speak with a person from a different culture the more you may realize you have things in common that don't appear obvious on the surface.
