observations

1. People in America like to dress like people in Europe to be a little bit different and more trendy. The thing is, when you live in Europe and you wind up looking like everyone here and not looking different and trendy. Now, what is trendy is to where clothes from the United States.

2. Spanish people use white out all the time. The kids even have little bottles of white out in their pencil cases for when they make mistakes.

3. This is probably because they teach the children to write in cursive from the time they first learn to write. Even a little 5 year old, who I tutor, writes in cursive and never in print. Also, the cursive they use is different. They keep some letters in print like the capital "G" or the "k" and then continue on with the rest of the word in cursive.

4. The students have pencils and erasers. This sounds like the American students except for the fact that NONE of the pencils that they use have erasers. Did the concept of putting them together not reach Spain yet...? :)
