I survived the visit to my old school. The new building is wonderful, I'm a bit envious. But the teachers are still as insane as ever. Yes, it's one of the best schools in Milan, but get the fuck over yourself. It's just a high school, not fucking MIT. Just to give you an idea of what pompous pricks some of my teachers were: first day of school, my Italian and Latin teacher told us we should feel superior to the losers attending the school two streets away, because our school was the best in Milan. WTF? I'm so glad my boss and I only spoke to the principal and the person in charge of the exchange programs, if I met that teacher I would probably insult her.

Going there brought back a lot of bad memories I didn't want to remember. But I'd love to meet my old history and philosophy teacher, he was one of the few teachers who really loved his job and it showed.

Wow. That's never a good sign when a teacher tells their students they should feel superior for any reason.

Sorry the visit brought back such bad memories! {hugs}

Looking back I feel really tempted to go to my old school and have some strong words with some of my former teachers too. XD

I have to admit my school probably is the best one in Milan as far as foreign languages are concerned, but I really can't stand that attitude. And it's quite common in certain schools. The school system here is very different from the one in the States and there are still schools that are considered "superior" to others, mainly the ones that focus on humanities or science, because the former were traditionally attended by people who went on to university. And yes, my school is one of those.
