School in the past
1 Read the following information from a magazine article.




Oggi l’istruzione è obbligatoria fino a sedici anni ma nel passato non si doveva fare
la scuola media. I nostri nonni non avevano tanti mezzi di trasporto e molti di loro
dovevano andare a scuola a piedi o, se fortunati, in bicicletta.

Le classi nel passato erano molto numerose, e in alcune scuole si poteva arrivare
anche a un numero di quaranta allievi, quindi il maestro doveva essere molto severo.

Si studiavano materie simili ad oggi e le pagelle scolastiche erano consegnate alle
famiglie ogni tre mesi, con un voto su dieci per ogni materia.
