Description
Gaston talks with Diana Rivera about growing up in Colombia, South America and the differences between schools & education there and the USA.
A
B
B
B
B
Yes
and
then,
after
first
grade,
we
go
to
difference,
of
course,
so
the
girls
and
boys,
but
their
schools
are
together,
which
are
they
the
playground
and
it
was
public
schools
and
that
small
town
is
only
public
schools.
We
have
the
elementary,
please
call
elementary
and
bachillerato
that
is
together,
middle
and
high
school.
We
call
it,
but
yet,
but.
B
B
B
B
Wasn't
it
wasn't
no,
but
it
was
like
a
create
like
commitment,
I
I,
don't
remember
everyone
like
to
meet
the
school
for
a
week.
So
now
Fe
we
are
sick,
yeah
of
course.
Now
the
mom
send
a
note
or
order
I
feel
like
in
Colombia.
A
parent
feel
like
education
is
very
important
and
they
go
to
a
school
all
the
time
that
they
needed.
B
A
B
B
Of
your
Meowth
schools
meetings
yeah,
especially
my
mom,
because
my
dad
works
and
when
I
went
to
de
that
he
was
like
maybe
a
twenty
hours
apart
from
from
our
town,
so
my
mom
wasn't
sure
of
everything
at
home.
So
chichi
went
school
all
the
time
that
we
had
any
situation.
So
if
I,
what
grades
over
there
is
like
every
two
months,
they
invite
parents
to
kind
of
talk
with
a
with
the
teachers
so
give.
B
A
A
B
A
B
B
A
B
A
B
A
A
B
A
A
A
A
B
So
yeah
we
feel,
like
the
teachers,
are
more
in
control
of
us
and
can
follow.
What
we
are
doing
here
is
so
so
hard
especially
middle
in
in
high
school,
because
they
are
so
big
and
the
other
thing
that
I
immediately
after
a
month,
I
start
feeling
like
only
here.
Is
it
so
hard
to
make
friends
and
go
anyway
like
when
you
feel
I'm
not
doing
anything?
I
just
want
to
quote
to
some
to
be
see
something
you
just
go
and
do
it
in
Colombia.
We
do
that.
Oh,
we
called
hey.
B
A
A
A
B
A
B
B
A
A
B
A
B
B
B
Only
and
do
we
have
this
idea
and
years
ago,
I
think
it
maybe
six
or
seven
years
ago,
and
it
was
to
bring
more
information
to
the
Hispanic
community,
because
many
parents
has
a
question
or
a
when
the
first
day
of
school
and
a
little
things
that
we
with
in.
Oh,
they
already
know
about
this,
but
no
because
sometimes
it's
hard
for
them
to
to
go
to
the
website
or
to
contact
someone
to.
B
A
So
again
we
encourage
you
to
watch
the
unaware
on
nuestra
comunidad.
Tell
me
about
your
position
as
a
bilingual
facilitator.
I
know
you
have
so
many
many
roles
are
or
many
hats
and
that
you
wear
and
the
rest
of
the
team
does
they.
They
have
and
the
amazing
opportunity
to
work
for
the
school
system
in
assisting
families
in
our
students
as
well,
but
also
you
know,
conducting
outreach
events
and
facilitating,
but
tell
me
more
about
what
you
do.
B
B
A
A
B
B
In
calls
every
every
day,
not
called
many
calls
that
they
for
information
that
they
need
and
sometimes
I,
have
to
contact
the
features
in
bring
that
information
to
to
the
parties
and
well
sometimes
we
will
help
with
a
isola
students,
especially
when
they
are
new
in
this
country,
so
explaining
the
rules
and
routines
in
the
school,
because
it's
so
different
from
from
the
country.
Mm-Hmm.
A
And
so
you
being
for
or
you
being
about
New
York
Center
for
14
years?
Yes,
okay,
so
you
have
seen
the
changes
from
then
and
now
the
group
has
grown,
the
group
of
bilingual
facilities
has
grown,
but
also
you
know
the
diversity
that
has
been
embraced
in
the
school
system
and
also
the
the
cultural
dynamics.
You
know
also,
all
those
things
that
you
have
been
able
to
notice
is
growing,
but.
B
A
B
And
it's
important
that
they
know
that
is
not
only
or
the
the
school
community
know
that
they
need
to
know.
That
is
not
only
for
Hispanics
because
they
Hispanics
are
they
one
who
doesn't
they
don't
want
to
learn?
English?
No,
that's
not
true.
They
we
support
all
the
international
communities
and
that's
why
our
department
has
a
different
bilingual
facilitators
and
other
languages.
B
B
B
B
So
one
time
they
they
invite
us
for
our
like
family
night,
TV
and
I
a
someone
to
translate.
They
say
what
is
say
and
oh,
that
they
are
inviting
your
son
to
go
tonight
to
the
school
and
it
was
Friday
night
and
saying
what
are
they
gonna
do?
What
they're
gonna
play
something
they're,
gonna
play
games
and
so
packs
on
snacks?
For
him,
I
said
well,
okay,
something
deepening.
B
He
was
in
18
in
second
grade
and
I
drove
my
child
to
the
school
and
I
I
went
to
somewhere,
I
think
that
I
went
to
the
store
and
they
were
they
were
trying
to
call
me.
But
I
earned
my
duck.
Tine
I
didn't
have
a
cell
phone
I
didn't
know
that
it
was
a
family
activity
and
my
son
was
crying
for
an
two
hours
because
he
was
the
only
one
we.
B
In
and
then
I
say
no,
it's
important
to
learn
in
how
nice
it
was
if
he
we
had
someone
who
speak
our
language
in
in
that
school,
and
so
it
was
totally
miscommunication.
So
I
feel
for
these
parents
when
they
came
to
this
country-
and
they
didn't
understand,
was
going
on
the
schools
and
it
sometimes
is
hard
for
them
to
to
and
understanding
vocabularies
the
school
vocabulary
that.
A
You
as
an
immigrant
you
just
heard
with
us
that
Union
speaking
English
when
you
move
here
yeah,
you
had
a
language
barrier
with
the
school
system.
When
your
son
was
young
in
Virginia
happening,
the
schools
are
there,
but
then
you
motivated
yourself
to
learn
English
and
now
you
are
bilingual
facilitator.
You
are
a
cultural
broker
for
our
families
in
Anne
Arundel
County.
So
we
are.
We
thank
you
so
much
for
what
you
do
and
we
value
your
work
and
we
appreciate
every
single
thing
that
you
do
for
our
families.
A
So
I'll
call
you
back
key
to
those
years,
starting
working
with
us
or
for
Anne
Arundel
County.
All
the
schools
million
tell
me
about
media.
How
have
you
seen
the
media
developed?
You
know
from
then
and
now,
for
example,
your
show
isn't
on
Facebook
it's
on
YouTube,
and
so
you
do
have
a
Facebook
account
again,
it's
a
work
on
work
only
and
then
you
share
all
your
beautiful
things
that
you
do,
but
you
know
give
me
an
example
or
share
some
things
about
media
from
Dan
and
now
about.
A
B
A
B
B
In
it
we
we
closed
the
school.
Sadly,
because
there
is
no
something
and
we
had
to
call
each
party,
it
was
so
hard
to
reach
all
the
parents,
and
but
now
IPS
posting
in
facebook
like
we're
gonna
close
early,
because
these
things
in
they
know
or
connected
so
many
things
that
they
followed.
They
followed
our
Twitter's
and
I,
think
the
easiest
school
has
Twitter
and
there's
so
many
resources
that
we
have
photos
and.
A
I
think
our
parents
are
immigrant
parents,
they're
not
used
to
participating
in
school
events.
You
know
it
could
be
a
cultural
thing
or
just
did
not
take
they're
just
not
used
to
it,
but
here
you
know
they
learn
to
be
more
engaging
to
participate
and
volunteering
or
field
trips
accompanying
their
child's
or
students.
A
Connected
via
voice
masters
as
well
or
emails,
so
I
think
parents
are
more
in
true
I'm,
okay,
if
I,
if
I
make
progress
in
having
a
cell
phone
or
having
a
social
media
application
next
Twitter
or
Facebook
or
Instagram
I.
Think
that
when
you,
you
know
when
you're
here
in
the
United
States
you
have
to
adjust,
like
you
said,
you
know,
I
didn't
know
anything
or
I
didn't
know
anyone
so
I
have
to
learn
so
I
think
we
are
just
you
know
like
okay.
A
B
A
A
Finances
to
get
applications,
and
that's
wonderful
again-
is
adjusting
adjusting
to
a
new
culture
and
that
might
not
be
needed
in
their
country
not
having
a
cellphone
or
not
even
having
access
to
an
application.
Such
Twitter
or
Facebook.
But
here
you
know,
is,
is
great
that
they
quickly
adjust
or
acclimate
themselves.
You
know
in
other,
more
common
things
that
we
do
here
and
that's
great
because
connects
them
better
to
our
schools
and
our
school
system
and
what's
going
on
in
the
community,
and
they
are
more
in
touch
with.
