Maybe you are thinking about disabled children when you read "Special School". But no, I don't mean a school for the disabled children but a school for the special children- highly gifted. Currently, I am studying in a special school, Science and Technology Education Center. This is a school for children who is described as "bright".
I am not boasting but this school is really different from others. And let me tell you, this school is a public school supported by the government. But it has a big difference from other public schools. Public schools usually carry 8 subjects. But in STEC, we have 10 subjects. Public schools end their class at 4:30 pm. But STEC ends at 6:00 pm.
What's more special in this school? Teachers in STEC focus in training the students to talk in front of many people and develop confidence. This school is also very advance in their lessons. Students who graduate from this school usually takes college an easy level. Since STEC has already trained them to cope up with lessons that are very advance in each level, alumnae comments on college as "chicken".
The training in this school is very intense. With homeworks everyday, projects to be passed on deadlines and groupworks to be presented, students can also consider Saturday as a classday. In order to stay in this school, you must maintain at least an 85 average grade at the end of the schoolyear.
