I teach English at Olivar Gran High School

Here, you can study:
ESO: secondary compulsory education from 12 to 16
Batxiller: post compulsory form 16 to 18 (before entering the university)
Batxibac: the same as the previous one but in French, the students get the oficial certificate of both countries.
Vocational studies on Cooking / Culinary industry and management, form 16 and up...
Figueres: Here is where we live, study and work!!!
Figueres is the capital city of the Alt Empordà
And the town where the famous painter Salvador Dalí was born and died.
The funniest and weirdest excuse any student could use
"My dog ate my homework"
My dog ate my homework.
It's gonna be late.
I guess that the teacher
will just have to wait.
My dog ate my homework.
He swallowed it whole.
I shouldn't have mixed it
with food in his bowl.
Part of the poem My dog ate my homework by Kenn Nesbitt
