Homework and Studying in Spain
Talk about homework, exams and marks with a school-age kid in Spain.
Spanish kids get plenty of deberes, exams are marked out of ten with five as a pass, and studying with friends at the public library is common before exams. The cards follow a parent and a twelve-year-old through an evening of homework, a vocabulary test at home and the exam results.
