They also like American High Schools, but almost all of them said that schools are boring every– where. On the third question about American teenagers and re– lations with them, they an– swered that teenagers are the same everywhere, and they understand each other much better than adults do. The fourth question was about their adjustment in the U.S. Most of them don't have problems with adjustment, but some students also no– ticed that sometimes they are homesick. All of students really like Del Norte, and the main thing they like in school are the teachers. Teachers are the only people who understand their problems and help them most.
