Today we have gone to the museum of education, which is on the Complutense University. It has been so interesting because we have seen lot of things that were so interesting like methods that where used in the schools many years ago. Then, we have gone to another room there we have seen some things about Monessori like the practical things they used such as the bottles with different smells. Also we have seen things like how students studied the different parts of the world . Finally, weh have seen the rules of teachers in the past, they were really hard, specially for women.
