Alberto Torres is a Public High School situated in Butantã in the West Side of São Paulo. What is so special about it? Well, as of 2014, the São Paulo state government decided to make it a 'full time' or a model school maybe thinking about generating some 'good news' concerning the always-negleted educational sector during the general elections period that will start (September 2014) as soon as the Football World Cup packs up.
Usually, students at public Brazilian High Schools remain there not longer than 4-hours daily. Alberto Torres is different. Students arrive at 7:00 in the morning and stay up most of the day, returning home after 4:00 PM. The school also provide free transportation in the guise of some old school-busses that come and pick them up everyday in Rio Pequeno, Jardim João XXIII and other far-away places.
