Schools around the world

Wow!!!

In Singapore, play and music comes the last!!

We only get an hour of Physical Education per week and 30 mins of music lessons. You guys really must be enjoying life!!

Sometimes we can have the same teacher for 2 hours in a row!! omg, and you guys gett o change teachers so often...and from what you have said, it seems that you can chhose your own subjects you want to take up...but in Singapore, its all the SAME...

I go to school in Australia, we study from 8:30am until 3pm

I live In England, Im 15: my school is immensely dull, we study from 9AM to 3:30PM, but then we get coursework, so the "fun" doesnt stop there. Its killing me, slowly. Okay, maybe not, but its kind of harsh. We do ordinary boring subjects: English, Maths, Science etc. Not very inspiring. Im leaving soon tho no idea what I wanna do....

Im from NZ we had adopted the stupid english school hours!
We go from 8:40am to 3:20pm most days.
With 5 1 hour periods
a 20 min assembly
50 min lunch
20 min interval

I so wish skool is what its like in europe!

Well here in the best country AUSTRALIA we go from:
9:00am
3:05pm

Our school "Harristown State High School" is accreditied as one of the best schools in the world by some organisation that recognises the best schools. Gosh, i feel proud

930-330 at my school in sunny ireland

Well, in the Southeast USA(stereotypically known as the dumbest part of the industrialised world) here is how our school works.
Age 4-5: Kindergarten
Age 5-10: Elementary School( 1st-5th Grade)
Age 11-14: Middle School( 6th-8th Grade)
Age 14-18: High School (9th-12th Grade)
In high school, we go to school from 8:00 AM to 2:50 PM. We have 4 classes a day(unless you're in the 12th grade, in which case you can have less) for 1 1/2 hours with a 30 minute lunch. About 3/4 of your classes are required and you get to choose the other 1/4. After high school, you either do 1 of 4 things:
1. Go to a 4-year college.
2. Got to a 2 year tech school or community college.
3. Join the military.
4. Get a service or manufacturing job(highly unreccomended, but some people do that, especially if their family owns a business).

my school is almost the same except we have 4 periods each day. We alternate 4 periods each day. So we have 8 periods in total. The classes are longer because of that. Like an hour and a half. anyways I think we have lunch for about 20-30 minutes. We start school at 9:00AM and end at 4:00Pm. i have to stay after school sometimes for the clubs.
