What don't you get? The classes or just the way high school goes?

Okay. so high school levels-of smartness:
in middles school, it's:
regular
accelerated
TAG
but in high school you choose between:
regular
Pre-AP(Pre-Advanced Placement)
and Pre-IB(International Baccleureate)
so that's it.

oooohhh now i get it!
You would think all schools were the same all over the world but they are completely different!
How long do you get for dinner and break and what hours do you go to school?

Y- you have an amount of time for dinner and breaks? That's scary.

......that is scary............it depends for me since I am really slow eater but........we don't have amount fo time for dinner and break.......we do have for lunch at school........and middle school starts at 8:20 and ends at 3:30. I think high school starts at like 9 and ends at 4:10....or that's when my brother says the school ends.......

:O
school starts at 9.00am and finishes at 3.30pm but at 2.30pm on wednesdays.
We have 50mins for dinner
15 mins break in the morning.

That is really weird, but cool at the same time.

ooooo cool! For us, there are three lunch blocks: A, B, and C. You have a different one every day.

We do? Never knew that before.

Oh. In high school. Not now...next year.

That is cool.

That sounds complicated! Do you have to wear a uniform??

Luckily, no. Do you guys have to wear uniforms? My guess is yes.

We have to wear uniforms in Korea starting in middle school. Luckily, I came here year before I went to middle school but my mom was sad b/c she couldn't she me in uniforms. In Korea, it's some kind of honor to start to go to middle school and wear uniforms.

Well, with uniforms, you don't have to worry about what you wear. That's one good thing about it.

We have to wear:
White shirt, Black skirt or pants, Black shoes, Black blazer or jumper, and a purple and silver tie (when your in year 11 you get to wear a black tie with purple and silver ribbon on it)
We get non uniform days sometimes but you have to pay for it and the money goes to charity.

That doesn't sound too bad though. I just don't like the way the uniforms feel when you wear them. So uncomfortable, but good at the same time.

oooo i used to wear uniform

No me gusta nada un traje.

I don't like uniforms. In korea, we also have to cut our hair to shorter than shoulder length for girls and rly short for boys or we ger like detentions and we are not allowed to carry backpack that's not black

That seems very unfair. Well, it is better than Korean school long ago, and I mean a lot better.

:O the hair length thing is unfair!
We can't have 'extreme' hairstyles i.e. you can't die your hair purple or red :( and you can't have a skin head either as it is seen as 'threatening'. No jewellery, no makeup (although most girls wear it anyway).

Yeah, same at my school. Well, a lot of people in this group go to my school, so yeah. ^^

Schools are becoming really strict, but then again, sometimes it is necessary.

I think hhair thing is most unfair in Korea. I like schools here very much. I think they are not that strict but not that loose at the same time.

um, what?

um..........read posts above..

Yeah. American schools are the best.

Yeah, good point.

Yep! WE rock!

Hooray!

:P *courtesys*

It's almost spring break!

yeah! Or as i know it - Easter Holidays!! or Half term!! lol

So much fun.

yep. spring break is not fun for me...:P

Why not?

b/c i get sick every spring break. I think someone poisens me every spring break. Last year was worst one in 5 years

awwww, i used to get ill every crimbo :( not good!
Last year was the only year i was well in about 5 years!!

Oh, I only get sick on holidays and weekends for some reason.

Same here. But still, I rarely get sick.

lucky. But i am used to it and so does my family

Yeah, I usually don't get sick that often though. XD

I have 24hour sickness it's wierd lol. I'll be perfectly fine the all of a sudden i'll be bed bound. then 24hours later you'll never even tell i was ill!

That's impressive.

lol

I wish I could be like that.

I had my tonsils out :O

That must have been pretty.

that's kind of scary...my longest sickness was whole week when i was 6 years old. I was in bed for whole week and took three days to be fully recovered. and last year's one was weird. I was fine and i even went to collect clams with sarah and i came bback home and went to downtown for my brother's Samulnori concert and i started to get sick and i was in bed for 4 days and i got better on sundat evening, right before school started again
