If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

"My school is older than your country" 😂
Sarah Jeanne my house is older than America...
Weird flex
But ok
Sarah Jeanne my turtle is older than America
I know someone who was taken to see the oldest building in an American town. Built 1920. Where we came from the "New Town Hall" was built in 1919. It was till 1990s one of the 20 newest buildings in the town.
Evan: Talks about the American School System
Brits: Slowly realise that America is much, MUCH worse than they thought
Ikr
*lives in America* I wake up 5:30am just to get to school on time
We already thought that they were shooting ranges, how can it be worse?
Tabitha Domino
It’s still way easier than UK
@@tomtom7350 To be fair, I live in the UK and used to wake up at 5am so I could barely get to school on time.
"You've never had a bomb scare?"
I just got a little sad.
at my school, there was a firework thing for a science class and so many people thought that it was a gun...
at the public schools in my town, they regularly find guns in kids lockers
in my school (England) we still have terrorism drills. but that might just be because I'm in London and we've had several threats near my school anyway.
@@jackkahn2532 WhaT!!???
@@amelialalllalala3914 i live in a pretty shit town, kids smoke weed in the hallways at school too, the teachers don't care lol
"You had to give up eating to learn physics" Is a pretty good explanation of American schooling if you've ever been there
Im in AP physics 1 right now and I regret everything
Dear Lord. I got an A in physics A level in 1966. It was the easiest A level subject I did. It's all just simple when you understand the basics, and the basics are just common sense. One of the guys I knew at school in England did 11th grade in the USA. He said that the level of maths and physics was two or three years below what he'd studied in 10th grade in England, but it was much harder. Instead of just explaining the principles and giving a couple of examples, they didn't explain the principles but made them learn formulae and complete around 50 examples. Brain dead.
I'd give up eating to learn physics. Although that may have to do with the fact that I like physics and am slightly anorexic-
W-what? NO! I’m literally American and live in Illinois, that is NOT a thing here.
@@mtndewmslayer2564 wait what I’m in Illinois and by sophomore year most people don’t have lunch anymore we all gave it up to take AP Chem
43 minutes per class, the other 17 minutes are advertisements
I'm dying lmao
In my country the lessons were 45 min. With 5 Min breaks in between and the "snack" break was 10 min, lunch 30min. People normally have 5 lessons in year one but by the final year they can have 8 lessons in a day
Hhaha
they prepping them for watching TV
😂😂😂😂😂
Evan: I'd have Physics at lunch but I could eat through it.
UK: Science teachers have to sign a legal document that no one eats / drinks in science classrooms
We are aloud to drink in science along as we aren't doing an experiment
US: Eating in class depended on the teacher and what we were doing. Most we're okay with it. Especially drinking.
😅😅
Christian Badcoe yea in the US we had to sign a contract that we wouldn’t misbehave, have food or drink, play with anything, or else we’d be outside of the classroom every time we would do experiments
I'm in the US and my chem teacher will NOT let us eat or drink anything. (Why she's so strict ab it is bc one time she accidentally put a piece of sulfur in her mouth while she was setting up a lab and eating Chex mix)
Americans: oh it's just a silly little POSSIBLE BOMB IN A SCHOOL
I only remember my school having a bomb threat once and that was when I wasn't in school because I had come back from a field trip in another state and just decided to sleep in that day. There was no bomb they just evacuated because someone prank called the school and threatened to bomb it or something to that effect...which is a little fucked up admittedly. But schools in the US tend to take a safe vs. sorry approach and will freak out over small things, I know there were stories of people getting in trouble for having cake knifes or for accidentally setting off an explosion in a chemistry class... it's insane
I went to school in the UK and twice we were let of school so a bomb disposal team could come in and get rid of a projectile from ww2
Happens at least once a month
Yeah it’s really something you just get used too, if it happens too many times in one school year they’ll stop suspending school for that day and instead just give you school delays though
2 people in my area called in a bomb threat because they weren’t done with an assignment
I just realized how weird it is that the US says the pledge every morning
Brain washing
I had a history teacher say "If somebody did that here (in Germany), you'd say that they're raising their child to be a Nazi."
@@amandarichardson9836 I wouldn’t say that, it’s odd but everyone just kinda ignored in my classes in high school and when you look at what is says it’s not that bad
It’s still really weird thi
It's very Hitler Youth 🤷🏼♀️
@@purplebrick131 yup, when he said 'you didn't do any pledge?' I thought, hm, my grandparents did that.. in nazi germany 😬
America: Bomb scares
Britain: science teacher sets gummy bear on fire
bomb threats were very common. At my high school some idiot would always write it somewhere where everyone could see and then the school had to be shut done for an hour or so. It was so dumb that after awhile it just became so routinely. I'd be more worried if it was a shooting threat than a bomb threat.
Don’t forget school shootings and teachers having guns
@@Kai-cu4cw Not all states actually allow teachers to carry guns. In fact, I would say very few do. Florida is the ine that comes to mind.
I mean, I’m from America and my chemistry teacher set a gummy bear on fire
Suga Kookies sounds fun I wanna try it
I live in England, and the closest thing to a 'bomb scare' my school ever had was when some idiot set fire to a jelly bean with a Bunsen burner and we all had to evacuate 😂
Oh my word thats hilarious 😂😂
That is so so funny😂😂😂
Esme O'Friel we have the same name
Ive never really met people with the same name as me 😂
Hello other Esme
Esme O'Friel 😹😹 we have lockdown but we all have to evacuate whenever someone sprays an aerosol as the alarms are dodgy
“The most terrifying thing that happened at my school was when a dinner lady set fire to an oven”
Something similar happened at my primary school a teacher burnt toast and the fire alarms all went off
Omg that happened to me at primary school too
megan lynn SAMEEEEEEEE Ms.Waterman rlly was wildin’
The drama kids started 2 fires in the theater and it almost burnt down, both times. 🙃

I once did knitting during primary
I did sewing and knitting in primary and I did tv club but secondary don’t have fun clubs
we always got kicked out our form room cos there was SpAnISh kNitTiNg cLuB
I did knitting in primary school, we’d make blankets for those in need and hats for nicu babies!
@@charlottefaye86 I had a sewing class in high school for an elective.
America has 50 states. Each state is divided into different counties. Each county decides how they want their schools to function
Rahim Ghafoory
And there’s more than 20 counties in each state on average
Also it depends on the city/ school district.
Yea mine has 6 periods
Finally! Thank you for explaining it so well! I was a little frustrated at first
It also depends on the country law
Best quotes of the whole thing
“You could leave!!!”
“You start at like 4 in the morning”
“I did knitting”
“We had bomb scares”
“You never had a bomb scare?”

America: religiously does the pledge everyday
Britain: you’re supposed to do a prayer everyday but it doesn’t matter if you don’t do it
We don't do that I don't think anyone dose that in my school in in Britain
yeah I've never done the Lords prayer in school. maybe in catholic schools but nowhere else
What is this brainwashing pledge
Only in catholic/christian schools....
In public schools in the US they are legally supposed to do the pledge but you can’t force a kid to do it but none of my schools ever did it.
this just shows how many regional differences there are because even though I am Scottish, Corey’s school seems like a different world lmao.
Not exactly regional differences, but different Local Authorities (32 in all). State Schools in Scotland are the domain of the Local Authority rather than the central/devolved government. Now, the courses they teach are all provided by the Scottish Qualifications Authority exam board (who are the only exam board in Scotland). Independent privately run Schools come under a different umbrella and are seperate, generally running themselves. In England, it used to be this until 1998 when they introudced schools run by the central government, since the government can throw more money per student at the problem then. They also have 4 exam boards, allowing schools to choose the courses they teach.
To be fair Corey went to private school (went to the same school only way I know that aha) so it might be a bit different
“Don’t drink alcohol and stuff”

FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHELETS is quite possibly the best thing I have ever heard of
We had FCA and FCS (S for students) at one school. It was in this one town where almost everything was Christian-centered.
Honestly, I think most kids only came to FCA in the gym in the mornings because of the free, non-school food, breakfast.
Boo reliigion
“Play??? This is high school!!!” ... me and my friends taking naps and playing music from the staff computer in our form room 👀
My teachers were almost all fine with me and my friends doing whatever we wanted if we were ahead. I would stay a week ahead in our Calculus class and I would play video games with my friends who were also ahead. We were in the computer lab so we would play LAN.
MarziArts
Is that.....Matthew Williams I see as your pic?
And then there is some of my friends, the band teacher, and myself hanging out in the bandroom during lunch watching CZcams
We'd play cards and those kinds of games in the common room at one point there was this mass poker tournament it was so funny tho
We did just dance and stuff like that in our form room
"my school is older than your country." The only thing the Scottish guy has going for him.
And me. I am also Scottish, and my school is over 800 years old. So ha!
*Cries in the corner*
No dont cry my friend.
Mine supposedly had an 18th century killer working there back when it used to be an all boys grammar school (obviously, it dates back to 1510)
I think that's pretty neat.
Don't cry! At least you've got free university 😂 (I know not literally but that's besides the point).
...My school is 1000 years old..
Evan's genuinely surprised that we have breaks and time to play football at lunch time. My school twenty years ago had a youth club with a pool table and TV for breaks. It shocking to me that American schools don't have breaks or an hour for lunch

@@totallycrazystudios1801 yep
“this explains so much about how you are” 🤣🤣
I’ve been to two different American high schools, and they both treated classes differently.
School 1:
5 periods a day, period 1 is 45 minutes and you have it every day, periods 2, 3, and 4 are swapped every other day. Those 3 classes were an hour and a half long or something. School days were 8 hours long with a 30 minute lunch after second period and 6 minute passing periods in between classes. School started at 7:30 and ended at 15:30.
School 2:
There were 6 hour long classes a day for a total of 6 hours of school. These classes were the same each day, but might change at the semester mark. You would typically go to 4 classes before a lunch, then go to the remaining 2 classes. This school had 5 minute passing periods. School started at 7:50 and ended at 14:25. On Fridays, school ended an hour early, so all classes were 45 minutes instead - to end at 13:25.
it sounds like you went to Charter, or private schools
Imagine starting school at 7.30 omds
@@aiengeljayseelan3061 I know I thought starting at 8:45 was early
I went to a public high school that started at 7:35 exactly each morning
Corry: we had Xbox’s and a Wii
Me: all we’ve got is tables, a few lockers and a questionable stain on the wall
And all we Americans have is a hallway if you want to try and skip your classes
I'm from Scotland also and my school also had a couple games consoles BUT those were specifically in the 6th year common room - A common room only for pupils in their final year of high school. If was separate from the main common room for the rest of the school.
We got bats
I don't have lockers because I'm not American
I questionable X on a wall near the roof
Inappropriate drawings
Table drawings in science
+ So much more
Alpaka Whacker your school sounds like hogwarts I’ve never heard of a common room and the term 6th year in another school or from friends
My friend: I was a sergeant
My other friend: I was in astronomy
Me: I knit
When they all laugh together, it just sounds like vibrations, that's how loud it is with head phones.
“My school is older than your country.” That’s hilarious 😆
I'm just suprised that the things i see in films are actually a real thing in America... sometimes they seem so ridiculous or so perfectly funny that they can't be real hahaha
Some of the things for his school is different from other american schools
Don't believe everything in he movies though cause yeah some is true but a lot isnt
The thing is schools are run differently from state to state... then city to city. His was a rual city with different funding. When I was in school we had announcements in the morning but they were not televised for us to watch. He had 9 periods, classes, I had 8 and an hour lunch. The only thing that movies might get right are the facts that we have football teams, cheerleaders, marching bands, etc... but those are elective class you choose and some schools may not have them at all due to state funding. Typically we were allowed two other electives like career exploration classes such as health information technology, business, etc.... we have clubs some religion based, gender, interest or hobbies based. If you took up a sport or musical elective most of the time you spent time after school to practice for competitions or events. The way Even described it made it seem militarian lol I guess, in a way, I can see how that it looks that way... the whole flag thing has more to do with symbolism and history i.e. to remember those who died in war. Overall, it is interesting to see the differences and similarities lol. :)
Going off the previous comment, my high school was 6 periods with some kids (marching band, advanced computer class, and some sports) having a 0 period. Some people in their last year didn’t have a 1st period or a 6th period because they didn’t need the credit. Our sex Ed class was a unit in biology and after that, there really was no “health”. PE was only the first two years or one year and a super intense summer class. We did have staggered lunches though and the school across town had open campus lunches. We didn’t but I think that’s because we were closer to the mountains and we’d get fluke fires and random animals around more often
yeah, when it comes to american public schools, movies tend to be pretty accurate... some places are less cliquey though of course
*My school is older than your country*
Indeed.

“make it a great day or not, the is choice is yours” was literally the quote they used in my middle school…

Yeah my junior year we had a shooting threat during the graduation ceremony. They went ahead with the graduation and just had a big police presence. Fun times being in the band trying to play the commencement song while looking for a shooter hehe
We mostly had a lot of drills for what to do if there was an intruder with a gun. They took it seriously enough that we knew this was an actual threat the teachers were worried about
@@daniellowe4090 My school was once evacuated for a suspect device, it turned out to be a bag of cold chips in a lunch box.

It depends on the school district. In mine we only did through fifth grade (age 10-11)

I go to a school in Fife (Scotland)
I have Maths everyday
English every day but Wednesday
P.E: 3 times a week (One was in the school, one was in the outdoor gym and one was in the fitness room (that had treadmills, weights etc))
I have French 2 times a week and Spanish once
Health once
Music twice
D.E.T (woodwork,graphic design, metalwork, etc)
For lunch we’re allowed to go out to town after 3 weeks of being at school (though everyone went out on the first week, because nobody listens to the rules 😂)
Everyone had two class groups,
For instance, I had: 1.12 and 1G, they were called ‘practical/ non practical classes’
Our school is one big building, split into sections, like: A block which was English/ support/ health
B was music/ drama
C was science/ D.E.T
D was Modern languages, ICT and Maths
E was gym.
Our school has 12 busses to take people home.

I'm an American high schooler and at my school, we don't have every subject every day. We have six or seven periods (the seventh period is optional and starts at 7:45am, everyone else starts at 9am) and we have half the subjects a day for a little under two hours and swap back and forth between those classes every day.

every year our school has a muckup day where basically you just destroy the school because you don't get in trouble for it so basically the whole school is covered in loo roll and there's hot pie falling down the stairs every 5 minutes and there's paint all up the walls
We had a lockdown drill and one of my friends screamed and hid under the table for it 😂

I never knew how different school was in the US vs Canada, but I guess now I get the "Commonwealth" similarities! 😅
As a Canadian, same!
The leaving school during lunch thing is funny to me because my GF (who is from Mexico - where I believe their system is somewhat similar to the US) was shocked to learn that high schoolers could leave the school grounds. The first time she saw school kids wandering around in lunch she was very confused.
I don’t know whether all schools follow the same rules, but in mine we could start leaving premises in year 9 (about 13 years old) during lunch to go home or into town or whatever really. The right to do so was withdrawn if we were late back more than 3 times, or if we acted out and caused complaints.
I think it’s good that we are given a little responsibility, and it’s useful if you need to get anything like stationary, or if you live close enough to the school you can leave some of your stuff for afternoon classes at home, then switch out your morning and afternoon stuff over lunch.
That's still strange
In Poland in my high school (you start it when you're ~14) we've had the exit through changing room locked from 9 to 12 usually, but no-one cared if you walked out when open or even watched the exit
If it was closed then you had to go through main exit and you just had to was usually confront the cleaning ladies and give an excuse as to why you're leaving, but also you'd get floors dirty and I don't think they liked that

In my school, we had a club called Film Club where you sat in a room and watched movies 😂
same
I had a club called movie club, but instead of watching them we made them, and then watched them. The cringe
Same but ours was an actual lesson, then we did an assesment on the movie which we got graded on, either you got a fail, pass, merit or distinction causs it was btec class
This club at my school is called “the teacher has no lesson to teach”
Same, but it stopped when the teacher who was doing it left
as a frenchman you guys talking about religion in school is INCREDIBLY bizarre to me. im from the only part of france where having religion teachings is even legal and still having religion in school as a club is unthinkable (excluding private schools)
wait what u dont he relgion class I'm legit in England learning quotes from the bible
@@2yeon yeah no, having any type of religion in SCHOOL goes against the constitution. Only parts of france where that doesn't apply is a region that wasn't french when the constitution was written.
@@Poupoulecraft oooh that sounds so weird to me
@@2yeon on paper it's to avoid any religious discrimination. If no one shows off their religion ostensibly no discrimination can happen, and anyone can practice their religion safely in the confines of privacy. I think the idea is good but their is a lot of discussion, especially among people that just arrived in France if this is really the way to go. But either way no solution is perfect.
This is strange to me. Like there shouldn't of course be religious schools that indoctrinate people in a particular faith, but religion should be taught ABOUT in school because it's simply an aspect of history and culture. I had lessons in comparative religion which basically was like part history lesson and part philosophical debate.
My HS in North Carolina followed the 7 point scale for two years before changing to the 10 point scale, had block scheduling, and was multiple separate buildings on the same land. We had three gym buildings, an arts building, and a main building which was recently expanded and added a STEM wing just before I started there. We had 3-5 minutes between classes regardless of how far your classes were from each other, around like 30 mins for lunch, and health/PE was only required one year and rotated every other day would either be health or PE. I took a more advanced elective PE/health class called strength and conditioning.

Very interesting! I enjoyed this video!
My high school in the US was like this
- 5 classes each day, all the same every day for the semester, swap classes at the semester mark.
- Classes were 1 hour and 15 minutes, passing was 5 minutes
- 30 minute lunch, the time depended on your class. Seniors and juniors got "first lunch" in the first half of 3rd block, sophomores got "second lunch" in the second half of 3rd block, and freshmen got "third lunch" in the first half of 4th block. During lunch you had to be either in the cafeteria, the library, or your classroom.
- Sign in and announcements began at 8:40am and ended at 8:55am, but you weren't counted late until class officially started at 9am. I would usually just show up to first block at 8:55
- High school ended at 2:40pm, middle school ended at 3:10pm, and elementary school ended at 3:30pm.
- High school and middle school kids rode the same bus, elementary school kids had their own bus.
- Gym was required for two semesters out of the entire 8 semesters of high school, but being on a sports team or in the marching band waived that requirement
- Sex education and consumer sciences (don't do drugs, be mindful about alcohol, don't waste your money, how to change a tire, how to cook basic meals) all happened in 8th grade (age 13-14)
- the school didn't have a "common area" but we did have a courtyard open to seniors, with tables, a big green, and a basketball hoop. You could go during lunch, during free block, or if you finished classwork early
- 1 Free Block was available to juniors. You could take it in 1st block or 5th block, to have the freedom to come to school late, leave school early, go take a university class at a nearby campus, get a job or internship for school credit, student aide a freshman class, go to gym or library, or just hang out in the courtyard. You had to have all of your freshman and sophomore classes completed, and also be passing all of your Junior classes.
- 2 free blocks were open to seniors. Same deal as junior free block, but you could choose whichever blocks you wanted to be free. I had free block my senior year in 4th and 5th block, so I left school at just after noon and went to an internship with an adventure company.
- Clubs happened on "club day" which was once a month during school. The whole day was for clubs. Clubs could also meet after school more frequently, but "club day" allowed students who had to be home or at work to still explore things outside of "normal" school.
- Math and English were required every semester, every year.
- Science was required for three years (six semesters)
- Music, art, drama, choir, or creative writing were required for two semesters.
- history was required for two semesters
- The school building was one very large 3-story building in a sort-of hexagon shape. Each hall housed a certain subject, and were sort-of separated by grade/class, but not really.
- my high school had about 2,000 students
- we had three levels of classes. General, Advanced, and AP/IB. General gave you one credit/one semester's count per class, advanced gave you 1, 1.5, or 2 semester's count per class depending on your grade. AP and IB were college prep. The teachers lectured, the classes were very heavy on reading, and there was the optional AP or IB exam at the end, which, depending on your score, could give you college credit.
So yeah. I feel like my education in a public high school was pretty decent. Except for a few teachers, my teachers encouraged students to create their own opinions and think freely. I felt prepared for university and because of the free blocks, had a sort of idea of what I liked to and what sort of jobs I liked and wanted to pursue in uni.
(I had a good mix of general, advanced, and AP classes, free blocks, and extracurricular track team and marching band)
“You won’t have maths everyday”
Me: has maths everyday
Yeah, we had at least one math class per day. But our schedules weren't structured like those peoples.
When I was in High School (going back a few years) I had Maths either 4/5 days a week and at least one of those was a double lesson.
Johan Halvarsson we have it 5 times a week but 1 is a double lesson so we have 1 day without maths. Also we have 6 periods and a 45 minutes lunch

Bruh the school I went to in cali had over 3000 some odd kids and we all had one lunch. Which was normal and what I found weird to me was when I moved to ari and they had 3 different lunches with only 1000 kids and called themselves a large school, and I was like whut?
I'm pretty late to the party, but this was really interesting from the perspective of someone who did British private school, getting a proper insight into the differences between not just the three discussed school types but also comparing them to my own experiences and seeing the differences.

Yep. I'm an army brat so I've lived all over and every single one if the schools I went to have been different.
In California - I had 6, 1 hour classes and an hour lunch on an open campus. (Plus a 7am 0 period but that's optional)
In Indianapolis - I had 7, 40 minute classes, & 2, 15 minute breaks & a 40 minute lunch on a closed campus. I stopped taking PE after sophomore year because I was in band and it counted as physical ed credit.
Im from Germany (Bavaria) and the scariest thing that happened at my school was when we had an amoc alarm bc of an electrical issue (our school was being renovated and some electricians caused the alarm to go off) and we thought for 2 hours that there was a shooter in the building. Not sth I want to experience again.
My school in Scotland had a bomb scare once. Someone didnt study for a test and so emailed the school saying he was too scared to go in because of a suspecious packet.
Next minute like 50 police cars and army show up lol
I was at one of the larger UK schools. We had lunch kinda-split. One of the keystages could use the cafeteria for the first half of lunch hour and the other one went after (just helped spread the load better). Sixth form seemed to finish lessons 10/15 minutes early so could be done by the time others came out. We also had free periods so could eat lunch in the common room.
In the United States each state has a different school system. It’s similar but complicated
Not even each state. There's an overarching state curriculum, but each city in California has its own school district. Even the small towns decide however to do the state curriculum on their own.
Yea in every state and in every school district it’s different but similar at the same time
Noelle 9 I know the Texas part is true I am from there

I lunch A and Ilunch B
If your failing a class u have to stay either A or B for that class one day out of the week for tutoring until ur passing
What even most Americans don't know about American education system is that there isn't one. There are fifty different systems, all with dozens to hundreds of districts and every single one of them sets their schedules independently of all the others. My high school had 6 periods and after school sports. The school where I teach once had four periods of 90 minutes (block schedule) and now has 7 one hour periods (with the first period or "zero" period as optinal.
Steven Brownfield Exactly I was just about to say this. My school has 4 periods each a hour and half long. From August to January we have the same 4 classes. Then from January to June we have different set of classes. However the school I went to before had 6 periods.
When I first began teaching (lo, these many years ago!) my school was on what was called "the A-B block." Week 1 was A week, week 2 was B week, and so on alternating through the semester. During A week, first and third periods met 3 days a week and 2nd and 4th periods met twice. The next week, they swapped days. It was difficult to get used to, and i prefer the "regular schedule" of 7 classes (or 8, if you have a "zero hour"). The one big benefit (to me at least, since I am an English teacher) to block schedule was that you could get through a play really quickly. Two hour class periods really power through a play!
Steven Brownfield That is a very interesting set up. Never heard of a set up like that. I did go to a school that had A week and B week, but that was because I went to a technical school so academics one week, tech the other week. Plus I can imagine how that schedule helped power through plays.
Yep. I went to a high school with 5 periods. two 43 minute classes that was either year-long or semester long, then 3 90-minute classes that were either a quarter or a semester long. Lunch was around 11:30-1 and was a half-hour long for everyone. My husband, who grew up in the same state, went to a school with 7 periods and each class was around 50 minutes long and were either semester or year-long.
Same in Canada. Each province has their own education system and, from my experience, each district or school board within each province can set their own schedule, as long as the provincial curriculum is being met of course.
Scotland
Registration - 8.50 to 9.05
Period 1 -9.05 to 9.55
Period 2 -9.55 to 10.45
Break -10.45-11
Period 3 11-11.50
Period 4 -11.50-12.40
Lunch - 12.40-1.30
Period 5-1.30-2.15
Period 6 2.15 to 3.05
Then on Thursday and Tuesday we had an extra period from 3.05 to 3.55. These extra periods vary depending on the school. Some have them before, some have them on different days.
For American schools it depends a lot more on the district and state and what not, in my high school we have it where it’s 7 periods a day each one is an hour long, no changes in schedule until halfway through where we have different electives and then half an hour for lunch and then there’s also after school tutorials if your behind on any classes.

Jacob Thomas-Smith yeah.. I am washington and I’m in college now, but my highschool had 6 classes a day with 50 min ish per class and about 5-7 between periods

1:15 - 1:55 Lunch
1:55 - 2:55 Lesson 5
Then we go to Period 6 (extra curricular activities) or go home.
You had Maths, English and Science three times a week.
You had Tech, Spanish/French, PE, Geography and History twice a week.
You had ICT, Core Studies, Drama, Art Design and Music once a week.
Keep in mind that some extra subjects you would not do if you didn't choose those in your GSCE courses. However, you have to do English, Maths, Science, History or Geography, Spanish or French. The other subjects are optional.
The single building thing in the US seems a bit strange because several schools in the UK aren't purpose built - mine was converted from an old manor house, but some were old convents, or used to be boarding schools so have really weird layouts for some parts where dorms were turned into classrooms etc
I live in the US and my elementary school was formally a paper factory, still all my schools have been 1 building. When the area's population grows too much, they might have a trailer or two- but that's it

In Texas I remember we had, 6 periods a day, and there was an A and a B schedule, although you had to go to English, Math, Science, and History class every day then you had two interchangeable classes that flipped between days. There were also special variants on Math, Science, and History classes (College algebra, certain AP classes, Dual Credit, etc.) that you could take that were only one-day classes which you could take for either college credit or just to get ahead in your credits so that you could have a free period senior year or take a chill class that interested you to raise your GPA.

Actually in America school systems depends on how much money a school is funded not all schools get the same amount of funding the classes that are available also depends on how much money a school is given.
Yeah, my school was heavily funded in programs but it's a hundred year old school so we still had hundred year old desks and chalk boards. But some classes professors from the college near by would come over and speak for the class or lead in a big project. I loved my school very much. You'd have to not want to be there to fail my high school
Absolutely. A small town with a military base will have the best schools because they get funded really well to make up for not knowing how many students they will have next year. One of my elementary schools had am indoor pool and a planetarium
Schools blow their funding though. My middle school wasted funding on these stupid registration cards for bus students instead of decent food

@@stpaley I can see that. I'm from a city that is very close to an Air Force base, and no one says it as a word, because not only are the programs at quite a number of schools in the area, we are also used to military acronyms. While there are some acronyms that are said as words, (J)ROTC is not one of them.
There are multiple options for high school where I live but most of them had block schedules. Your high school experience sounds like my Middle School one.
For the main high schools, there was A or B days and 90 minute long blocks for a total of 4 blocks + lunch. For the dual enrollment (high school + college courses) program I went to, we used the same blocks as the college we could take college courses at. Thus, we had one schedule for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with 50 minute blocks and another for Tuesday/ Thursday for 70 minute blocks.
The pledge of allegiance was only a thing in Elementary and Middle School.
Hi Evan! In my English school we have 5 mins to move between lesson/break to lessons and the day goes like this:
8.40 - 9.05 --> tutor/form/registration
9.10 - 10.05 --> lesson 1
10.10 - 11.05 --> lesson 2
11.05 - 11.25 --> break
11.30 - 12.25 --> lesson 3
12.30 - 13.25 --> lesson 4
13.25 - 14.20 --> lunch
14.25 - 15.20 --> lesson 5
15.20 --> home
However, on Mondays, form is 8.40-8.55, then lesson 1 is 9.00-9.50, lesson 2 is 9.55-10.45, the we have whole school assembly 10.50-11.15, break is 11.15-11.35, lesson 3 is 11.40-12.35, lesson 4 is 12.40-13.35, lunch is 13.35-14.20 and lesson 5 is 14.25-15.20 and on Wednesdays, WE GO HOME AN HOUR EARLY so, form is 8.40-8.55, lesson 1 is 9.00-9.50, lesson 2 is 9.55-10.45, break is 10.45-11.05, lesson 3 is 11.10-12.00, lesson 4 is 12.05-12.55, lunch is 12.55-13.20 and lesson 5 is 13.25-14.20! Because we're a Catholic school, we had to say the Angelus (a really long prayer) at the start of lesson 3 or in assembly on Mondays.
Also, Sixth Formers (Yr 12/13) had a common room with like a mini kitchen (mainly just for making cups of tea) and loads of comfy chairs to work, relax or eat lunch in. Sixth Formers could also leave school at lunch by signing out when they leave and signing in when they get back for lesson 5. (most 6th formers just went out to buy mcdonalds!)
