I don’t ever know what A levels etc. are. One of these days I need to look it up.

mine starts at 8:00 till 3:00

Yes, but the cheerleaders were just normal students, not stuck up and they didn't wear their uniforms in class.

Yes, because if you're in the hall without one, then you MUST be commiting murder (Sarcasm lads)

In Sweden it starts in august and ends in june. Nothing odd about it, to me.

Yep and we decorate them too!

Yes, don't you?

They used to have E as a failing grade, but people thought it meant Excellent, so they changed it to an F.

Yep, even a snowboard & skiing club in the Midwest.

Wait, don't all schools have cafeterias? Where do you eat your lunch?

Yes sadly

Canadian here. They don't close schools in Canada unless it's been colder than -40C for three days in a row.

Because we put all our budget into our announcements and lockers

Because a gallon would be too heavy on the lunch tray.

They aren't cool it sucks

I wish I had school lunch that good

Yep. ours was awesome!

Yes, teachers want you in class to learn, not loitering in the bathroom.

yep...at least in the suburbs because most of us start driving at 16

If nothing else the teachers need somewhere to park

Our high school parking lot was so big it was a common place for people to practice maneuverability or parallel parking for their driving test. It held at least 200 cars.

Yes.....is this not a thing anywhere else?

Americans are more individually dependent upon cars than most countries. This is not news. We also have dedicated parking lots for restaurants, public parks, libraries and all kinds of other facilities which might not have them in countries with stronger public transport systems.

Yes, where else would people park?

I went to a school where it is a mud pit in the fall

YUP!

Not that many young people drive cars to school here in fact very few. Most get their driver's license at 17 then if lucky a car. No special parking spots are allocated for students like in the US. Our road rules are stricter too.

yup. teachers/visitor parking, bus parking, and then student parking.

Where are we supposed to park?

Just like how we can't FATHOM a world where we could live WITHOUT OUR CAR!!!

Yes, for staff, parents, and when the older kids start to get to driving age for them.

Where else would the kids park?

Yes. Smaller for primary, elementary and middle school because it’s only the teachers, staff and parent volunteers but high school has large ones since many juniors and seniors drive themselves to school.

yes, going to a larger high school we did have a decent size parking lot

Well, they probably do if they have lots of students old enough to drive.

Staff and older students with cars gotta park somewhere!

Two kids in 8th grade would drive their dads truck to school. we're able to get a drivers license pretty young.

This one confuses me, where else would people park?

where else would I park my car after I drive to school?

Yeap...and you have to pay a fee to park in the lot!

no we dont

yeah. ours is small, but teachers need them, parents need them for dropping stuff off, the Robotics team needs it...

Yes and the seniors sometimes get first choice of where to park. We have our seniors and juniors park in the front and our sophomore’s park in the back with the teachers. So many students have cars and need to drive to school and then go to work afterwards that American schools provide parking. This would not be true in urban areas like New York city.

Every school I went to, even the K-12, had a parking lot. All my schools offered Drivers Ed too.

Yes

Uhhhh yes

Where else will the teachers and students over 16 park?

Yes, don't have public transportation that is worth a d*mn. Teachers and some students drive to school.

yeah alot of kids get drivien to school

Yes

one word to answer this- ICE

To be very honest, I'm English and I usually do page count rather than word count
