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

one word to answer this- ICE

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

yeah i wondered this and are the woman stale or something lol

my elementry did

My German school did this too. Why not?

We had a rope but never used it.

Some do.

some do

Yeah and I actually liked it. I got to look down on the plebians below me (joking most kids were pretty nice)

not in my school

They didn't make you try to climb a rope? It was funny, I think only one guy from whole class pulled it.

Not anymore they got rid of them in my 3rd grade. Too many broken bones and concussions

I think they have the sports criteria for students here as well, also swimming athletics and ball game sports as tennis and football for the ones who enjoy those sports. We would have much the same criteria as any other in PE

I had to at school I’m Scotland. It was the 80s though.

They used to. I don't know about today. I know in MY gym class most of the girls could outclimb the boys 2:1.

it's exercise besides it gets you use to it just in case you go to Army boot camp lol

Yes.

Man of them do. It's part of physical education class. Sports are part of the school curriculum unlike in many countries such as in Europe where sports are extracurricular and parents have to pay for their children to participate in those activities.

Do you have a better way of humiliating fat kids?

no

No, not a thing in all American schools

Mine didn't....thank heavens!

It depends on the school.

nope, never

Most PE classes are a joke these days, a lot of the teachers are pulled off the streets and have no business being without 20 miles of a school.

In Lithuania we also had/have this

Depends on their P.E. Program, and what equipment they put there

I was very good at that in my secondary school. Gymnastics was one of the few physical exercises that I enjoyed.

My Primary school did.

not in my school.....

Yeah. "We can climb fall from a giant rope but we can't run in the halls" -Jim Gaffigan.

We have a climbing wall.

I've (gladly) never had to do that

Yup, and it is hard!
