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

They either put out a water stream that's barely half an inch (1 cm) above the outlet, or they shoot the water halfway to the ceiling. So you either have to get everyone else's germs trying to get the water out of a little bubble, or you get sprayed in the face. Fun.

They are great and in Wisconsin, they are called bubblers!

I wouldn’t exactly call them cool. More like warm.

always

You've never seen a water fountain? I find that hard to believe. I'm in Europe and they're everywhere.

they ain't cool there's always blood or a spider in one

Bubblers??The Aussie word

They always break and then none of us get water

Never used them... idiots used to spit on the fountain.

Yes, and they deliver cold water

Cool but germ ridden ... yuck!

Yes, we have them. And I've seen kids putting their WHOLE MOUTH over the spout. Super gross. Do not use.

Some do. Ours were recently replaced with bottle filling station ones.

New thing in our schools, cold filtered water to encourage kid to usr reusable water bottles to reduce plastic waste. They almost all bring disposable water bottles to school. Not all schools have the filtered ones tho. It has helped reduce our plastic bottles use. It really adds up when that many people use disposable water bottles every day.

Never seen on at a school.

Yes, we do have them. They're nothing really special around here but handy if you're thirsty in a pinch.

in the age of covid, they're all shut off and you have to bring your own water bottle (theoretically full of water).

They usually don't work

Yeah and they exist in other countries too.

When they actually work...

wait is this an American thing? where the heck do you guys get water?

the lonely students make out with the nozzle

Yes but the water always tastes and smells like rotten eggs

yeah they break down a ton and they're usually really gross

Yes and mine even has a water bottle station

Yes and if you have ever drank from one you are probably familiar with the metal taste it leaves in your mouth.

One time some kids stuck leaves and stick REALLY in there and the pipe burst
