Wait, does school in America always start and end at the same time??? I'm from Croatia and we have school one week in the morning and the other week in the afternoon. If we're in the morning we start school at 8am and if you are going to grades 1st-4th it ends at 12:25pm or 1:10pm. But if you go to grades 5-8 it ends at 1:10pm or 2pm. If you are afternoon and 1st-4th grade school starts at either 12:30pm or 1:15pm and ends at 4:45pm or 5:35pm. If you are grades 5th-8th it starts at 1:15pm and ends at either 5:35pm or 6:25pm but it can also start at 2:10pm and end at 7:15pm. Each class lasts 45 minutes and breaks are 5 minutes, but there are also 3 breaks that last 10 minutes and those are the ones when there are lunch.
What about the complete ban on religious symbols and clothing. In the fluid separation of church and state in america, its normal to see teachers and students wear crosses, hijabs, stars of david, etc.
Orals is a thing in Germany too. But it works like this: You get a random topic, prepare for it 15 minutes without any books or stuff and then give a short speech in which you answer each question for 15 minutes and then they can still ask you about that topic.
I thought oral exam was a stable everywhere, as a Turkish person I did not knew USA didn't have oral exam. Now i wander if they also have behavior points or not.
For the hours in france it depends if itq a public or private school (free or pay). In public schools its almost never the same starting/ending hour and even lunch time. But in most private school its the same starting/ending hour and lunch time.
Denmark has oral exams too! We get like 2-3 weeks of preperation of a subject that either gets randomly pulled OR you choose between 4 options to talk about. Then you can either have pictures on papers or you can do a presentation on your computer, and there's usually a time limit where you have to talk for x amounts of minutes and try to not talk less or more. AND there's usually a teacher from another school to make sure your teacher doesnt give you a bad grade because of personal opinions.
At least that school schedule works on a weekly basis. At my school (uk) we have week 1 where every day is different and then week 2 where every day is different so we have 10 different days on the timetable before it loops back around
wait americans dont have oral exams? i'm not french but im also not american and where i live oral exams are graded as part of state examinations (and teachers often do them for school-based exams as well)
The first one is false. Idk if she's taking about elementary/middle/high school or college, but for elementary/middle/high school, we do not have school on Saturday. And we do have school sports, it's just less common. A lot of middle/high school have sports clubs after school, and we can choose to compete.
My brother has school till 2:30 PM from 7 AM to 2:30 PM and he would come home and literally go on the sofa. Literally sleep now girl if he had school till 6 PM. He would be crying for sleep like he wouldn’t even eat dinner he would literally just sleep until the morning and then wake up that’s bad for him. He’s lucky he does not live in France.
in serbia we had oral exams, but not finals, you'd just get exams throughout the year (except in higher education, like uni) and your final grade would be the average of all the grades you got that year. At uni pretty much all final exams have an oral exam, but some subjects can have two final exams, one oral and one written
Oral exams are kind of common in European countries, they can last from 5 minutes to the whole class period, and they're also either scheduled or last minute

I mean, that last one is just a discussion based assessment (DBA) I get them once or twice every semester
Sounds like a class schedule I’d love

A lot of these are in Australia too, like the class schedule thing and not having sports leagues.
no the fuck we don’t??? School on Saturday is only for university students, and even then it’s usually optional

Id like the oral tests. I'd probably do well. I'm dyslexic so I score bad on writen ones.

The oral test is no different from paper tests they give you time to think
All those are here too in India
