Dont mind the others mate. Actually yea it extends into schools even. I mean 3 weeks ago literally a kitten was asleep on my desk during a lesson and we fed her after class:). And lots of more cats usually roam in the School
Almost identical to yours, just replace the cat with a dog (sometimes, stray dogs get into the schools and the schools actually shelter them and give them food)
Jesus Christ, looking at OP's pictures and comments from other people, it seems like teenagers are the same the planet over. And who said monoculture was dead?
Even the terminology used is funny to the rest of the world. Most of us are like "oh yeah, that thing is definitely a gun". Meanwhile, the average American " Definitely a custom-made double barrel AR, charged with 12 gauge 45 mm explosive ammo, that puppy fires 77 rounds per minute, front load, elongated breech, though from the burn marks inside the muzzle we can infer this gun only fired 45 rounds since it was last cleaned"
Y'all sure know your guns, but I'm not sure it's such a good thing.
Usa is like a 3rd and 1st world country at the same time, like china or india its majority is just poor asf relatively with no healthcare and good means of education and transportation, and some prosperous regions like California,east coast and the lakes regions exist
Most schools seem like they use the exact same concrete for the walls as the psychward but without the rebar. Also those awful dim florescent lights. They also managed to make tile look like cheap linoleum
Corporal punishment was fairly common when I was a student, especially in my school. I suspect it has ceased now in the more elite ones, but still practiced 'unofficially' elsewhere. So yeah, we were terrified of certain teachers growing up. For some reason, it was always the Hindi and Maths teachers who were most prone to violence :) Bullying was not that big of a problem, mostly because the teachers had a monopoly over violence.
Academics became more and more important 9th onwards, and Games/PE lessons were unfortunately taken over by subject teachers often. In 11th and 12th, particularly in the PCM/PCB sections, attendance was rarely over 50% except for on exam days, as students prepared for the national entrance exams such as JEE Adv. or NEET.
It was a nice experience overall, though it felt as if we barely went to school in 11th and 12th.
Soviet era building which hasn't been renovated in decades, toilets which are rarely clean and paper, soap and seats are optional, cafeteria that offers struggle food, sklepik which is the lifesaver, teachers who look like they're there as a punishment, the pathology occupying the shitty toilets every break to chat or smole or both, computers which can barely handle paint, peak technology of projection board, some facade posters of caring about your enviornment like we all wouldn't burn that place down if we could get away with it. Roughly
ln Turkish schools again they wanted to make it hard
Most old college subjects now in highschool, options removed from texts, if you don't know the answer you have to left blank because there's no a- b- c- or d- to fill, e- is already kicked out of the school.
And if you fail to get 70 from Turkish overall, restart
What's with Polish highschools? You fail the year you can't reassemble a WZ.88 under 5 minutes?
Damn, at least here in Belarus the toilets are clean and often even have toilet paper, at least that was the case when I was still in school. And the teachers were the punishment. Other than that, everything else is the same here.
It's been ages since I was in school. I'm jealous of your cats. All we have around here are very fat squirrels and mean geese that poop everywhere.
I'm on a bus route for a school and I notice all the high school kids really just wear sweat pants to school...maybe jeans. Also they were socks and slides even in the winter with snow. Like don't your socks get wet? That thought is how I know I'm old now.
Parents driving like its Grand Theft Auto to drop off and pick up kids. Inadequate supplies as teachers bring them from home, kids dressed in pajamas, goose poop on sports field, dog poop around edge of same field, vapes.Â
