I want to learn about russian school system, and how different, or similar, it is from americas. I really would prefer opinions from a younger population, also on what teenager do and there customs. I am doing a report and i would really appreciate anybodys help. thanks you.
I don't know how many young Russians you will find on this forum, benace041. They are all busy drinking. On this forum only the sober (older) Russian population visits.

I guess, like most of Europe, its harder than american school, and children who participate generally come out knowing more than western kids, but, anyways.
Im pretty sure its like you have diff classes every day, more work, longer work, harder work. And instead of graduating when ur like 18, u graduated at like 16 or 17. I think...
Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!
They watch MTV and ride skateboards/snowboards and all look like Fred Durst to me

Oh thats fine. Really if you went to school i like to hear from you. Is there any main difference from Russian school the american. do they hit childeren there when they misbehave, what about homework? Do they prepare students for college? Is education a big deal? also is it ture that most russians know English and they are thougt in in school? I would really like to learn more about the culture, please. by the way my name is Ben. Thank you
Why do kids that I know do not drink and do not watch MTV? Am I living in a wrong place?!
I can tell you only about my school. First 3 years children have one teacher for all the subjects (except for music, drawing, physical training). There is no 4th form in the most of Russian schools (“1, 2, 3, 5…“ this way of counting seems a little crazy to me ). We must learn for 8 years in school but pupils may continue they education for 2 years more. As for final exams we have an experiment now called ЕГЭ (united state exam?). It’s introduced to prevent the corruption; people can send the results of these exams in any university. Of course our schools prepare students for university (though mine didn’t). The most Russians study English language at school (though some of them prefer French or German), but don’t know it good enough (as you see me is an example of it)
I doubt that many Russian children can tell about the differences from American school, just because they didn’t ever study in America. But here are some differences (I’ve learnt them from TV… or maybe somewhere else, I don’t remember): in our schools tests are used not so often as in American ones, we don’t carve frogs at our biology lessons
Sorry for the boring post. Oh, and i've finished the school already

I graduated from school long ago, but I believe, most of things didn't change. The difference between American and our schools that impressed me a lot when I was a kid was that kids in America sat one at a desk
In first three grades (7-10 olds) we had usually 4-5 lessons 45 min each and 10-20 min breaks. Main subjects were reading, writing and math. We also had nature study drawing, singing ("пение"), manual training ("труд"), dances ("ритмика"), foreign language (in some schools), etc.
We had 10 years school education, then trying to satisfy world standarts they just added one grade (11-th). But there was smth to do with kids who already were studying 10-years program. All this kids just "jumped over" one grade. So it caused a big confusion. And still though we have 11-year school system we study only for 10 years.
Something like that. I never understood it either.
Yes, I had jumped from 9th grade into 11th. It happened in 1990. Before that all pupils had normal 10 years system. Have no idea how it goes today. In my time all subjects were mandatory. You have no right to choose it for yourself. I remember one funny thing - nobody asked what language did you want to study - they just divided list of pupils in two and one half had to study French the others - English. In reality very few of graduated student could speak foreign language. There was no practical need in it at the times. Probably today with the internet and such, things have changed.
Yes: initial (4 years) and medium (6 or 7 years) school education is mandatory.
Normally from 8:30 to 12:00-14:00. This depends from how many lessons pupils have (from 4 to 6).
School year starts at 1st September to 31st May. Three summer months are vacations; there are winter, spring and autumn vacations as well.
"Physical culture" lessons.
School dinners. But them weren't free -- even in good old Soviet times.
As usual. In initial classes -- reading, writing, arithmetics, etc. In medium classes -- algebra & geometry, phisics & chemistry, foreign language, literature, history, geography, etc.
Obviously, depends from amount of homework (and how able certain pupils are
Yes, they do.
P.S. My knowledge in this area may be a bit outdated, so feel free to fix me.

5. In my school there were such sport activities as volleyball, dances and karate. We also had some circles (such as automobile modelling, folk art, beading, knitting and so on). In summer we could take part in archaeological expeditions.
6. School provides enough food (and it is for free for those who are poor or have no parents)
8. This is the list of subjects from my certificate: Russian language, literature, algebra, geometry, Russian history, world history, history of world civilizations, social science, geography, ОБЖ (it’s the funniest subject but I don’t know how to translate it), chemistry, physics, biology, foreign language, sketching, manual training, drawing, music, world art, computer science, physical training.
10. And who doesn’t?!
Plus astronomy, zoology, botany, economics... er.. something else..
Some public schools add their own subjects: I'v heard about school where first grade pupils study "Chess".
In my school days we had so called "shifts" ("смены"). Some children studied in the first shift and some in the second. The first shift meant to begin at 8 AM and the second meant to begin at 2:25 PM. It was something with our school being overloaded with schoolchildren. But I don't remember.
The meals at school were regular and free for junior grades and go-as-you-please and for money for others.
Usually, it took 3 or for 4 standard classes a day.
We also had short classes (for about 30 mintutes) when it was very cold and no heating.
Of subjects, we also had something like human rights and the basics of safe life. Sorry, I don't know what it can be called exactly in English.
Concerning the "manul work", I can add the fact that boys and girls are being divided ito study different things, boyish and girlie ones.

The same.
Younger kids (first 3 grades) study the same things - making toys or other articles from nature materials, applique' work, origami and even fancy-work.
Elder boys study carpentery, repairing some electrical stuff, lathe work (most popular articles were shurikens - when teacher didn't watch), and other.
Girls study cooking (while girls were eating delicious stuff, hungry boys had to boys make chairs
you've guys have helped alot, thank you so much. if theres anything else im willing to here it.
what sort of sport is most popular?
is there a high percetage of students who graduate? Go to college?
what is the subject in english?im very curirous, the funny one that couldnt be translated.
off off the subject...
what are the biggest misconception that foreiners have about Russians?
football for guys and volleyball for girls - at least in my school
yes, sure after finishing school (all 11 years) one can try to enter the university. College in Russia doesnt give high education, it's not prestige.is there a high percetage of students who graduate? Go to college?
what do you mean?what is the subject in english?
i guess about vodka, that it's national russian drink, it's not. Vodka is a polish word itself, and has nothing common with russian language except the same slavic root.what are the biggest misconception that foreiners have about Russians?
My experience shows that those people who learn russian, who study the language hard and speak it quite well and visit Russia quite often, don't have any "conceptions" well possibly cultural shock but only at first, but it happens with everyone who visits foreign country for many times, those who never were interested in Russia, can tell only what is said in news on TV, but this can't be called as "conception" or "misconception".

Rostova siad something about ОБЖ , whats that?[/quote]
That's what Rtyom mentioned - basics of safe life (ОБЖ - Основы Безопасности Жизнедеятельности, sometimes it's called БЖД - Безопасность ЖизнеДеятельности). That's the most stupid subject I'v ever had (we studied it at the University too).
That's political correct name for suject we had in the USSR, which was called "military training" or smth like that. We were instructed to fall on the ground when nuclear bomb falls and learned how to use gas-mask.
Those kids who don't want to enter a University or Institute usually graduate after 9th grade. They go to vocational-technical schools (ПТУ) and colleges. At the times I went to school they believed to be the loosers, so most of kids stayed at school for two more years (till 11th grade) and then continued their education.
There were 24 pupils in my class. 4 of them leaved school after 9th grade to enter colleges or other institutions of that kind, 1 went to jail and 19 enterd the Universities.
The most popular is SOCCER!!! And always was. Basketball, volleyball, tennis are wide spread also.
May be that all Russians are from russian mafia.
