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
