The only course that everyone has to take in my province in Grades 11-12 is English. All other courses are free choice, though you have to be careful that you get enough credits and that you complete the courses required by whichever University you're aiming for.
If school finishes at lunchtime, who looks after the children in the afternoon, if both parents work and no relatives are available to look after them? Do you have a system of after school clubs? If so, are they free?
Are you obliged to send your child to the local school of your catchment area (unless you're paying for private education) or can you apply to different state schools, choose the one you would prefer to have?
In school I was also taught how to assemble and disassemble AK-47 and also how to throw a hand grenade and basics of terrain orientation.Quote:

Useful skills in our times, wouldn't you say? :)
In my school was the same, where did you learn in what school?Quote:

Not bad school according to this rating - http://school.edu.ru/news.asp?ob_no=29297. But English was my most disliked subject because I wanted to study French - and they didn't allowed me... :)

and there I lerned French because my parents asked the teacher to put me in the French group, my both parents know French. so when they herd about this option they immideately wanted me to study French. So I personally didn't have any problem with studying what I wanted.
But it was back in 1t 2d grades so mostley kids didn't even know what do they want to study and they didn't realy care in what group they're going to be put in.
