School in France is about the most complicated thing on the planet. We have tests we are told about only the night before they are supposed to occur, and then they never happen. Another strange thing is the required materials. All of the supplies to the left are used in French class and most are only for it. French actually consumes 18 hours of my 25 hour school week, math taking up 3, English taking up 2, and PE 2 hours. We also get out at different times on different days. Not like getting out early on Wednesday, much different. On Mondays we get out at 2:50, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:00, and Wednesdays and Fridays at 12:35. Quite stressful.
Wow school sounds sooooo different! I hear about it a lot and I'm still amazed. I'm Sorry your having a hard time though.
ReplyDeleteWell, all I can say is that I'm glad that I didn't go to school in France. For you, the advantage may be that you will learn French from Frenchmen and be able to really impress your teachers at Terman when you come home. Let mom help you learn some math while you are gone so that you will kick *&% (put appropriate word here) when you come home!

Wow, the school in France reminds me of what my parents & grandparents say schools in China are like- really hard and advanced- but it sounds like you don't do so much of the " American basics".

That sounds really confusing! I wonder why its like that. Have you learned a lot of french yet? hope you can communicate well enough with them.
ReplyDeleteWow! I bet that's very stressful. I wonder why they have such weird hours.
ReplyDeleteWow Lauren, you get out early, but you do a lot of work. I'm glad I'm in CA right now. Are you having fun so far???
ReplyDelete-Misty H.
12:35! That's mostly a minimum day for us!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of activities do you do in P.E.?
Wow! that is a complicated, once you get used to it though it will probably get easier.But I still cant believe you have to spend 18 hours learning french!
ReplyDeletewow that seems like it would take a chronic time!
