Just wanted to add a few things 1.) some public schools in America do enforce uniforms along with a dress code 2.) preschool for ages 3-4 is typically called head start (at least in my state) 3.) like everyone said the school lunches used to be good until Michelle Obama pass the healthy food law and it went down hill for most public schools but lucky for me all the school’s I’ve been to didn’t get affected as much by it 3.) in the states that do allow corporal punishment the school has to send a paper home for the parents to sign that allows them to spank/padal the kid’s if they misbehave

In the U.S. the strictness during class time partially depends on the teachers. Some are strict to point where they have the whole class silent and begging to go home, while others are so chill you could literally have a casual conversation with them during class (as long as you're paying attention to the actual lesson). There were times when my class felt like a sit-comedy show because of some of the converse we had with the teachers.

That just sounds like British substitute teachers, just last week one made us all sit in silence for the whole lesson for no reason other than she “wanted some peace and quiet” and a few months ago we got this chill grandpa guy who let us do basically anything

[@realmastersilver1849]

Coming from multiple states and towns where I studied education in the US, I can say that school quality isn't really regulated and sits on a spectrum where it depends on how much teachers are paid, how many students to class rooms ratio, all the different ethnicities, and it's relative safety. Going to schools from 2004 to 2018 I experienced possibly the most turbulent schooling in our time, with most changes happening around middle to high school. For elementary it was very safe, and the teachers actually wanted their students to succeed, and while the lunches weren't "healthy," they were edible and were relatively cheap. For both my middle school experiences I saw how schools ignored the healthy eating laws that Michelle Obama introduced (the worst thing she ever did) as for 6th and 7th my school was well off just doing their own thing, but for 8th I saw food quality decline and alongside that a decline in happiness and safety. As for high school, it was a shitshow, proper fights on the regular, the only food options that were available every day were frozen fruit cups and ordered pizza which they charged 4 times the price, and other than that they were offering half baked or fully burnt stuff, microwaved meals and most people would either bring food from home or go hungry. Only the older teachers were capable of teaching us while the rest were new hires straight from college. Drugs were a rampant problem bathrooms were more like fighting rings than calm spaces, and even having 3-6 police officers there at all times could not stop the anarchist setting. There would always be a hospital van there once per day. And even then racism would be blatant from our school website being hacked and replaced with slurs and other unsavory images. And to top it off the public high school was poor that they would sell small cups of water for 1 dollar and claim it was vegan (it was the hot dog water). I'm just glad I made it out of there at all.

[@realmastersilver1849]

And to close out the statement I'm glad that colleges are far better than the other schools, and most of this comes from the southern US, where they will still graduate you even if you fail all your classes. So yeah thank you for coming to my TED talk about how schooling in the US is most likely gonna destroy this country

As a English based student I can confirm almost every thing said about our schools in this video and to add something we also have school uniforms for our first schools as well as our teen years of school. My school had a system for the food you got so if you didn’t pay you got the basic food (pretty much close to what I’d consider left overs) or you could pay daily monthly or Yearly to receive specific foods. But most of us just brought in packed lunchbox food since the school also allowed that. 11:11 Brilliant video!

I remember almost nothing of my UK high school education. My memories of it are blurred, voices of teachers and friends sound like the teacher from Charlie Brown. I vaguely remember getting isolation for something and I remember getting out of a class early to play away football fixtures.

After being in internal twice, I can confidently say that it is underrated. A whole school day not doing much, idk if its just my school but the internal teachers just check if you have work, not if you're doing it. Honestly one of the most chill, relaxing things I've done. Also, if you're quiet anyways you'll love internal, the teachers are either messing with the six-formers or shouting at them, it's pretty hilarious. If I could I would go in internal again, but my H.O.Y said if I get internal 1 more time this year she's moving me to a new school. :(

I’m from supposedly the most yee-yee state, and my school sounds luxurious compared to a lot of other public schools. The school lunch is usually good (but when it isn’t it tastes absolutely disgusting), and there are six different lines, with a few different themes, and the pizza lines always serve the same kinds so there are consistently good ones. It has at least 2 thousand students, so you will find the right friend group, and you can watch the wrong crowds from a distance. Other than math, English, science, and history, you can choose the rest of the classes so that you can find potential career fields, and there’s usually one left just for fun. Even with the ones you can’t choose, you can choose how advanced they are, and in the last year, you only have to do English (sadly that’s the only one I hate) Edit: I forgot to mention that I’m in a class where I’m learning how to make video games.

For the “grade/year” system, the video was using, from what I can tell, English rules. In Scotland its slightly different, here, it’s from 3-5 year olds in nursery followed by 7 years of primary school then 6 years of secondary school. These are normally shortened to “p1-7” and “S1-6”. In the part of Scotland I live in you can leave in S5 and go into early employment or work experience. For lunches, we can go “out”. In our town there are many places that serve food and a couple of shops which means we are allowed to go to one of these to get something to eat. Most of the places are fish and chip shops because it’s Britain. Uniform is accurate, we must wear a uniform however, it’s less as strict, you don’t have to wear a blazer but you have to wear a shirt, smart trousers (pants😅) and black/dark gray shoes. That all I could see that was different for me and I am not totally aware of what happens for all the other schools around.

I'm about to end school (year 11) It's been vibes, gone to english and welsh schools, just sad corona fucked so much things up and i didn't get to enjoy the middle years of secondary school I think how i would describe british schools is that you'll hate it or love it depending on who you are and what school you're going to Gonna miss this though, there will never be anything quite like it again after this 😔

(I'm near the end of high school) My school goes from year 8 to year 14. In my High school in Northern Ireland the punishments are: A *behaviour point* for messing around. But there are also missed *homework points* 3 of BP or hp = a *break time detention* And 3 of btd = an *after school detention* But there is also a *year head detention* where you have to go into school on a day when the other pupils are off. (3 asd)

[@imissmymeow]

I’m my american public high school, because we are in a low income county they do require uniforms. Although people hate that we can only where certain colors or certain attire, they have become more lenient and allow sweatpants and leggings. School lunch is absolutely horrendous though.

[@SonicMaster2022]

In some parts of the US, elementary does end after K-6. Then middle is 7-8 (at least for me), and high school is 9-12.

[@JUNSKULLY.]

Oh Fr? I thought it was constant

And the school lunch is bad, but at my time, we do have the regular food that nobody eats and pizza hut.

[@DakotaofRaptors]

So in my senior year of highschool, my school district began to regulate a sort "off period" where students *should* work on homework or projects from other classes (of course most of us would just goof around to the extent we could get away with), and in in this off period I sat in one of the computer rooms. The teacher was a really cool guy: a young, muscular redhead with extensive knowledge on nerd culture. Me and my friends whom I shared the class with (and occasionally friends or friends of friends from other classes) would convene around the large table by the entrance, play games and talk about various stuff like it was a podcast or something, and occasionally the teacher would get in on the action: from spectating our games of cards against humanity, to fanboying (or fangirling) over the latest game or movie, the teacher was someone we all genuinely enjoyed being around; he was less like a teacher (although he still kept up his professionalism whenever the need arose) and more like a peer. Around 3/4ths into the school year, rumors began to circulate that he was a little too friendly with the head cheerleader, as he was also a coach. It got to a point to where said cheerleader denied the claims, citing the teacher as a good friend that she could rely on and nothing more. A few weeks after graduation, low and behold, a picture surfaces on Instagram of the teacher and former cheerleader huddled together, in swimsuits, taking selfies. It made local news and I've never felt more disappointed.

[@Flo_Resolution]

Actually in my middle school, in the U.S, we had lunch detentions, in the classroom of the teacher that assigned one. But if I remember correctly, I think if the teacher was absent or something, it's an in school suspension (isolation) in the office w/ sh¡tty food from lunch.

When I finished year 11, the teachers banned the signing of shirts because we went to a Catholic School and it was labelled as “inappropriate” because people were signing them while people were wearing them. It started out as a warning, but about two days after it started, teachers banned it completely and of course in ordinary secondary school fashion, we had an assembly about it.

[@whydidiwritethat8218]

Money is genuinely the decider here. At my private school, all of our meals are fresh and made by chefs (our lunches have won awards because of their quality). However if you were to drive out of the area and go to a public school, I've heard that they have disgusting processed lunches.

[@whyisyes3957]

Yeah one thing I’ve noticed about America is the private schools are amazing… public schools are an actual dumpster fire though and most people are often better off homeschooled

[@XoloYT]

We had "isolation" during High School but they didn't call it that. It's called OCR and it was mostly a joke. It's the same set up but there'd always be a security guard there and they'd walk out like 6-8 times during the time so we could go on our phone or do whatever. Most people who were there were on suspension (we had on-school and off-school suspensions) but I got send there a few times just for small shit. It was the equivalent of a person with an infraction being locked up with a 5x felony gang banger... like bro a lot of times I'd be like why am I in here 😂

[@hi_there29]

Love the vid, great points and comparison, but as far as I’m aware, England and Wales have the same education system, while NI and Scotland each have their own. They’re all vastly similar, but some differences I know of are that in NI you go to either pre-school or reception when you’re 3-4 yrs old, and start primary 1 when you’re 4-5. You leave primary school after P7, in which you’re aged 10-11, then you start at a secondary or grammar school for Year 8/Form one. You will then likely sit some GCSEs at the end of Y11 (10 in eng), but which ones you sit depends on the school and exam board. (AQA, CCEA and EdExcell are the mains) then in may-June Y12, you sit the remaining exams. After this, if you go to a grammar school, you normally stay there for sixth form and A levels, but not always (some dropout, transfer etc). In secondary school there’s more of a mix- some people will drop out completely, some go to the Tech and some go to a sixth form. :)

[@pachicore]

The whole uniform thing to avoid poor kids from being bullied is cap because you have to buy the uniforms yourself so the poor kids will have to wear their small ass blazers and trousers even if they outgrow them if their parents can't (or won't) buy them I think the whole food thing is also dependent on the school. I went to an academy so they got to spend their funding on whatever they wanted so the school got actual caterers for the food, and in London at least there's a load of academies idk how many there are in the US

[@sapien82]

I remember they doubled down on Uniforms in Scotland after the dunblane shooting , and said that it helps identify students and people who arent meant to be on school premises. and youd get into trouble for not wearing them.

[@cattysplat]

It's actually worse today because of the Academy schools trying to flex on regular schools. Now all schools have their own blazer with school coat of arms on it you have to buy.

[@janfgfdx5165]

Me on last day of school : can i go home now?

[@Ar_sole_hair_fiddler]

When I went to school in Scotland the levels of punishment would be: 1. First warning 2. Second warning 3. Isolation or detention 4. Sent to the subject head, which was like the head honcho of the subject you were in at the time, or even the headmaster (this was a lottery depending on how nice the subject/year head was, this was optional) 5. Suspension 6. Expulsion (extreme circumstance) 7. Police contacted (extreme circumstance)

We actually had some decent school lunches in the district I was taught in. Like, I really miss it for some reason… especially the Deep Dish Pizza from 6th-8th grade. The school I went to, you could get that if you weren’t feeling the other options, and make a whole meal on its own. After that… well, the food was still good, but High School dropped the Deep Dish Pizza. Different catering team, mayhaps? Also for some god-knows reason, we went from solid plastic trays to flexible foam trays… like… why? I guess it was a cost cutting measure or something, because they still had the places to collect and put those trays at in all my schools, but at the same time it’s really not a cost saving measure. You’re still going to need someone to clean the kitchen equipment. I only briefly saw them return in High School, but it was for the special needs kids…

[@melonlord7371]

something Id like to add about the british school system is it changes even within britian, Im from scotland and after nursery instead of going into reception we go into p/primary 1 and year one is primary 2 up to p/primary 7 which we change to s/secondary 1 up to s6

[@jackfoster4935]

My prom after year 11 was shit because my school were broke as shit. Like £500,000 in debt. However, I did hear about a party organised by the students (I didn’t get invited) that got shut down by the police before it even happened because how much drugs and alcohol were gonna be there.

I've studied in asian countries most of my life, till 2 years ago I moved to Canada, education here is similar to America, we don't have to wear uniforms compared to most Asian schools, the teachers actually treat their students like their friends, for my school we don't have a cafeteria we normally just bring our own food, and we can go outside or eat anywhere we want like in a classroom, or near your locker, it's less strict, and the education too

[@Jb-zw8ro]

Cafeterias are usually only in high school, so I assume ur still in middle school.
