I'm going to try to answer your questions as we go along... Sports, there are maybe 1 or 2 females that do want to play football. Since there's not enough females that want to play to have their own team, those females join the males. That's an average size school I believe. The bell sound is for everyone to be in their class before it goes off, or you'll get a tardy or you might get sent to the principal's office. The bell rings, at the end of every class, the beginning of every class, lunch and end of the day. The desks that lift up, we usually have them in elementary school. K-5. Kindergarten through 5th grade or maybe until 8th grade. Lazy days for teachers = watching videos lol You'll have freshman lockers, 9th grade. Sophomore lockers, 10th grade, junior & senior 11 and 12 grade lockers all separate. Probably music class or a regular class you heard. That's the gymnasium. Gym class, basketball games, volleyball games etc... Cafeteria, lunch time. Cafeteria lunch is iffy..😂 Yearbook, pictures of the kids all year put in a big book for purchase at the end of your school year. Then everyone signs them. During summer nights, you'll hear locusts and crickets and frogs. Sports give the kids something to do. Very different world. Have a nice day

The desks that lift up and you put your stuff inside is in Elementary School. In Junior High/Middle School and High School you carry your books to class in a backpack. You have a locker to hold all your books and stuff. You go to your locker in between classes to change out your books and stuff for the next class.

@amberkinney6167 Ай бұрын

Yes, sometimes classes have the desks that lift up, but usually more for the younger students who sit in the same seat each day. Young students often have their name on their desk and keep their person pens/ pencils, papers etc., in their personal desk instead of having a locker. Often times young kids have a cubby where they put their backpacks and coats, lunch boxes etc. depends on the school.

We don't generally mix male female sports to my knowledge, but when I went to school, they didn't have a women's lacrosse team, so a female protested to play with the males and she was allowed on the team. Because of this, the following year, they got a female lacrosse team, and I was one of the first players. How it was summarised is that if they don't offer the sport for females, then they have to let a female play with the males. This was in 1994 so I don't know how much things have changed since then. They didn't want a female playing with males, so they had to allow it, which is why the following year, they gave us a female lacrosse team. I'm not protesting, I'm just explaining how it went down. That's all. I can only imagine that it's the same scenario with a female playing on the football team. School sports is a very serious thing here. Sports period. You should see little league 😂😂

Of course there was teasing especially from the boys but me and my friends and other people think he literally carried the dance.

Most schools don't have co-ed sports - they're either boys or girls. However, due to legislation (see Title IX), girls have to have equal opportunities as boys. For most sports, it's fine - basketball has female teams, softball, track, swimming, crew. But football is really "for the boys." There's aren't many, if any, all-female football teams. However, if you're a girl with a good leg and can kick accurately, they can be on the team, usually as kicker/punter.

To answer most of your questions: 1. The beep that you heard is the bell over the PA system. (Some schools have actual mechanical bells in the hallways while others have electric beeps like this one over the intercom.) 2. Depending on the school or school district, some schools here in America require students to wear a uniform while others do not. 3. My high school in South Carolina had about 1400 students my senior year, which was now 21 school years ago. The school in the video is in the Chicago area, so naturally it will have a much larger student body than most other schools. However, there are some schools here that have more than 3500 students. 4. The desks in my high school didn't lift up or have anything stored inside them because we didn't stay in the same classroom all day, as we would have to change classes. 5. My high school had lockers, but since we had four classes on one day and then four different classes the next day, most of us would have two backpacks so that we didn't have to deal with lockers. Each school is different. 6. AP stands for "Advanced Placement". Students can take these courses to earn college (what you call "university") credit while still in high school, BUT they are very academically intense with lots of additional readings, projects, etc. At the end of the year, students must take and pass the AP exam with a certain score to earn university credit. One of my university professors also taught high school AP French, and she said that some of the AP curriculum consisted of material that she did not see until she began working on her Master's degree. 7. Just because we're in America, doesn't necessarily mean that our school cafeteria food is phenomenal - it's not. 🤮😄

Desks: Grade school (1-6) has the open top desks like that, mostly because you don't change classrooms throughout the day. Highschool however your classes last 60-90mins depending on scheduling type. Lockers: Not all high schools have them or use them. My high school had them, but locks would be immediately cut off if you tried to use them (the whole anti-drug craze in the 90's). AP subjects: AP = advanced placement. It's college/uni level courses (and credits) while in high school. Buzzing sound: Probably a school bell. My grade school had actual bells inside the classrooms, but also firehouse style bells on the outside of each building. The whole neighborhood knew when classes were starting. In my highschool it was a digital sound that went out over the school's broadcast system. School sports: High schools are pretty proud of football, basketball, and/or baseball. They feed into college/uni sports teams, which can lead to more professional teams. Keeping in mind, I was in high school over 20yrs ago, some things have changed, but not much!

12:29 the buzzing sound is different at each school, ours had a bell or a beep but it let you know as warning that you have two minutes left to get to your next class and then another bell will go off to let you know class is beginning and then they do it at the end of class and at the end of the day

The open up desks were swapped in the mid 90s for what you see currently in the video. Chairs were attached to make it harder to remove them cause kids used throw them around. Uniforms are dress codes. Yes, there are dress codes based on appropriate attire. You can wear what you want so long as it meets school standards for what is appropriate.

In America, we always separate women and men in sports. The only reason she is allowed on the men's football team is because there is no women's football team. Not enough women are interested in playing tackle football for there to be a team for women.

There are semi-pro women’s football leagues. I used to play in the IWFL (Independent Women’s Football League), for a couple seasons. Even though it’s last season was in 2018, there are other women’s football leagues. The IWFL was a full contact league that played by NCAA rules.

@backseatdriver9576 Ай бұрын

Just about the only position that women play in men's sports is kicker. Even in high school, there are some players that are simply massive and powerful and would severely injure a woman if going full contact. Maybe some smaller schools you could get away with it where there is limited access to quality players, but in large schools, you have a ton of people to choose for these teams and only the best end up playing. Go to a football game at a large Texas high school and you'll understand.

Those skills lasted about twenty years.

That buzzer sound is the bell that signals the beginning and ending of each period or class. It sounds at the end of class, then you have just so much time to get to your next class before the next bell sounds or you are considered tardy and could receive penalties. High schools have two teams in football. They have a junior team made up of second years students and then varsity which is graduating seniors. Junior games always play first followed by varsity. Those pictures were amazing because this kid is in the yearbook "Tabula" class responsible for putting together the yearbook that the students all buy at the end of each school year.

Schools have changed a lot since I went. I'd say watch the movies "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" 1982 and "Valley Girl" 1983 to see what it was like when I was in high school. Those movies came out right before and right after my senior year respectively. Other great high school movies are "Blackboard Jungle" 1955, "High School Confidential" 1958, "Cooley High" 1975, "The Breakfast Club" 1985, "Lean on Me" 1989, and "Election" 1999. There are tons more of course but those will get you started and let you see how things changed over the years. Because you go on so much about how no one cares about high school sports over there you should also check out "Hoosiers" and "Friday Night Lights". Nobody does high school basketball like Indiana and nobody does high school football like Texas. Those two movies are great examples of that.

Each district has their own type of bell system... Some of them are just buzzers. The bell will ring to whatever would know. The class is a session... And that you're now late for that class. Class will ring again when it's time to leave the class... So you'll have bells between classes, one to leave a class and one to be in a class. Not all schools are this big. Some of them are only 1,000 kids some are even smaller depending on the town or city. Depending on state budgets, you'll also see a variety of different schools but different amenities.... I never saw one with tabletop. And most schools do not have great lunches. I think your lunches are pretty much what our lunches were, but every once in awhile you'll find some that put some interesting food in there...

Back in the early '70's, I lived in an area that experienced such a population explosion 4 high schools had to be built to handle the number of high school students that were at my high school alone. Over 12,000 students. My graduation class here, in Southern California, had over 3,000 students. My graduation class was held on the football field and literally was over 3 hours long just announcing names of those who bothered too show up. Not everyone attended. The university I went to only had 9,000 students. It felt small.

@MrJest2 Ай бұрын

We had those single-unit tables with the lift-up desktop in elementary school, but that was 40 years ago. The "beep" was the "bell" - the signal that it was time for class to start. If you weren't in your seat by the time it went off, you were considered late for class and could be disciplined. Some schools have uniforms, but back when I was in school that was confined to private or religious schools. General "public" or State run schools usually didn't have them (and yes; I know the terms "public" and "private" tend to mean the opposite in GB than we use the terms in the US.).

The high school I went to had……… 2 - Auditoriums. 1 for small shows or just rehearsal. Then 1 MASSIVE theater for the actual performances. 3 - full sized gyms with basketball courts 3 - sets of locker rooms 2 - full size outdoor tennis courts 2 - full size indoor tennis courts 1 - full size stadium for football games 1 - full size Outdoor Soccer field (Football for you Brits) 1 - full size Indoor Soccer field 2 - full size baseball/softball fields 4 - fully stocked weight rooms AFTER I left they actually upgraded the football field. They ripped out the “concession stand!” They replaced it with, what appears to be, a large restaurant. It’s only used for games. It has indoor seating with MASSIVE screens to still watch the game. The outside seating is elevated so you can still watch the game while sitting down to eat. It’s WILD! For our lunches we had 8 different sections to choose foods from. Like……… 1 line was strictly pizza 1 line was strictly the “nacho bar!” 1 line was like subway (where you can make a custom sandwich.) 1 line was just for hamburgers 1 line was for different types of chicken and shrimp 1 line was just snack stuff. Like candy bars, ice cream, chips, beef jerky etc. Then 2 lines were just discount options. For families that couldn’t afford the fancy shit the school offered they always had 1 line that had something different every day. The other was just for basic sandwiches. Not “subs” like the other line. I think the options were baloney and cheese or peanut butter and jelly. That was it. They weren’t “customizable.” I’m sure I’m forgetting something but I think I got most of it.
