Every school in the US is pretty different. We don’t have the same schedules or even learn about the same things. It depends on the district. That’s why it’s hard to understand our school systems

[@rockiistarz]

Yeah and it makes it hard to have an average idea of what they're like compared to other countries

[@hope3290]

Even schools in the same district won't have the same rules and schedules. I went to one school that did block schedule(3-4 classes some days, 3-4 different classes every other day), and another that had seven courses a day. Both schools were in the same district.

[@VictoriaOppong552]

@@hope3290 same. There is a school in my district that has 4 classes instead of the usual 6 like my high school. There was also another that had 10 classes. It varies. Plus a school in GA learns about Georgia history instead of history at a school in California. It really depends honestly where you live in the states.

[@demonseed360]

Structurally, the US isn't particularly homogenous in terms of culture, ethnicity, laws, or even climate to the same extent that many countries in the world are. That's why individually we can watch so many of these videos that try to generalize American behaviors and scratch our heads wondering what they're talking about. Even within a state, people from different school districts can have vastly different experiences growing up.

The 'shoes off in the house' thing really depends on the household. Every American house I've been to--especially if there is carpet flooring--has been 'shoes off'. The thought of tracking stuff in and having it get stuck in the carpet is gross.

[@lixdays]

yes I agree with this

[@livi1477]

honestly i don't really go over to people's houses that much, but when i was a kid we lived in a house with mainly carpet flooring and it was never a strict rule not to wear shoes in the house because we always took them off as soon as we could once we were inside. nobody in my family really likes the feeling of wearing shoes if we're trying to be comfortable so we never really had to worry about enforcing a no shoes rule.

And then theres the people whose floors are filled with debris and they want you to take off your shoes anyway and get all up in that debris with your foot. I also had that friend with the terrible foot odor, in which when she would take off her shoes and leave them by the door, within minutes the whole house smelled like doritos. As the person who cleans my house for my family, no matter how much sweeping, vacuuming and mopping i do, white socks always manage to turn gray when you walk around, so we have an unspoken rule in our house where we all have "indoor slippers" or flip flops that are ONLY to be used inside the house. It makes a ton of sense since indoor shoes never really get contaminated with outside dirt, as well as you never get that terrible feeling of stepping in some drops of water or into something someone else dropped. It would really help to have something like a genkan though, to contain all the entryway dirt on a lower level where you can have a shoe rack or just leave your outdoor shoes.

From the staff side, it saves a lot of 'checking around' too, because it's straightforward, if it lights up on your system, then you attend to them, if not, just leave the customer in peace.

A couple things that are different for me as a US citizen 1) We take our shoes off when we go into our house. A lot of my friends don't have to but its a thing my mom has made us do since I was young. 2) Smoking and drinking in school is banned and if you're caught doing it outside of school, usually there are no consequences, but if you're an athlete you will get thrown off your team. There have been two cases where people in my grade have been caught smoking. In middle school (7th grade) there was a guy who got caught smoking weed in the bathroom and he was expelled (but he came back 9th grade in highschool). Then when i was in tenth grade, a foreign student (I think he moved to here from China) was caught smoking in a teacher bathroom. Not even a vape, a real cigarette. We were all shocked bc usually now you don't see teenagers smoking real cigarettes. 3) I scribble on desks all the time at school. Usually i erase them after, but the teachers aren't really that strict about it as long as you erase the things you drew. Bathrooms are a different case though. We dont scribble on the walls cause our city just built a new highschool, but they hung up some papers in the bathrooms about the effects of vaping and one saying 'do not flush your tampons' and people draw all over those, cuss words and other stuff. They're fun to read I guess.

It depends on the country, cold countries tend to take their shoes off due to the dirt from the streets and because most of the houses have carpets on the floor so they will get dirty but warm countries don't, like I lived in Spain and mostly all Spanish people keep their shoes on in the house which I think is very nasty.

Lol, most houses I’ve been in had shoes off. I think it depends on the flooring.

It definitely depends on the individual household. When I visited my friends' houses in elementary school, middle school, and high school, the majority were 100% ok with wearing shoes inside the house or let me choose to leave them on or take them off according to what I was comfortable with, so I (who grew up with a Korean mother so I was raised to take them off) often had to awkwardly ask where I could put them. Some houses literally didn't have a designated place for shoes at the front door. But of course some of my friends did ask me to remove my shoes first. They would always say one way or the other as they were inviting me in the front door. Personally, it's no big deal to me either way as long as you know your shoes are dry/clean and you wipe them thoroughly on the welcome mat just in case. I can understand being careful around carpets but hard floors are so easy to clean I don't get the fuss. For reference, I grew up in Washington state in suburban areas.

[@statistical-cats-sophia]

[@FeatheredWingz]

In Canada: when entering a public business/building, you should glance over your shoulder when opening the door. If you notice there is a person behind you a short distance away who is also about to enter (less than 10m, usually), you should stand in the doorway with your hand holding it partway open so they can catch it themselves as you pass through. If you pass through the door and let it shut just before the other person is close enough to catch it, they will probably think you are a rude jerk. I've seen many older adults in my country give people that don't wait for them mean looks and sometimes curse at them quietly. So you should be careful to not let a door shut in front of someone who is close by. If the approaching person is elderly, has visible mobility issues, holding something big, or pushing a baby carriage, you should always stand aside and hold the door to let them in first; but I think that etiquette rule is more universal across different countries. But yeah, glancing over your shoulder for approaching people when passing through public doorways and then wait for them to catch up before letting the door close is expected etiquette in much of Canada.

I’ve lived in 3 different states and the school rules were all pretty different depending on when you went. There are public, private, online, and some schools start in August, end in May while others start in September and end in June. There are also schools that are year-round. Regarding rules, you were always expected not to smoke or drink due to being underage, but some of them would do ISS, some would suspend you, and you could even go to juvie.

While drinking while INSIDE the school is frowned upon, I'm pretty sure partying on the weekends and through the summer, which included plenty of alcohol and a keg or two, was pretty normal. Is teenage drinking at parties not a thing anymore? I know I'm old now, but that seems incorrect.

[@phataskitty5740]

@@newgrl that’s what I was referring to. Rules of schools lol. Schools cannot control what happens outside, but only on premises. Otherwise it’s up to the government. People still party although I don’t think it happens a whole lot

In Germany, I wore shoes a lot in my house, and in guest houses I always took them off. It's a little different in America. When my friends visit me, they keep their shoes on, and if we are feeling jumpy (exited) we take our shoes off because we're about to do something fun. The shoes thing is really not so important to me... heck, when I visit someone I keep my shoes on until I feel like taking them off, and then I ask them If I can take my shoes off. I even have shoes next to my desk and bed lol. when I sit, I take my shoes off and when I stand up to do something I put them on. During the summer, I rarely wear shoes at all. I dunno, maybe I'm just weird

Did anyone else that grew up in America take their shoes off before they went in the house?? I see people saying it’s like a Hispanic thing and Asian thing for Asian and Hispanic Americans because they come from another culture usually and her first or second generation. Im white and my whole family, well my dad is actually biracial and the other race side of my family does the same thing I don’t know if it’s where I’m from in America but it’s considered very rude enter someone’s house with your shoes on or without asking if they like you to keep them or take them off or if they have slippers they want you to wear on the house. Because I know some people don’t like it when you walk barefoot in their house and some people don’t like it when you were shoes in the house so it really varies from household to household.

The only time I wear shoes in the house is when they are brand new and I'm "breaking" them in. Once they get worn outside.. they come off. I either walk barefoot, with my indoor sandals, slippers or just my socks lol

for the honorifics at school we usually just call them by mr or ms followed by their last name but teachers we're more comfortable with it's just mr. ms. also I speak spanish and I think we have honorifics kind of.

[@thatweirdodaniel]

im not american but my mom actually scolds me if i dont wear shoes inside the house,, where i live we dont usually have carpets or hardwood floors and houses are usually a lot harder to clean, especially since most houses have a closed balcony and a patio so we just usually clean once a month and in that time, the floor gets dirty so instead of taking of our shoes we keep them on an change into sandals once we get to our rooms

[@Ashley-nr4vh]

It’s so hard to really pinpoint what is or isn’t American culture because we’re a literal melting pot of a vast number of cultures. Experiences differ based on class, race, religion, ethnicity, region, etc. Example, I’m from Houston, Texas and was raised to always say “Sir/Ma’am and Mr./Ms./Mrs.” when addressing anybody older than me or in a position of authority above me. Even if we were close. Relatives too...I never address an elder without a proper title in front of their name. Even if they’re a cousin. It’s always “Cousin ____, T’____ (what I call my aunties except for my nanny and great aunt), Uncle ____” Another example, if we were caught smoking anything, they didn’t just confiscate and suspend you lol. We had police officers on campus and they would take you in and potentially file charges against you because possession of tobacco (as a minor), drugs or paraphernalia is a misdemeanor in Texas. So you would have it on your record as a student and outside of school too. The shoes thing is different depending on the household. I have friends who wear shoes in their homes and others who don’t. We have a shoe rack by our front door in my home, but I didn’t grow up with that.

[@kaceycmeyla4737]

I went to high school in a small town in South Carolina and they actually let seniors (who were 18) smoke in designated smoking areas until the late 90s early 2000s. I thought that was crazy. I graduated in 2014 so it was a huge no no when I was there.

[@lixdays]

for the shoes part I think it's different for families. At my house we take our shoes off at the entrance but if we go to someones house we don't. It's because it seems rude to take your shoes off at someone's else's house unless you have a close relationship with them. Also we won't go on carpeted floors with our shoes on because we don't want to dirty their carpet. edit: at home we like to use flip flops on hard floor like in the kitchen bc the floor gets dirty and we don't want to pick up that mess onto out feet and then dirty the carpet

[@TheTokyo711]

a majority of BIPOC Families all across the US are not allowed to wear shoes in the house lol. just like some of us have that living room no one is allowed to sit in.

[@derpderp9281]

I think the shoes in your house thing works like this (western view): Usually in my own house I take out my shoes when I enter, because it's more comfortable (and now cause of corona too). But in other people's house, I walk in with my shoes - it really depends on my relationship with the person, unless we are close and I can feel I'm at home, I wouldn't take out my shoes. Also, it depends on the context - a more formal meeting at someone's house would require a good dress coding, including shoes. So if it's a fancy dinner, I dont think people would remove their shoes. In Korea and other East Asian countries, everyone takes out their shoes, even in important meetings. I believe this is the big difference

[@derpderp9281]

But I like Korean culture tho, I wish I could tell anyone who enters my house to remove their shoes haha, too bad houses aren't built with a space to leave your shoes before entering

I was in Korea and even if the streets look clean your shoes get so dirty, in Australia unless you live in the country and get red dirt on your shoes no one really takes them off unless they are from other countries. My shoes can be years old and still be really clean, I think that is why we don't take ours off inside unless we are relaxing.

US and Korean schools are so different from Northern Irish schools, the desks are covered in rude words and n*zi symbols, some kid in my class brought a cutter knife into school and nearly stabbed someone with it. My school is huge, we have 1500 students roughly, but somehow everyone just automatically knows what year your in and depending on which year you are in, they will usually curse you out and bully you. Most teachers don't like it when we call them by their first name but you get those occasional teachers who just don't care and are basically your friend. We are so rude I stg. If you ever move to Northern Ireland, don't expect a warm welcome, we don't care enough to get to know you. Also a tip for tourists, don't piss a Northern Irish person off you will get yelled at and depending where you are, you might get capped (shot in the knee, usually from the back as we like to watch your kneecap blow out the front.) But don't let that stop you from coming as we are sometimes nice and our land is very green.

[@kifferan6272]

It is a form of vandalism so it isn’t something that is not likely to happen but normally public schools don’t really care unless you get caught and normally the punishment was writing something like “I will not write on my desk in class” multiple times on a paper and turning it in to your teacher

[@shaunice-ui4bm]

@@Sirbananasir yea or you clean it, public schools don’t actually care about what’s on the desk and some teachers make an effort to clean it for next year since they reuse the desks but honestly it’s not really an issue

[@PongoXBongo]

I was raised to always take my shoes off in the house. Living in the upper Midwest, it gets pretty cold here, so most homes have wall-to-wall carpet (not in the kitchen or bathrooms, obviously), and carpet gets really dirty really fast. You can wear slippers around the house if your feet are cold, but they don't go outside. My feet get too hot in slippers, so I use sandals instead (but mostly for just going down into the basement, otherwise just socks is my preference, plus skating around the kitchen in socks is fun too).

[@jaynenunya6070]

American perspective on the shoe thing: I work in a job where I visit people's homes, and have weekly visits with them for some time. I usually ask if people want me to take my shoes off or keep them on, and about 75% of the time it's fine for me to keep them on. I do automatically take my shoes off in my own home, and in the home of very close family and friends. If I don't know someone well enough, it would seem too comfortable for me to be walking around with bare feet in their home.

[@pastthepointofnoreturn6412]

Something that never comes up in these videos is how often Americans say "please"😂to my Koreans/foreigners out there, when you're asking or telling someone to do something you have to say please! If it's between friends it's okay not to, but to stay on the safe side just say it anyways. Since we have no hierarchy by age or rank other than just common respect you can't just tell someone to do something. It's important to show you're not just ordering them around. In Korea it's really weird to go around saying "jebal" or some similar phrase whenever you ask a favor, but here it's a sign of politeness :)

We take our shoes off, but as a child we lived on a farm and had a mud room to take off things and leave in before entering the house and when I lived up North in MN everyone I knew did it so not to drag in snow, ice, mud. Also, coming from a big family I've always liked sharing dishes and like that it is a part of Korean culture.

[@PongoXBongo]

Maybe it's because I'm a bit older (1981), but we generally addressed our teachers by last name, for example, "Mr. Adams" or "Ms. Jones". At university, it was a bit more relaxed, because everyone there is an adult. Maybe in huge classes (like "101" or "Intro" classes in big lecture halls), it would still be Mr. or Ms., but, as you specialize toward your major, class sizes get a lot smaller so first names can be OK. If you're not sure, just quietly raise your hand and wait to be called on.

[@theSkin_of_a_Killer_Bella]

I'd like to note that a good portion of houses don't allow shoes in the house- Also, calling superiors by their names. In the US as she said we use Mr. and Mrs, but not 'teacher' etc. But it wasn't mentioned that teachers could possibly be fired if students call them by their given name, or first name.
