American school system

First time when little childrens visit a school is on ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

* They stay in same room for the most of the day. There is only one teacher responsible for math, social studies and English

* They have a break of about an hour in the middle of the day for lunch.

* During break, kids are playing together on the playground,before afternoon lessons

Next degree for student is MIDDLE SCHOOL – grades six to eight

* It’s first time, when will have class in different room with different teacher

* They have schedule is determined by their school.

* And the first time they have own private storage locker.

 

Next school for student is high school – starting grade from 9

* Student‘s begin attending high.

* There ís more freedom, but more responsibility and great deal of pressure  (daleko více stresu)

* They have core = main) subjects here like math, science, English and social studies ARE STILL MANDATORY (povinný)

* There is chance to get into some ELECTIVE class like ART, DRAMA, TECHNOLOGY and others.
