I'm interested in learning about other country's lives in schools! Here in the Philippines, we go to school (at least high school) from around 7:00 AM to 4-5:00 PM. We don't change classrooms; the teachers do. I've been to two schools before, actually. One had mixed Chinese and English classes, while the other one had English for the morning and Chinese in the afternoon. The previous one, we didn't have any lockers. We just brought a box to school and that's where we keep our books. In my second school, we have lockers.

Well that's as much info as I can think of about high schools in the Philippines!

What about the systems in your school? B)

In Singapore here, lessons start at 8 am but you have to be in school by at least 7.15. Depending on the days, we usually end lessons at 1.30 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 2.05 pm on Mondays and 12.30 pm on Fridays. School is tough here. Altough it may seem that school is short, the school always have thei evil schemes to make you stay back, for example remedials, projects, detention and loads of other crap.


Lessons are long and boring. Schools are divided in to Primary Schools. After graduating from Primary school, you will enter Secondary School. From Secondary school, you will have 3 choices.

You can go to the:

1)Polytechnic
2)Junior College
3)ITE(Insitute of Technical Education)

After that, you can either quit school and start working or go to the University. Oh ya, males have to enter compulsory National Service at the age of 18 for 2 years....

Wow! That must be tough!

By the way, what do you study about? Do you guys still study Chinese Peotry, Calligrapy, water margin or the History of China?

Or do you guys now learn the same as us: English, Math, Science, Geography...etc..?

Here in Greece we start at 8:30 and finish at 1:30. We usually don't change classes but it depends on the lesson...For example Biology is done in the biology class etc etc etc....

Things are truly difficult and the exams are academic level.

I come from the netherlands and go to school there. It's very relaxed because every hour we have a diffrent teacher. he have to be at school at 8.40 hours and when we get to leave depends on the day. the longest day is until 15.30 hours. We have two hours of gym a week and one hour of music (if you've picked it at the beginning of the school year. We're allowed to stay in school to study or just surf the we until 5 o'clock.

Wow!!!

In Singapore, play and music comes the last!!

We only get an hour of Physical Education per week and 30 mins of music lessons. You guys really must be enjoying life!!

Sometimes we can have the same teacher for 2 hours in a row!! omg, and you guys gett o change teachers so often...and from what you have said, it seems that you can chhose your own subjects you want to take up...but in Singapore, its all the SAME...

I live In England, Im 15: my school is immensely dull, we study from 9AM to 3:30PM, but then we get coursework, so the "fun" doesnt stop there. Its killing me, slowly. Okay, maybe not, but its kind of harsh. We do ordinary boring subjects: English, Maths, Science etc. Not very inspiring. Im leaving soon tho :lol: no idea what I wanna do....
