School...

[dahans]

Yeah we have something similar, but we can decide wether we want to eat there or not. It's just for the break to get a snack but not really cooked food.

[Magus Darkwind]

Just weak unhealthy nasty food...imo

[Tranzlater]

8:30 until 3:15 here.
I wanna be german- they only do school until about midday.

[dahans]

Yeah the german school system is quite similar to the austrian. School starts at 8:00 and ends at half past one. Sometimes school ends at 5:50 that sucks.

[SirIngusBingus]

Italian schools go from 8-12:30, I believe (but they go 6 days a weak).

My school's lunches are terrible, but if you're a junior or senior, you can walk down the street to buy food. It is NYC, so you barely have to walk a block to get to a deli or something.

...I just realized, some of you aren't American and probably don't know what a junior or senior is. Huh.
9th Grade=Freshmen
10th=Sophomores
11th=Juniors
12th=Seniors

[dahans]

I didn't know that thats funny.

[SirIngusBingus]

Yeah...and what's really funny is that everyone uses those terms...

It's just a joke, don't be serious right away My best friend is German

[dahans]

I know that the reputation of the germans is not really good . (I think that's because of Hitler) Actually Hitler was born in Austria.
And I hope that this was a joke because when someone misunderstands you get into troubles.

[Tranzlater]

Yeah when I first heard the American system I got really confused.

The english system is:

INFANT SCHOOL
R- Reception
1
2

JUNIOR SCHOOL
3
4
5
6

SECONDARY SCHOOL
7
8
9

(still in secondary school)
GSCE
10
11

(Optional)
COLLEGE
12
13

Then university.

EDIT: Oh, and 'Grade 9' in America is 'Year 10' in England, I think.

Adolf isn't the reason for me. And I know Hitler was born in Austria.
And it's very kind of you, but I don't think I'll get into troubles

[SirIngusBingus]
