Each student in American high<br />

school has his or her own personal<br />

schedule. In many schools the<br />

schedule is the same every day from<br />

Monday to Friday. That means the<br />

students do the same subjects in the<br />

same order at the same time.<br />

Teachers in an American high school<br />

have their own rooms, so students<br />

move from classroom to classroom to<br />

their different teachers. There are often<br />

only three to five minutes between<br />

lessons.<br />

Students don’t repeat a year as some<br />

students have to in Germany,<br />

but they can repeat a class in a certain<br />

subject. If students fail a subject,<br />

they can do additional work in<br />

summer school during the summer<br />

vacation and pass the subject. Subjects<br />

are divided into requirements<br />

and electives. Requirements are subjects<br />

students have to take. Electives<br />

are subjects students can choose<br />

to take. These are often subjects like<br />

Art, Shop, Music, Drama, or Computer<br />

Science.<br />

Sports and extra-curricular activities<br />

are very important in American<br />

schools. There is a large choice<br />

of activities throughout the year. However,<br />

students do different sports<br />

in different seasons. Practice takes<br />

place after school.<br />

If an American high school student<br />

went to a Bavarian school,<br />

he would be surprised that the<br />

schedule differs from weekday to<br />

weekday.<br />

Additionally, American students<br />

would wonder, why the pupils<br />

usually stay in one or two rooms<br />

the whole day.<br />

Furthermore, American students<br />

would be disgusted by the fact,<br />

tha they might have to repeat a<br />

year.<br />

And last but not least, American<br />

high school students would<br />

probably be angry about the fact,<br />

that sports and extra-curricular<br />

activities don’t play an very<br />

important role in the German<br />

school system and electives are more<br />

school-related.<br />
