How Do You Want Your School?
WILL EUCKER
In America, it seems we have a pretty reliable and traditional school system. We have (unless it’s a holiday) five full school days, lasting from roughly 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. After each week, we get about a two day weekend to catch up from homework, go out with friends, have a mini-vacation, or just enjoy some free-time.
Of course, we don’t have the only education system. There are many, many others that could be better and worse for different reasons.
For example, in Asia, they receive their education much differently than Americans do. People in Asia spend roughly eight hours a day at school – as opposed to the seven hours Americans spend at school.
