School Differences Between the UK and the US (2nde)

 

 Differences with the American and the British school systems.

The document under study is a video about the differences between the American and the British school systems. We have learned that in American schools, students have 3 months of summer holiday. As opposed to the British students, indeed, they only have 6 weeks of summer vacation.

Moreover, in American school, in PE (Physical Education) classes, students should wear the colors of the school to make sure to have 30% of their final grade. On top of that, American students are not allowed to have backpacks at school for security reasons, as a result they have to hold all their books with them. They have lockers in which they can leave their books. Contrary to British students, they do not have lockers and have their books in their backpacks. Furthermore, in the USA, they have nine classes. In addition, the grading (US) /marking (UK) system is different: in the USA, students just need to be present, to participate and do their homework to have a good grade. Whereas British students have to pass tests, which represents 80% of the final grade, the other 20% refer to a grade for their project.
