    This will blow the minds of some in the UK, my graduating class was 844 students. Also my high school had an Olympic size indoor pool and full weights room, full size basketball court, and a spinning room full of bikes. Pretty common in most large high schools in the 1990’s in large cities.

      I went to a middle school (i.e., 6-8th grades) in Virginia that had Olympic team/individual swimming, diving, water polo, handball and field hockey teams among traditional high sports -- including baseball, basketball, football, soccer, wrestling, tennis, golf, weight lifting, etc. sports. Many of the Silicon Valley high schools also have lacrosse, polo and other more niche sports.

    We had weight lifting class in high school but everyone thought it was easy and too many people would sign up. So the first couple weeks we would have to run sprints and do horribly hard things until enough people dropped the class. After that it was fun and you could do basically whatever you wanted as long as it was exercise.

    Aloha! 🤙Back in my day (80s), weight-lifting was an elective class. I was the only girl in my class period, and on the first day, the boys didn't want to spot me on the bench press (didn't think I was up for it, they wanted me to just do the bar/no weights). The coach/teacher saw this, and came over to me. He told 2 boy students to spot me (one on each end of the bar), and instructed me to do one rep and stop and NOT look at the bar... he had the students rack some more weight on the bar and I kept doing the one rep/stop/rack more weight until the bell rang (class over). I was at 120 pounds on the bar and we only stopped because of the bell. I am 5'0 tall and just benched my body weight. The guys didn't give me any problems after that 😁🤙

      This sounds like mine. In a rural area, but they bused kids from about a 90 mile radius (farm kids). They said they used the time to do homework, etc., so not wasted. We even had two schedules, either like yours (perhaps a few minutes different on either end), or a later one so classes not too crowded.

    My graduating class had around 100 students. Our school day ran from 8:30-3:00; we took six courses a semester but studied only five of them each day. This was because we had a unique “rotating” schedule to accommodate a social work class that did field work once a week; the schedule rotated so the students wouldn’t skip the same classes every week.

    In high school you have main subjects like: math, science, social studies, history, language arts/English( parts of speech, essays, Shakespeare, study of the english language basically)government. Then you have classes that they call electives, like, different types of art, weight training, cooking, medical, business, etc…. You get 4 main courses and then you can pick like 2 electives. After every report card, when the ending of a semester (a certain amount of weeks of learning) you can change your electives. There are at least 3 semesters per year, only certain electives are available for each grade. 9th grade(freshman, first year of high school 14-15years old), 10th grade(sophomore, 2nd year of high school 15-16yr olds), 11th grade(junior, third year of high school 16-17, 12th grade( senior, last year of high school, Graduation 17-18yrs old).

    Our two primary high schools are Bentonville High with 3,892 total students (2022) and Bentonville West with 2,158 students (2022), the new high school. Bentonville is a fairly affluent town, with the Walmart headquarters here, so both schools have top notch facilities. Each high school has more kids than some of the smaller towns in Arkansas have in total population, so you can imagine that the high schools there are much smaller. The schools are funded by a combination of local and state taxes, which means the quality varies from city to city.

    Several states switched to the biodegradable food container it’s more room you can put stuff in. The sectioned lunch trays are only used for elementary school kids and the military. Elementary students learn about portion sizes and nutrition as the years go so the sectioned parts help teach that. Everywhere else are the large biodegradable containers. Plastic is less common now.

  • @Gloren50
    @Gloren50 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Usually there are six periods in a school day. There are required classes but over the four years there is room for a few electives. Requirements differ from state to state, but there is a core curriculum for all schools in all states. In my state, where I taught high school for 35 years, the requirements were 3 yrs of Math (Algebra 1, Algebra II and Geometry), although two different levels of Calculus are also offered for those students who took Algebra I in grade 8; 4 years of History/Social Studies, 4 years of English, 1 year of Phys Ed, 1 semester of Health; 2 years of a second language, 2 years of a Lab Science, and 1 year each of Art or Music and Technology. But those are the requirements for a high school diploma in the general ed. program, but not enough for university entrance. There are also Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs that require 4 years of each of the core curriculum including a second language. University-bound students take at least some A.P. or I.B. courses, which are rigorous, university prep classes. If those programs don't exist in a given school, university-bound students will follow the typical college requirements for entrance, which usually include at least 3 years of a second language and 4 years of Math. All students in my high school were required to complete a major thesis-driven History/Social Studies research project/paper at the end of each year.
    I taught International Baccalaureate History and German for most of my career. Grades 9 and 10 were I.B. prep, and then grades 11 and 12 were full I.B. At the end of grade 12, students have to take comprehensive exams that cover the last two years of a subject, each exam is usually 2.5 hours long. If a student passes all six exams, they receive an I.B. Diploma which usually comes with some university credits, depending on the university a student plans to attend. The young man in the video didn't really show much of the 'educational content' of his school day, so it's hard to know if he was in a general ed program or some advanced, university prep. By the way, 'Key Club' is usually a school service club. In our school Key Club students were involved in planning school events, ushering school events, working with the administration to solve problems, etc. It might be different in different states, I'm not sure.

      Mine had 8 but Tuesday and Wednesday were block period days when each had 4 periods (whichever one you didn't have the previous day) and they were like an hour 20 minutes as opposed to about 40 minutes. The teachers used to use the block days as test prep or actual test days. We went from 8 am- 3 pm. We had 5 minutes to get to each class and an hour lunch. Our school only had one building, though it had a basement, main floor and upper floor. Basement was usually the extracurricular stuff like choir, band, orchestra, wood shop, cooking, art/ceramics, etc.

There are two lunch rooms (one in each building) a pool, and performing arts building. My graduating class had about 525 students, but pretty sure the classes are larger now.
    You do get to pick PE (gym) there was weight training, aerobics, team sports, individual sports and other options that I can’t remember. You also get to pick your electives.

    I think Key Club is a service club. We had it at my high school, but I wasn't part of it. I'm old though (class of 1969). There was a huge controversy one year because parents were moving to get their kids into a high school that had a padded weight room. I will say that we had mandatory swim classes, and the school provided the swimsuits. In my husband's high school, across the country from where I lived, the boys were required to be nude. Not only did the school not provide swimsuits, but also they were not permitted to wear them. That was in Cincinnati, Ohio, and he was part of the class of 1966.

    I graduated near Dallas, Texas in 1991. Every class in my high school was in one building, couldn't go outside at all. Class was 8:00 am-3:10pm. We had weightlifting class starting in 8th grade but ours was part of PE. We just had gotten a salad bar during my Senior year. We didn't start doing computer classes till 6th grade but the computers were very big and all we studied was how to type fast, the history of computers and a we did a very short study on computer programming but it was nothing like that have now. We had a pep rally every Friday during football season where everyone had the option to either leave to go home an hour early or go to the pep rally. And we played rock-paper-scissors-dynamite back then.

    It's been a while but I can still remember a normal school day for me. When I was in school I would get up at 4:30 am to be able to take a shower because my little brother had to get up at 5:30. I would then make him and myself breakfast, make sure he got to his bus on time. I would leave for the city bus, and I had to walk through about 2.4 kilometers of the desert to get to the bus stop. I would get to school at 6:30 an hour before school started, I had to do it that way or I would be an hour late because the city bus only ran every 2 hours. We were in school until 2 pm then I would walk 3.8 kilometers to work, work until 7 pm then catch the bus home eat dinner go to bed by 11 pm, and repeat it the next day.

    My High-school was 7:45 to 1:45. Cause the busses had to be ready to go to collect us and then go to the middle schools and collect them and they got out at 2:30. Then they'd take us to our stops and then go to elementary schools that started at 8am and got out at 3:30. But if it was end of school month, and you were a senior, you did not have to attend the last 3 weeks of school as long as you had all your graduation credits. Cause there was zero point for you to be there if you were 100% graduating.

    Yep. School started at 7:15 am every morning for me so I was up by 5:45 every day. And now as a 33 year old, I am still up by 5:45am every single day, work or not. Lol. My school was cool, it was literally just two hallways in the shape of a stretched out horseshoe, two floors one hallway each floor. Super easy to get around. From the outside it looks like an airport.
    The big room you kept seeing is the common area. My high school used it as the lunch room too, but many schools will have a separate area for eating. The common area was where you'd gather in the morning before the day started, had study hall, waited for the end of the day, etc. Could also be used for lunch as well and this could just be a second lunch room. A school I went to briefly before moving my freshman year had two lunch rooms.
    Making breakfast is funny af. My mom made us eggo waffles before school growing up but now as an adult I almost never have breakfast.
    My graduating class was 486 people. The girl I walked across the stage at graduation with I had NEVER seen before in the four years of high school with her lol.
    My high school also had about 20 different gym classes, body building 1 and 2 being two of them. We had two full workout gyms. I took two gym classes, both semesters, all four years. Loved it. We had soccer/basketball, lifetime sports, international sports, self defense, body building 1 and 2, bicycling/archery, golf conditioning to name a few of the ones I took.
    I went to high school from 04-08, so vlogging wouldn't of been as easy. The cameras would've been massive and in your face or just bad quality all around. Def would've done it nowadays with cameras on phone or the tiny gopros.

    my school also has weight training. for us we can choose every subject so for language u can choose the type and same thing with history science math etc. its probably the same all over the world. what might be different is that for pe u can choose the type of exercise. so some atheletes dont have pe because theyre on a team or something so their coach just has to sign something saying that they do more than the standard qualification for pe. but not every athlete can qualify. u can choose dance, regular pe, clubs as long as it's school funded, weights, swimming, gymnastics, etc. they're all equally rigorous

    I was given the job of getting myself ready as well as cooking breakfast at 6 years old. I had my own alarm clock. We had to cook hot cereal or porridge as it was the easiest to follow directions and cheapest. It was usually cornmeal billed into a porridge called cornmeal mush. Just as tasty as it sounds but it was affordable. I'm an excellent cook now even though my neglectful mother could cook unless it was instant. I guess that's from being exposed to it from a young age. I can go to a restaurant, taste a dish, and go home and recreate it since I was in my mid-twenties. I guess some hardships come great things if you look at it right ❤

Though i didn't grow up in that state so I didn't know a ton of that class behind me. I grew up in a different state, started high school in a different state. That school had 2000 kids total and i pretty much knew 3/4 of them because i grew up with all the brothers and sisters at all the grade levels. You know everyone's older or younger brother.

My favorites were archery, fencing, and volleyball. Class was from 8:10- 3:40.

    American highschools have required subjects as well as electives that you get to choose. Weigh-training, programming, various music, art, and athletics, engineering, higher sciences, etc. Are common types of electives. There are also a lot of school clubs.
    I went to 2 different highschools, one built in the 1800s, and the other built in 1990. The more recently built one had more advanced elective options such as aronautics and things like that as well as more convenient tech in the classrooms, but the overall experience was pretty similar.
    The strength of American education is freedom of choice and exploration. The weakness is the politization that has been building for the past 10+ years.
    Most schools have a large cafeteria with different food options, some cooked by the school, while others might look like a mall food court with branded restaurants or their approximation. The older students are often allowed off campus to buy their own lunch.

    About the gym in American High School. Most have them. I graduated high school way back in 1989 and they were normal to have back then. They support several after school sports that need gyms. Football, Baseball, Wrestling, Basketball etc.. As a freshman we were required to take Gym. After that weight training was offered as a class in 10th, 11th and 12th grade. As well as elective Gym classes. Most High Schools have many sports teams so i think that is the main reason they are there.

    In American highschools you have to have 1 period of PE (Physical education) and most of the time is just basically running around or playing sports in a big gymnasium, learning different exercise's, usually they require you to run timed miles. But in a lot of schools they have different PE courses you can do for the required credit. Like sports such as weight training, gymnastics, wrestling, soccer, etc.

But in the 80s we were far more on our own than kids these days that are totally sheltered and can't really survive on their own. If your parents worked you cooked or you didn't eat. You learned to cook, laundry, make your own lunch and dinner, cause they weren't always home. And mine were there but like my big brother had ball games and practice so you might get home and they were at an evening game. You starved or you asked your mom to show you a a few things. You learned to make spagehetti, stir fry, sandwiches, eggs, bacon, etc.
