What was your school life like? I was never at school in the UK, so I have no idea how it is. I have been to school in the United States, and Italy. And for a very very short time in Germany and I remember a German students being able to leave the actual school during breaks once they were in that year 10. You could go downtown for coffee or go shopping or whatever. I have heard now that parents have to sign a waiver, I don't know if that's every school. But in our school we could just leave. I know of the special-needs school in Marburg, and it seems the students have so much more freedom than we did in Florida. I spent most of my education in Florida, and for example at the boarding school I attended, staff had to check on us every 15 minutes. You could only live in the apartments once you had reached the end of high school, but you had a door mother and the apartments were still on campus, you had a certain degree of freedom, you could go to bed at midnight, and you could cook your own dinner and breakfast, but in Marburg students lived off campus, and when they were older they lived on their own. They were checked on twice a week. So different from what we had. And as I have mentioned on here, American students eat so much junk food, and usually treats or food or cupcakes or something. I had one teacher who used to buy us Coca-Cola, brownies, and other things and read to us every Friday. And we also had a sleep in day, this was at the ball The boarding school so our teachers would come and wake us up and then we had brunch. And we didn't have school that day, we just had fun. It was our favorite day of the year I think. But we never went on any overnight school trip's as a class.
I'm always curious as to what people did in their countries. So what were your experiences?
