Well, I've decided to have part of my novel take place in Britain, and I need help. So, I saw Childark's post on American Schools, and I'm using some of his questions. Answer some, answer one, or answer them all.
1. What are the grade systems? What grade/year/... are you in when you're five. Six, seven, eight? What year do you graduate? What year do you start school?
2. Schedule system? Do you have the choice to pick your schedules or do the school pick the schedules for you?
3. Class transfers? After a class, do you stay in your class and wait for the teacher to come in or do you transfer to a different classroom and come to a teacher?
4. Do you have breaks between your schedules?
5. Do you have two eating breaks? Recess and Lunch Break?
6. What time is usually your dismissal time?
7. Do you have the choice to join clubs or do they choose you?
8. "Popular kids"? Who are they?
9. What are the different trends in the American teen community? (Trends like emos, etc... I hear something about chavs...)
10. What's the transportation? Bus, car, walking? How far away from the school do you live, how far away do most live?
11. Do you go home for lunch?
12. If there are any, what are the electives?
13. What is popular right now? Books, TV shows, Movies?
14. What slang do you use?
15. Is there anything else you have to tell me?
Thank you so much! Feel free to put a link to something you want me to help you with, or PM me later about it.
