hello fellow dragons 🙂
uhn, I currently have a school project bout the so called free-time at school. We are to work with local schools and plan artistic projects for the kids at all-day schools. Part of this project is analizing the whole theme, and my part is to ask other students/parents, especially oversea ones. If you were at an all day school, you have kids going to it or you have any experience related with it you wish to share, please go here:
http://akeyla.livejournal.com/640861.htmlI am thankful for every reply, may it even be just one of the many questions. For all further details, please read the details there.
For the effort I was thinking to gift the lenghtiest/multiplest replyers with prints, but its still in the idea mode.thanks so much!
PS: I’m still getting rabbies from school here, which is the reason for past silence. I’m not dead, just torn down. I’ll survive. ALthough right now I’d rather love to mutate into Godzilla

http://akeyla.livejournal.com/640861.htmlBy all day do you mean regualr school hours (mine were roughly 8 am to 3 pm) or do you mean you live at the school (like a boarding school)?
hmmm… maybe this is my mistake. Where I live you go home for lunch. The concept of staying at school from 8-5 (more or less) is unknown. So, yes, 8am-3 pm is “all-day school” 🙂
Ok, most public schools in the US you stay at school and either bring your lunch from home or buy it in the lunch room.
When we lived in Utah, not only did the kids go to school all day, they went all year….. I hated that schedule. You’d have 9 weeks on ‘track’ and 3 weeks ‘off track’ and, of course, none of the kids in your neighborhood were guaranteed to be on the same track. Once you got to middle school then you had a ‘traditional’ school year from there to high school, but high school started in 10th grade, not 9th and was only 3 years instead of 4…. 🙄

Really? Isn’t that a pain in the butt for the parents having to drive the kids back in forth every few hours or so?

Wow! Do all of the students live within a few miles of school? Here there are some students that live 8, 10… 12+ miles from school. Even if they could bike it, 6 months of the year is too cold and snowy to do it easily! -30°F is not too uncommon.

Oh wow, are there lots of schools in areas? You’d think by the time you got home you’d have to turn around and start walking back! lol. If I had walked to my elementary school I’m sure it would have taken more than 30 minutes. And I doubt my Mom would have let me cross the bigger streets to get there.
When I was in elementry school, I lived in Topanga canyon and went to school in Pacific Palasades, about 30 miles I think. That would be a long walk! 😆
My high school (and the other 2 high schools in the city) would let students either eat in the cafeteria or leave for lunch. Lunch was only 30 minutes, so if you lived far away you’d just go to the corner store or one of the local sub shops. Eventually, however, after a year with several shootings at the local eateries, the schools created a policy that you had to have your parents sign a permission slip saying you could leave school grounds for lunch.
