School in America

School in America is different from what we know in many respects. Here is a short overview:

• At Trinity you have the same lessons every day, at IKS you have a different schedule every day

• At Trinity school ends every day at 3 o’clock and after school you have to practise sports until 6 o’clock.

• At IKS school doesn’t end every day at the same time and we don’t have to practise sports after school

• At Trinity every Friday at lunch break is a concert of a student of Trinity ( just in spring)

• At Trinity you can go out of the lesson and you don’t have to say what you want to do

• At IKS you have to ask if you can go to the toilet.

• The teachers at IKS come to the students and at Trinity the teachers have their own rooms, so the students come to the teachers' room

They have brought a lot of stuff from different countries and it looks very confused.
