School compared to in Portugal.

[efq]

I was wondering whats different to my school in the algarve to yours in the united of kingdom.

First, whats your time you go to school? Mine is monday and wednesday 12:30pm-6:00pm and tues, thur and fri. 8:00AM-12:45pm

And on your grades each year, you need to get atleast 1 A, 2Bs, If you get 2 C's or 1C or anything lower than C you have to redo the year.
Secondary school starts in year 10 for us.

Is it the same in UK?

[e5]

omg oh dear. lmao it's completely diff.


Every school day for me:

Start - 8:45 - 3:25

Secondary School - Year 7

End of each year, 6 weeks holidays and then next year. Nvm bout your grades and tbh there's been a new addition to my school.. If you're really naughty, you have to redo the year, but they say that with a pinch of salt really.

Hope that's clear for you :).

[Hazza]

My school is
8:40am till 3.00pm - All schools vary.

And we never have to redo years unless your really bad or you maybe have a disability (I know someone who this happened to).

[alexxxxx]

i think they should make people redo years more in this country. Accept a higher standard, cause some people can get away with doing nothing.

[Technologic]

My school is 8:50-3:45

8-10 weeks for summer, 3 weeks for easter, 3 weeks for xmas, 1 week half term

We have exams at the end of each year and if you do really badly you have to do work over the sumemr or you get asked to leave

[Mario]

For me
8:45-3:05
6 weeks break after the school year, always advance a year even if your grades are terrible.
