- 43. Information about school in France. My school is in Metz, there are 1.500 students in it. High school (called “lycee” in French) is just 10 th grade to 12 th grade. You are always with the same people in all the different classes. (we call the “classe” the people with who you are) We don’t have the same classes every day but every week.
- 45. Information about school in France. Schedules are strange (even stupid sometimes…) We often finish school at 5 or 6’o clock. You can’t choose your classes, but when you are in 11 th grade, you have to choose between literature career, business career or scientific career.
- 47. Information about school in France. School is a lot harder, it takes more time, you have more homework and it’s hard to have good grades. Teachers are stricter (some even are evil or not human…) We don’t have any clubs or sports teams in school (it would be so much fun…)
- 48. Information about school in France. No students have a job after school. High school is not mandatory, there are professional formations you can attend after middle school to learn a basic job (like haircutter’s formation etc.). (Nobody likes school at all)
- 49. Main differences between France and Colorado. Landscapes are a lot different in France, we have a lot more rain so there are more trees and vegetation. There is no open-area. Cars are smaller in Europe. Social system is a lot different, we pay more taxes, but health access is almost free. For example, braces are free in France. If you don’t work, you always earn 550 dollars by month.
- 50. Main differences between France and Colorado. A lot of people trust in god and go to church every Sunday here. In France, no teenagers go to church because there are no entertaining activities for them. Roads are a lot larger and straighter than in France. There are no Mexican people but there are Arab people in France.
