I see,so you think mixing classes would be better,and you don't have a problem with school hours.I think that our school times are fine (6 or 7 classesper day, 40 minutes each, 5 days per week), but I get extremely bored in school not because of the length or number of classes, but from the classes themselves. Every day we have 3-5 English classes and that gets very boring (considering that I've been learning English since first grade and that this year we started from the ABCs). If I had programming classes instead, it'd have been a lot more helpful.
Yup, 2 English classes per day would be perfect and filling the empty classes with some physics, biology, maths, anything else, would be awesome.I see so you thi
I see,so you think mixing classes would be better,and you don't have a problem with school hours.
I think that there should be a limit for each subject like the maximum amount of English you get per day is 2 class a day, do you think this idea is good ?
When I was at school, I had zero hours a day. Mainly because I never went.
Haha, thanks Although, I have no school on Saturday, and Sunday. But, usually sometimes I would waste it on doing long projects or studying. I have a test on Monday.So you would like it to be like 5 to 6 hours instead,also I never knew that you have school 7 days a week so you study the whole week this's bad, YOU READ THE Quran I'm proud of you .
as far as Germany goes, I believe the hours are fine. school days usually go from 7:30 in the morning to 1 pm, sometimes (in rare cases, twice a week) up to 3pm. depending on the system, that's usually classes of 45-90 minutes. with a bunch of 5-10 minute breaks and one that's 30minutes (another one on the long days), though usually useless, as German schools rarely offer anything that resembles a mensa/cafeteria where food is served. the 30 minute break doesn't work to take a nap, it doesn't work to get a healthy fill of energy, as you can only carry so much food to school, its really more of a chance to waste money on snacks at the schools kiosk or to quickly do forgotten homework.
the hours in general are ok and manageable, however, as schoolday starts early, most children have to get up at 6, some even earlier. considering some kids got to take a 30-60 minute bus drive, I've always thought they should move the days start to 9 or even 10. huge problem of kids in school-age, they are lethargic in the morning and completely spent after 12. and i believe that is often due to a lack of sleep.
well anyway, completely unrelated to all of that, I believe the real problem with the German schooling system isn't even the wake-up time or the number of breaks and subjects. its all the time that is wasted on subjects and teaching-plans that are useless for between 60 and 90% of all kids. subjects try so forcefully to broadens pupils interests and knowledge, that by the end of 10th class, few kids have any particular interests left. kids start school with special interests in nature, or physics, or sports or music or even reading books, but natural science is only teached after about 7 years of other crap, while music and art lessons are part of the early years and get cut completely by year 8 or 9. and that's terrible in an economy and a society, that really only has a place left for the highly specialized individual.
to this day, i'd say it would be so much more reasonable to get kids to some basic level of understanding in language and maths, and even a few other classes like history and politics, but instead of broadening all of the subjects, they should be able to specialize after that. pretty much, the system that's been working for universities forever, should be brought to the early school years.
that way, one would at least hope to bring out people with distinguished skillsets, that still have any interest left to learn at all. because as it is right now, I don't think there is any child leaving 10th grade that really feels like learning more. that really wants more of the last 10 years. in my class back then, we were pretty much divided into the group that left the school system to earn money and never come back, and those that went on to 13th grade, because they didn't know what to do outside of school and because it would open up more chances later. people stay in school out of rational thoughts, not out of interest. there is only ever a few people that go on with school out of interest in a certain subject, and sadly, those have to go through 13 years of this, until they finally acquire the right to go to university and specialize in something. and the sad thing is, the only thing that has any value at this point, is the ability to read and any kind of social skill they might have picked up by accident until then. you spend 13 years learning, being stressed to the point where kids get stomach ulcers, and you don't even have anything to show for it as far as abilities go. yes, you get a set of grades, that for some reason is vital to every job application you ever write, even though the knowledge that's represented by those grades has no value at all to anything you will ever do in any job...
obviously, things wont change. politics, both Germany, the eu and pretty much worldwide seems to think that kids coming out of school need to be comparable to each other. that's why teaching plans become bigger, more similar to each other and most often, less useful for any individual. all of this can only end badly.

I don't know why my teacher knows; that she's stressing us! One test after another, then we study... Gives us ton of a homework.. Gives us assignments after another... It's taking over our lives!
Now that I'm in college, I fully support extending K-12 school hours.
So you didn't fail,but why didn't you go what did you not like in general ?
