32 Seemingly Normal Things About American Schools That Confuse The Hell Out Of Non-Americans
Growing up in a European country and never witnessing what it's like to go to an American school, watching American high school comedies, to me, has always been a pretty surreal experience. I'm sure that most of you fellow non-Americans reading this article could relate to me on this.
There are so many things about American schools that have always seemed utterly fascinating to me. For instance, you get letter grades instead of number ones, schools have swimming pools inside them, there's a club for almost anything, you have to get a hall pass to go to the bathroom during class, and lunch meals are usually pretty bizarre. The list goes on. With that being said, Bored Panda invites you to look through this list of tweets from non-American Twitter users in which they share things that they find the strangest about American schools. Feel free to explain to us the things we don't understand or add your own in the comment section!

Yes, but the cheerleaders were just normal students, not stuck up and they didn't wear their uniforms in class.
In Sweden it starts in august and ends in june. Nothing odd about it, to me.
They used to have E as a failing grade, but people thought it meant Excellent, so they changed it to an F.
Canadian here. They don't close schools in Canada unless it's been colder than -40C for three days in a row.
Because we put all our budget into our announcements and lockers
Yes, teachers want you in class to learn, not loitering in the bathroom.
yep...at least in the suburbs because most of us start driving at 16
To be very honest, I'm English and I usually do page count rather than word count
So we aren't "distracted". Even rooms with windows usually had the blinds closed.
Not really. We have nearby schools we compete against in sports, but any rivalry is very light-hearted.
They only cancel it if it happens in a place that normally doesnt get much snow. In places where snow is common, its business as usual. It rarely happened when i was a kid (we all secretly hoped that single inch of dust would close them down - but it maybe happened twice in my entire childhood).
In Wisconsin public schools we have snow days 1-2 times a year.

Pretty sure a Swedish school would be cancelled for life-threatening heat wave if they experienced an average August day in Miami.
Oh nooo they wouldn't. I've NEVER heard of a school being cancelled here. Never.

im in texas, we get no snow, so when we get a bit of snow, school is cancelled
Not all school in america close for snow - the schools in the northern and mountain states don't close -- only for really cold weather. Sounthern states, like Georgia don't have plows for the roads, and people don't know how to drive in the snow -- so they cancel.
Depends on where the school is in the US. Northern states are equipped to handle large amounts of snow, so school cancellations are rare. Southern states tend to freak out at a few inches when they hardly ever see snow. Also, you don't want to be driving during a snowstorm in a state that hardly ever gets snow. The other drivers are bonkers.
Schools get canceled for fog and snow because driving conditions are unsafe.
In my experience snow days are when snow removal plows are behind or unable to keep up. I recently lived in New Orleans, and they had snow days because they had no equipment to salt or clear the roads. They rarely get snow, so everyone freaks out and everything, (games, night classes, church services, businesses, etc.) shuts down, and there are wrecks everywhere.
it's not a great concept for learning, but the best feeling for a kid when there's snow to play in and no school whatsoever
i mean, we have had lots of snow but unfortunately no snow day yet this year… even days when it was so bad there was a ton of car accidents and you could barely see
Because they don’t require you to know how to drive a car to drive a car. But it’s also because of a kid slips on ice or gets hit by a car the school is liable and will get sued
Nearly all American children (not to mention teachers and staff) are now driven to school - by parents, themselves, vans, buses, whatever. Cancellations are to avoid vehicle accidents.
Depends where in the nation you are, here in the upper Midwest we all just kinda sigh and start clearing the snow off the cars and pray the plows came through.
It depends where you live. Northern states are prepared for snow. Texas is not, because snow hardly ever happens. once very 10 yrs or so.

Schools are usually only closed in the South unless it is a particularly bad snow. In the South, we aren't prepared for snow as it doesn't happen often, can't drive in it, have no desire to learn to drive in it, and don't like being cold. So we stay home! There is a reason we live in the South! :)
I would be concerned for my children if they were lost in that weather too.
It depends. You have to keep in mind that America is huge. There’s a lot of difference in climate conditions from region to region. When I very little in Montana snow days were only for the first snow of the year to get the plows out and then for blizzards. When we moved to coastal North Carolina if there were two snow flakes in the air, because most people here have no experience driving in the snow and there’s no equipment to make the roads safe.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh idk what to say
Schools take safety into consideration. Students wait outside for buses in the morning and if it's dangerously cold or unsafe to travel in, the school will get closed down
not in michigan. school almost never gets cancelled for snow
Its a big country. And it varies depending on the region. In the southern states, if you say the word snow, practically everything is shut down. In the northern states, a lot depends on snow removal equipment, and bus pick ups. Each school district makes their own decision as to whether to open or not.
Do most of your kids ride busses? I think (only my opinion) schools are closed due to the streets not being safe. Since most of our kids ride busses to school their safety is in the hands of the school. Sure the streets are plowed and salted, eventually, the districts do not want to be held responsible for a bus load of kids getting hurt.
yup almost evreyone rides on a bus to school

In many places, people don't know how to drive well in inclement conditions, and because we live in a litigious society. The bus driver has an accident? Watch all the lawsuits roll in. Sad but true
It depends on where you live. In parts of the country, we don't get much snow, so the cities don't have snow plows. Hence, a bad snow storm kinda shuts everything down for a day or so.
Your government is far older and your history is massively different and literally that’s what it comes down to. Experience and historical development.
You can jump over a bridge if you want in your country. But Americans will be Americans. If the weather changes from what is normal in the area they don't expose the people to driving conditions even if in another country that is the norm. Our children is our future so we have very strict and restrictive rules about it.
Be honest, we cancel schools to avoid expensive lawsuits. In the states, if you are injured due to someone else's negligence, you can sue for monetary damages exceeding a million dollars at times. Each student could individually sue the negligent party. In the states we bus our kids to school. The bus is typically 3 or 4 car lengths long, do not have seat belts, most are rear wheel drive and have highway tread tires. Driving this type of vehicle in snow, ice or unplowed roads is clearly unsafe and negligent. I have seen this question more than once, I hope this helps.
Depends on the locale... In states where a lot of snow happens only twice a season or so, it is considered unsafe to bus or walk a long distance. I suspect students travel farther to go to school on average than they do in Sweden!
two words: "bus crash". We value our children's lives, sorry Sweden doesn't
In rural areas, kids can live 30 miles from the school, bus can't drive through the snow and ice, dangerous to keep the school open. ALSO, most places in the south don't have the big expensive equipment to clear the roads of the snow and ice. My area doesn't have issues with fog so I can't answer that part.
That is how it is now. I went to school in Minnesota starting in the 50`s once in an all day white out blizzard sent us home at the end of the day gave each older kid a younger kid to drop off at their house first
i live in idaho and we go to school no matter how much snow there is, its just whether or not the roads are clear cause i think it would be better to not go to school then slide and fall off a cliff
This is mainly because so many children are bussed to school and to alleviate the risk of accidents. Its a lawsuit waiting to happen. And - High schools have inexperienced drivers 16+ driving to school as well.
Why do people in places like Sweden, who ALWAYS get snow, think that in America every town/state knows how to even DEAL with snow. Move someplace warmer if you think you should bitch about not everyone knowing, innately, how to deal with that amount of snow?!?!?!
Well. More than half of Sweden never gets snow. Maybe you should check your facts before YOU bitch about stuff.

People pf Europe: please acquaint yourselves eith the general bignesses of the U.S. and Canada. Oftentimes, distances travelled to school are something beteeen a ' slog' and ' quite a ways' , depending on where one lives. Ergo buses, snowplowing, etc.
I’ve never heard of canceling for fog and only for snow when there is a lot
Every day the school is closed, the school looses government money. It also means makeup days which costs more money. Schools balance kids lives over money lost.
Makeup days are also what cause the schools to start to early. They tack the missed days onto the front of the upcoming year, so they don't lose funds.

My school doesn’t close for fog, only like a foot of snow does it close
It depends on where you live. Some areas don't have the equipment to clear roads for schools.
it dosen't get canceled for fog but for snow it gets dangers for buses to drive and since most kids go to school on a bus
If it's thick enough and people can't see to drive then yes, school can be canceled for fog

I have no idea what anyone does outside exactly three countries, one of them US, and I think it's a case of "whatever is unfamiliar is weird" here. BTW, clubs at US schools were a great way to pad your CV to get into college/uni, and to not go home to shi**y circumstances. So I'm for the clubs. That 7 AM thing, eh, I grew up in farm country. We were up anyway!
Some of the questions were odd even to me in the UK. In most instances, in many countries, we all have various versions of similar things. Pools in some schools, water fountains in some, after school activities are common place (but not called clubs), ditto lockers. The only thing that stuck out for me was the time of day lessons started and that has pros and cons. Younger children are (usually) naturally earlier risers but there are studies that show older children benefit from later starts. I like hearing how other countries do things but I'd really like another country to take a turn. Bored Panda - why not take the focus OFF the US, just for a moment, and pick countries that are less known and maybe we can share info from them?

Jeezzz relax!! Just because things are done differently here doesn't necessarily mean it's weird. I had the opportunity to go to schoo in different countries because of the nature of my parents work. I can tell you with great assurance that every one had their own way of doing things and that's all okay.
A lot of the questions are "do American schools ___?". Which is a fair question... since these people's perception of American schools is from TV. Take cheerleaders for example. Do all American schools have cheerleaders? Or is it just a few of them, but cheerleaders make a good character for a TV show or a movie, so they get over-represented. Same with cafeterias, maybe only like 30% of schools have one, but since it makes such a convenient set, 100% of schools on TV have one.

One trend I'm noticing, which is a frequent thing on 'People in the U.S. *insert here*' is that a lot of people posting don't seem to understand just how BIG the U.S. is. Cars are a culture here but of necessity. Public transportation may work in major cities but we have vast areas where you need a car. There is so much diversity in even what is available. I went to a K-12 school once where there were 22 of us my freshman class and we were one of the largest classes they'd had in years, and I've been to a school where my graduating class was over 2,000 people. Both those schools were in the same State just opposite ends of it. Canada gets it, but still, it's something people keep forgetting.
Australia - nearly the same size as the USA and public transport does work for students - dedicated school buses.One school I taught at (P-12) had the first student picked up before 7:30 and dropped off by around 5 - a long day if you're 5! All except three students came by bus (those three lived next to the school and were always late!) Our catchment area was well over a thousand square kilometres. In suburban areas where, especially in primary school (P-6) most parents will drop off and pick up, traffic is horrendous at those times and far more dangerous. Walking, riding or public transport is far safer for everyone.

I live in Canada... we do some of these. Some of these just seem... plain weird...
I don't live in the USA, but I would wager that most of the people here aren't comparing "US schools vs other schools in the world" so much as "US schools vs THE SCHOOLS IN MY OWN COUNTRY because actually I have no goddamn clue what schools in other countries/continents are like". Some of the posts are true for Germany, or at least not totally unseen, and I definitely know of other countries that do some things in schools differently than we do... different countries are different, who'd have thought.
Here's one that they didn't list: SROs (Student Resource Officer) at high schools. We had a police officer assigned to my high school, hypothetically to help students out. In reality, he harrassed some students and was basically useless (I literally reported being threatened by another student with a gun, and he didn't take a statement, register a complaint... nothing).
This just makes me think the U.S. is the only normal country and European countries are weird.
This is weirdly,assuming that all European schools are exactly the same and we all find the exact same things about American schools strange.
I’m American and I am just now learning some of these things. My school did not have hall passes, a cafeteria, dances, vending machines, buses, and whatnot.
US here. What your school has also depends on the wealth of your school district. These can be extremely different from school to school. My elementary-Jr High was in a very well funded system and we had a lot of opportunities and resources in school. Breakfast and lunch was provided and both were awesome. In High School, I moved states and was in poorer district. The school was small, over crowded and underfunded. We had "open lunch" because not all the students could fit in the caf, so we could leave campus for lunch hour. This school was in the mountains so yes the bus took me from home 27 miles to school everyday. If it was too cold, the diesel in the bus would gel and half the kids who lived on the other side of the pass got a snow day because the bus couldn't go.
So true! If you lived in a very prosperous district, your school benefitted from that. If you own a house in that district, it's worth more because the schools are usually a cut above the rest, and most Americans want their children to go to the best school possible even if the taxes there are higher.

Maybe it's just my state of mind this morning but it seemed like most of those were "look what dumbf*cks they are in America" statement and not really "you do this and it's different from us. Why?" And a lot of the questions were just strange. Lockers? Water fountains? Lunch rooms?
Well in my school in Germany we really didn't have lockers, lunchrooms or waterfountains. Everyone brought thier food and water and just ate in the hall or outside. Also I don't think the questions are meant menacingly. It's more of a "wait, it's really like that and not just a clichee we see in movies?!"

Most of these are just due to the fact that american schools are usually huuuge. I went to a big business school in Europe when I was 16 and we had almost all of the same "anomalies" listed above. When you have 5000+ students you need to organize stuff on another scale.
I did a placement in a US school about 10 years ago. I was so shocked by how old fashioned the teaching was. All the classrooms were just grim lines of individual desks facing front, and it was pretty common for kids to just sit there in total silence while a teacher lectured at the front. The schools were absolutely obsessed with quantative assessments (such as useless multiple choice tests). A lot of teachers were very poorly qualified and not really learning specialists in any modern sense. That sort of treat-everyone-the-same "talk and chalk" teaching style disappeared in the 1980s in my home country. It was a real shock.
As an Australian, our public schools don't supply lunches or cafeterias (although some country schools have them). Our students eat their lunch sitting in the yard, or if very young, in the classroom before being allowed out to play. I did work in a private school where staff had a room to eat lunch and had soup supplied if wanted. Swimming pools? Only in private or similar schools. Clubs? Voluntary and in everyone's own time (staff and students). Bathroom passes? We expect our students to wash themselves outside school time. Toilet visits? Usually up to the individual teacher, and refused when too frequent with no reason. Buses to school? I worked at one school where all except three students came to school by bus. The furthest boarded the bus at 7:30 and got home around 4:45 - a long day for a 5 y.o. in Prep. Many students in suburban schools are driven by their (usually) mother - resulting in traffic jams around 8:30 to 9 a.m. and the equivalent in the afternoon.
It all comes down to money and government. All of it. I used to have a difficult time understanding why my parents put me in private schools. Turns out public schools are, at best, just weak.
Deja vu. You guys had basically the same post (most of the same entries) last week. And two weeks ago. And a month ago.
I don’t miss those school lunches but I feel like everyone would always get super excited when it was chicken strip day. Those weren’t bad. I like the mini breakfast pizza it was tasty. But that’s about it. As a kid I absolutely loved snow days and when there was no school. Kids today won’t be able to experience it because there’s virtual learning. Anyways I’m so glad to be finished with school. I hate getting up so early.
Some of these I found odd. Is it really only America that has buses, lockers and clubs?
Canada has all three! My school even had a D&D club, before Covid.
