I wish I could study in Korea ✍️🤓

My school starts at 8.30 in morning and ends at 2.50 .....also I have a extra class in school only .. from 3.00 to 4.00 ......these are Indian schools 😕😕

I watc hing school k-drama and i be like...

Darcy: if you wanna go to a korean school...think about it first
Also me: i'll ask if i can go to a Japanese school instead....

I have 2:30pm to 9pm Hell here

i dont think its an ordinary school. Most of Korean girl dont wear normal(?) suit.. We wear school uniform..

in malaysia public schools usually start at 7:30 and ends at 1:40 (latest!!) depends on whats your grade. mon to wed ends at 1:40 whilst thurs and fri ends at 12:30 heheh

each period 1h30 mins is quite a lot well i defnetly prefer the lebanese school bcz we learn 3 languages (arabic.french and english) and i am taking summer school.of.spanish language so i really like here

My school starts at 08:25 and ends at 16:10 oof

My school starts at 7:30 and usually ends after three blocks at 12:50, some days it ends after five blocks at 16:10,that depends on your schedule. After each block we have 20 minutes break, but never lunch.

Omg she has shooky from bt21 i guess??!?!!is she an army too???

Here in Brazil, my class start at 7:30 and finish 16:00

My school starts at 8:30 and we finish at 18:30😑😪

I live in Korea, and go to art school
It is very hard😭 my school end 9:20p.m

한국학교가 보편적이지 않은 학교네요 ...

My school starts at 8:00 and ends at 1:45

In most of Arabic countries school starts in 8am and end in 3pm or 4pm maximum, so for me it's bretty good, Friday and Saturday are holiday...🖤💜
The Korean girl is army and once l guess🤭
I'm army and once too😊😌💜🎉

Do Jewish vs. Arabs! (I'm jewish and I hated every minute of school.. they basically teach you nothing.)

They all great :)

My school, in Thailand. We start at 8.30 and end in 7.30 in the evening 😴

She : this is what Korean lie to drink “banana milk “
Jk : same here
L’maoo

i came here for darcie

usually we start school at 7:00 in the morning and end at 5:10 in the afternoon, we have 9 classes, and 13 subjects
SO MUCH WORK!?

But I got this random question "why do I always see koreans specially those in high schools wear white shoes? Like is that a cultural thing or what?

When she said BTS I was like AHHHHHH BTS YASSS ARMYYY

That is so unrealistic of a typical South Korean high school student and mostly definitely that American high school as well. Not a good representation.

i love bts too 🥰

6:45 i can hear jeongyeon say "i feel so speeciarr"

7:45 to 2:30, 4 minutes to get to each class, and a 30 minute lunch, classes are 90 minutes

I love this ❤️

? 달씨님네같은 학교보다 일반 인문계 고등학교 생활 찍는게 더 리얼할듯,,,,ㅜ

My school starts at 8:25 and end at 3:20 we get 2 breaks in between classes that are 15 minutes long lunch break is 35 minutes long and each class is 45 minutes long and i have 8 classes 😭

Did she say 77 is cold???

I love both of these girls, but neither of their schools are good representations of high school life in their respective countries.

Yeah most high schools are not like that.... in the US i can't speak to south Korea, but like I'm a junior in high school and I don't believe this is a good rep. for what normal high school is

Where is her school uniform? Most high school students in Korea should wear uniforms.
And Only a few specific schools have their own dormitories. Others not.
I think she isn’t general case. Of course, every students in Korea are studying all day like her. It’s the most inefficient thing in Korea.
Many people try to change present system of education. But it is really hard.

school starts at 8:05, we get out at 3:05 and we have 4 minute breaks between every period which are 90 minutes each

I would say an actual public u.s school would be better

I go to a charter school and my classes start at 8:15 am and end at 3:25. We have 4 blocks each day and they are 1 hour and 30 minutes long. We do not get any breaks between, just 5 minutes to switch classes. Our lunch is thirty minutes long and we are not allowed outside of the cafeteria during that time. We also have to wear uniforms...also most students just take core classes and dual credits, so no fun classes like art or PE


Yea it kinda sucks

I really don’t think this is a fair comparison. The girl from America goes to an art school in LA, I think it would be much different from most of the students that goes to a public school in America. Same with Darcie too

The things (me &) Darcie likes????
Uhhh. BTS

they're both so pretty :((

My school Middle-High starts at 9:00 and we have 55 minute classes and a 35 minute free period America.

My school starts at 7:53am but I be there at 7:40 and Class are 1 hour long lunch starts at 12:14 and our lunchea are free we have 4 minute breaks between hours and it ends at 2:45 pm I'm from Michigan

My school starts at 8:00 and ends at 3:25, classes are about 50 minutes each, we our lunch is from 12:49 to 1:40 and we have 7 classes a day, 3 mins in between each class. I'm from America :)

Both of my middle school and high school(Grade 7~Grade 12) start at 6:20. That's the morning studying time and we have to do extra work written on the blackboard other than school work or homework during this "golden time". First block starts at 7:00. Lunch break is from 11:40 to 12:10. There's little break time between classes. School ends at 5:00(or later, depends on the teacher of last block's mood ) and there are 10 classes everyday. We arrive at home around 5:30 or 6:00 and start doing homework assignments right away. We must hand everything in the next day morning at 6:20 so we have to stay up late until 1~3 AM everyday. (if we get to sleep for 5 hours then we're considered lucky!) I'm from China~

My school starts at 8:05 but you have to get there at 7:30 and it ends at 3:30 all of my classes are 45 minutes

my school starts at 7:45 and ends at 2:45. Academic classes are around a hour and a half long, other classes such as art, spanish, Theater, gym and ect are only 45 mins each (everyone has 2 of those classes) and lunch is 25 min

my school starts at 7:30am and ends at 4:35pm; i live in brazil

My school starts at 8:30. Lunch is 11:10 to 12:10. It ends at 2:45. 4 classes that are an hour and 15 (ish) minutes each. 5 minutes between each. Lol, not from America, I'm from Canada.

My school begins 7:45 and ends at 13:30, sometimes 14:15.
~Aruba

Anyone else think the American girl looks like a boy with the Snapchat filter that makes you look like a girl?

my school starts at 7:30 and ends at 11:30, but there are days it ends up at 17:30

Well my school starts at 7:30 and ends at 16:20 sometimes even at 17:20😭🥺~swiss

getting someone from an art school probably wasn’t the most universal representation of american school. js
