I guess I’ve never really considered what people from other countries think about the American high school experience.
But our lifestyles are on display for all to see around the world because of the number of American movies and TV shows we produce. And a lot of those have to do with the high school experience in the U.S.
So, naturally, folks from other countries are confused about some of the stuff that goes on in our schools and they have some questions.
Let’s see what they had to say.
1. Time for some chow.
I never thought of it like that…
why do american school lunches look like prison meals like i go to a shitty school and our lunches arent even that gross
