What are some differences between American schools and Australian schools?

Answer 1

well first up, i am Australian, and i know that the schools here are more laid back kind of attitude, but that doesn't mean that we don't learn anything! as the school i am going to at the moment, is one of the top schools in Queensland, and most time during class (mainly in English) we sit around joking with each other and the teacher and watching YouTube videos on the screen

Answer 2

There is no significant government money spent on education in Australia which means that Australian kids are probably the worst educated in the developed world. This is somewhat proven by the ridiculous questions and atrocious spelling used by many Australian kids in Wiki.

Answer 3

Australian schools tend to differ from American schools in that they are not contained within a single large building. Usually, there are numerous buildings scattered around a campus.

Many schools have a Primary school (in some states this includes years Prep to 7 or, in other states, Kindergarten to year 6 and high school (yr 7 or 8 - 12). More and more schools are opting for a "Middle school", giving students more of a transition from Primary to Secondary. these middle schools may incorporate from years 6 - 9 or 5- 8, depending on how the schools choose to divide the grades.

One major difference is that, in Australia, most students take their own lunches, although there is a "tuckshop" or "canteen" option for those wishing to buy their lunch.

Australian students in almost all schools wear a school uniform. This is one of the standards that must be adhered to.

What is sometimes known as "gym class" in American schools is simply referred to as PE, PT or Sport in Australian schools.
