This post is about school in Laos, my mom told me that she went to school in Laos but only for a little bit. She didn't go to school for a long time because when my mom went to school she said you don't have to be any certain age to go to school, like my dad, he didn't go to school until he was 9 years old! She also said that school was in a building and there were no separate desks, there was just one long table with a bench and everyone would sit at the same table. She also said that there was no talking allowed in class, the teachers were very strict. My mom said that even though Laotian parents were very strict, teachers were even more strict. She also said that the teachers and principals had more of a right to discipline the kids than the parents did. Usually discipline was if you had a little bad behaviour you would get hit on your hand with a wooden ruler. But if you were really, really bad behaved you would get hit on your body with a bamboo stick, particularly your behind. Besides the discipline, you did actually learn things in school, you would have a different subject for each different day of the week. Like you would have math on one day and then you would have language on another day. You would only have one class a day where you would learn one subject all day. School hours were about the same as ours, they were maybe 9:00 am to about 2:00 pm. They had some normal school supplies like pencils and they would sometimes write on clip boards. So that's pretty much what I learned from my mom about school in Laos.
School in Laos is obviously not like school that we go to. Discipline is definetly not as strict and neither are the teachers. We also learn different things in one day, and everyone has a desk of their own. And usually children would start school at the age of 4 or 5. The school hours are somewhere around 9:00 am to 3:20-3:30 pm. We can have a lot of different school supplies like scissors, markers and glue sticks.
As you can see, schools around the world are very different. Do you know any other countries that have different school routines?
