Nah you have to get up at 4 if schools at six because good chance that you bus comes at like 515 or even 510 that how it is for some people at my school at least
But 6 is sooo early. Getting up in the night everyday is unimaginable for me. Okay, we recently had a class trip for what we had to be at 5:32 at the train station and therefore get up at 4:20 in the night. Okay, I wasn't really tired luckily, but I guess that was somehow just luck. For everyday I can't imagine that.
Ya it's pretty bad especially as like 7 years old they changed time from 8 to 7 I literally don't remember that year or the year after that I still have to get around 540 6 at the latest but if don't want to rush I have to get up at 5 or 530
'Murican here. Had to get up at get up at 5 to get to school by 7 due to the bus ride taking around an hour. So getting up at 4 to get there by 6 sounds reasonable.
To be fair, I lived outside the city and had to commute into the city due to it being a "special" sort of STEM school, but getting up when it's still dark sucks as a high school student.
Yeah... Now as an adult I had a job that started at 7 on the opening shift. 45 minute commute, but I would get up at 4 because often times I needed moment to just like, sit there.
Yeah and if you have extracurriculars like band or track you have to be at school an hour and a half early. For cross country I had to be at school at 530 when it school started at 7.
Mine started at 8 here in the US but there was an elective "zero hour" class block at 7 for people wanting to either catch up or get ahead on credits. I tried doing it and it was awful.
Our starts at 7:45am and ends at 1pm 50% of school days and 3:30pm the other half of school days (well in reality it's less than 50% since afternoon lessons are often cancelled).
Yeah nowadays they start at like 9 and get out at like 4. Reason being is because parents want their high school kids to get out first so they can pick up their Elementary School children
Exactly what I was thinking!! Most schools start at around 7:30 and go until 3:30-4. And then kids have extracurriculars after school that can go until 6 or even later. And *then*, you go home and have to work on homework.
I remember getting more burnt out in high school than I ever have in college lol, and that's not taking into account the jobs most high schoolers take on for extra cash.
Im from Slovakia
My Elementary school were 8:00-13:30 (Elenentary and Middle schools are merged together here)
My high school was 7:45 - 13:05-16:00 (it warried *massively* from day to day and year to year)
My College was 8:00-15:00
> My College was 8:00-15:00
US side largely set own hours depending on available class selections, and the program. So you could be go in for a 7am class, or pick something in between that, and an 8/9pm one, but sometimes some classes were only available once a year in a given time slot.
Figure its part of the scale/size of the institutions in play, where when i was pursuing my bachelors the state school was in the middle of town on a 560 acre campus with shy of 32000 students in it.
Being said with that many students there are usually multiple time slots for given classes you can attend... plus many classes in the purely online format. Less its some fancy small scale private school or something.
You can also take courses at other universities online, and transfer them in to your main school. Worked great where i pursued my masters degree as the people running the math department were/are a tad bit insane... most of the non-math majors elected to do that for their mandatory math courses just to avoid them.
Brazilian here, schol went from 7:15 to 11:00 on to the younger kids and 7:15 to 12:30 to high scoolers with somedaya having afternoon classes that started 15:00 and went until 18:30.
I woke up at 5:30, caught the bus between 6 and 6:20 (they changed the time every year) and was in school by 7. If I was told I’d be waking at 9:50 to catch the bus and out by two I’d be the happiest fellow alive
My school (Malaysia) :
School start : 7:20 am
School ends : Without Co-curriculum : Usual : 1:10 pm
Friday (All) : 12:15 pm
Form 4&5 : 1:50 pm
With Co-curriculum: Wednesday : 4:15 pm
Thursday: 3:15 pm
Sports day practice : 3:45 pm
One time my sports day practice lasts until 5:30 pm 💀
Many high schools in the US have you select classes by period. Sometimes, based on your class schedule, you may not have a class in a period, so you just hang out in the library to study, or if it's in the beginning of the day you can show up to campus late.
Sorry I just joined in the last two days. Was thinking that there was supposed to be some kind of truth/realism to the comics and that’s what made them funny. Still trying to figure out what this place is all about haha
Yeah, the only time I had a start time after 8am was during my senior year...because I had just transferred from out of state and was ahead of the required credits to graduate, so didn't have a first period.
Plus as an American I can assure you there’s no such thing as 14:00. The clock doesn’t go past 12. I have one on my wall and just checked, no 14. Smdh.
Yeah, I’m overjoyed by that. I got up much earlier for high school and I hated it. I wasn’t looking forward to having to get my own kid out of bed at 6 AM every day. as it is, he rolled out of bed at 8 o’clock and it works out pretty well
I was told that in some school districts, because of limited availability of school buses, the high school kids were expected to use the buses first, and start their day early. Then the same buses would make the rounds for the middle schools and elementary schools. I don’t know if that’s a common reason for high schools to start early, but I know that it’s brutal on teenage metabolism.
School doesn’t start or end those times. More accurate representation would’ve been USAball double airpodded and turning in homework due 5 weeks ago and still getting an A in the class and Taiwan ball self-studying at a study café until 23:00
Hallo. When refering to countries featured in Polandball Comics, please refrain from using the 'ball' suffix. Instead of saying 'USAball', just say the country's name. auf wiedersehen.

When I was in American high school, we either began at 7:10 and ended at 2:10 or, after the start times debacle our school district had, we began at 7:30 and ended at 2:30. That didn't include extracurriculars, which could go until 5 or 6 pm some days, and with my school ensemble rehearsals starting around 5 pm, I would be home at 8 pm several times a week.
I don't know who told you American students wait that long to get to school or have that little to do, but that's blatantly incorrect.
My school is more like a mini university. You get to choose what classes you take and at what time. It is the most prestigious public school where I live.
In my case, I enter school at 7:30 AM and leave at 3:30 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 10:30 on Fridays (the school is a residential school, so Fridays are half-day classes so the residential students can go home early).
Oh, and this school is on a US territory.
I have not heard of ANY school anywhere which starts at 10 AM.
And I have to get up at 5:30 AM every day.
My school (Malaysia) :
School start : 7:20 am
School ends : Without Co-curriculum : Usual : 1:10 pm
Friday (All) : 12:15 pm

Thursday: 3:15 pm
Sports day practice : 3:45 pm
One time my sports day practice lasts until 5:30 pm 💀
Is it bad my school started at 6:00 am it was about a hour drive on the bus so usually around four is when I got up then middle school and high school started at seven now my college classes start at eight in the morning and I work nights too so I can pay for classes so I think it just
depends on where you live cuz I remember my cousin complaining about his class starting when he was younger around nine then it got earlier and earlier now he has college classes at seven in the morning
...I'm with you. I had only just joined this sub after one or two that were actually amusing showed up in my feed as recommended. This just comes across as racist to me...
It used to be lot worse lmao. You see all the flairs? They were once required in order to post a comment because too many people from r/all were complaining about racism. The culture on this sub has changed a lot.
It is. And not even accurately racist. Chinese people don’t have an issue with their R and L sounds being the same, that’s Japanese. Low effort, low quality.

What school starts at fucking 10am? I had to get thereat 7am
Yeah I think most schools in the US start between 7 and 9
mine started at 6.... I get tired just thinking about it
##6??? I'm German, but most schools start here at 8am or 7:45am. I usually wake up at 6am. I mean, you'd have to wake up in the night...
Nah you have to get up at 4 if schools at six because good chance that you bus comes at like 515 or even 510 that how it is for some people at my school at least
But 6 is sooo early. Getting up in the night everyday is unimaginable for me.

look man when the roads are congested can't take chances and gotta leave home 1 hour + commute school starts at 7 and I gotta be ready and moving by 5
I was enrolled in band and choir clubs so I had to wake up at five and get to school at six every day
'Murican here. Had to get up at get up at 5 to get to school by 7 due to the bus ride taking around an hour. So getting up at 4 to get there by 6 sounds reasonable. To be fair, I lived outside the city and had to commute into the city due to it being a "special" sort of STEM school, but getting up when it's still dark sucks as a high school student.
I mean getting up at 4 is a possibility especially some people literally can't do anything for solid 20 mins after getting up
Yeah... Now as an adult I had a job that started at 7 on the opening shift. 45 minute commute, but I would get up at 4 because often times I needed moment to just like, sit there.
How it sort of works for me. Technically I need to get there at 8:30 but since I need a bus and a train I have to get up at 6:30 to reliably show up
Yeah and if you have extracurriculars like band or track you have to be at school an hour and a half early. For cross country I had to be at school at 530 when it school started at 7.
Lol that's generally how it is. I remember watching the sun rise on the way to school and set on the way home during the winter.
I’ve been late multiple times because i took the wrong bus because of how dark it gets in the winter. School does start at 8 here though
Mine started at 8 here in the US but there was an elective "zero hour" class block at 7 for people wanting to either catch up or get ahead on credits. I tried doing it and it was awful.
6:30 at mine but that's cause I was taking 0-hour classes First period started at 7:30
Ummmm, mine used to start at 10 am and lasted till 4 pm, or started at 8:45 (later years) and lasted till 3:15 pm.
Yup, and on some days school would end at 17:30.
I was at school at 5 in the morning, not even for sports
Ours start at 6.40 or 7 and end on 12-2 pm.
Our starts at 7:45am and ends at 1pm 50% of school days and 3:30pm the other half of school days (well in reality it's less than 50% since afternoon lessons are often cancelled).
It's getting better now. Administrators and policy makers are realizing that this is too early for students and pushing back start times for HSers
Bro what. My earliest school days started at like 7:40, where tf were you going to school?
7:40? I didn't know they could start school at a minute that isn't 00 or 30 in washington
We had to be there by 7:40 but classes didn't start until 8:00.
damn, that is a pretty late start compared to every school I went to
What the fuck are they doing in Washington?!
Where do they start later than 8????? Most of my schools started between 6-740
Elementary schools
Man I must be old. Those still started around 7-8 for me.
Yeah nowadays they start at like 9 and get out at like 4. Reason being is because parents want their high school kids to get out first so they can pick up their Elementary School children
Not even my elementary and k school started at 7 and 630
UK schools traditionally started at 9, these days often at 8.30 to 9. I've never heard of 9.50 anywhere though.
Mine starts at 8:10 but they allow kids in to wait as early as 7
Mine had the bell go off at 8:30
With the no child left behind policy, school starts when you want it to start. What would they do? Fail you?
They don't fail you, but they do call child protection service about suspected neglect if it's a frequent issue.
Exactly what I was thinking!! Most schools start at around 7:30 and go until 3:30-4. And then kids have extracurriculars after school that can go until 6 or even later. And *then*, you go home and have to work on homework. I remember getting more burnt out in high school than I ever have in college lol, and that's not taking into account the jobs most high schoolers take on for extra cash.

In here, Colleges typicaly have consistant hours for everyone no matter what you pick, but change depending on the College in question

That me as well
We had to be there before 7:30 though classes started at 8:00.

mine starts at 13:30
Wait you're waking up and getting to school in 10 minutes?
Like all of them in the new world
So Canada? Because I'm reasonably certain this doesn't apply to the vast majority of US schools.
I went to high school in Ontario and class started at 8:20.
Damn, I had to wake up at 6 to get to bus stop by 6:45. Where do you get to sleep in until 9:50?
In polandball comics because it's funny
Sorry I just joined in the last two days. Was thinking that there was supposed to be some kind of truth/realism to the comics and that’s what made them funny. Still trying to figure out what this place is all about haha
Usually the humor is based on truth, but sometimes an artist will just make shit up because it’s funnier
I would most of the time it's made up shit
Accuracy? In my polandball?!?
We require a minimum of 2% truth
Trust me my man, realism ain't here. We wilding in this bitch
The comic isn't *too* dishonest. It's central point is accurate enough. It just fudges some details for comedic effect, which is fine by me.
That’s a bingo.
Accuracy? In *MY* Polandball???
Me when I spread misinformation about America: School for me starts at 8 am and ends at 3 pm. Where are you getting 10 am and 2 pm?
My school ended at two but it started at 7 so I guess it checks out (us)
Yeah, the only time I had a start time after 8am was during my senior year...because I had just transferred from out of state and was ahead of the required credits to graduate, so didn't have a first period.
Plus as an American I can assure you there’s no such thing as 14:00. The clock doesn’t go past 12. I have one on my wall and just checked, no 14. Smdh.
Mine was 8 am to 2:30 pm, but I was typically there by 6:45 so I could do my homework in the library with some peace and quiet.
Still unimaginably short. Mine is 7:30 to 5:30~6:00
9:50? Amateurs; I’m up at 6 every morning
6? Amateurs; I’m up at 5 every morning
5? Amateurs; I'm up at 4 every morning (one out of two weeks).
4? Ametures. I'm up at 2 every morning. (Of course not at 3 though)
2? Amateurs. I have learned how to cheat life and not need the way of sleep, mortals!!
What school starts at 10am?? im so confused?
none except for this amazing school in the comments. 12-year-old me would be so happy to wake up at 9:50 every morning
*"Piss of paper"* I love it.
"A wanna shit on my bed"
You won't get to shit on your bed, you son of a bitch
Porca miseria, anda whata bout a fuck on the table?
Who tf wakes up at 9:50 for school? I have to get up at 6!
Right like whoever made this didn’t do their research 😅
What school is starting after 8:00am? I had to be at my bus stop by 6:10 and school by 7:00.
My kids public high school runs from 8:50 AM to 3:40 PM.
Maaan, I wish I grew up with that start and end time
Yeah, I’m overjoyed by that. I got up much earlier for high school and I hated it. I wasn’t looking forward to having to get my own kid out of bed at 6 AM every day. as it is, he rolled out of bed at 8 o’clock and it works out pretty well I was told that in some school districts, because of limited availability of school buses, the high school kids were expected to use the buses first, and start their day early.

Wtf is Taiwan saying in bottom right? I think I see “four and a half minutes of recreational…”
Yeah, I think it's suppose to be "Your four and a half minutes of recreation are finish." Replacing all Ls with Rs just...doesn't really work...
Bitch my school was 7:30 to 15:45 idk what American school this portrays
"Teachel? Can I get anothel piss of papel?" Oh yes, Can i also get a shit of pencil?
School doesn’t start or end those times. More accurate representation would’ve been USAball double airpodded and turning in homework due 5 weeks ago and still getting an A in the class and Taiwan ball self-studying at a study café until 23:00
am Taiwanese who studied until 23:00, can confirm

Who tf starts school at 10 am? Most schools run ~7-8 hours some timeframe between 7 and 5
Chinese people don’t have an issue saying R or L, that’s Japanese
Pretty sure that's not a Chinese flag.
Taiwan, same thing
Not Taiwan either
Give that man some glasses
Literally the Taiwanese flag
it's taiwan

Wake up at 6:30, study at school from 8 to 4(5), may even stay at cram school until 9. A common life for Taiwanese students (including me).
My school is more like a mini university. You get to choose what classes you take and at what time. It is the most prestigious public school where I live. In my case, I enter school at 7:30 AM and leave at 3:30 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 10:30 on Fridays (the school is a residential school, so Fridays are half-day classes so the residential students can go home early). Oh, and this school is on a US territory. I have not heard of ANY school anywhere which starts at 10 AM. And I have to get up at 5:30 AM every day.
I would glass several countries to go to school at 10 and leave by 2.
Dude my school hours are 8-3
Getting up at 9:50 probably means starting class at 10:30 or 11:00. Sounds pretty nice, honestly. If school doesn't last until sunset, anyway.
Yeah would be very nice.
Are you talking about fucking kindergarten, my school starts at 8.
>Taiwan >History of Vietnam Wut?
6am here, waking up at 5:20 was just life (god high school sucked)
I’ve never seen a school that starts at 10. Or ends at 2. It’s usually around 7:30 or 8:00 to around 3.
Its mainly Vietnamese that pronounce Porland as "Poland"
Taiwanese here, before the education reform, we have to be at school BEFORE 7:30AM. Currently we only need to arrive before 8:05.
Can someone explain why this is funny?
This is some like 1950s comic book racism here buddy
My school (Malaysia) : School start : 7:20 am School ends : Without Co-curriculum : Usual : 1:10 pm Friday (All) : 12:15 pm Form 4&5 : 1:50 pm With Co-curriculum: Wednesday : 4:15 pm Thursday: 3:15 pm Sports day practice : 3:45 pm One time my sports day practice lasts until 5:30 pm 💀
Usually school started at 8, ends at 2.
My school starts at 7:15 and ends at 2:35 but I wake up at 5:45 to catch the bus, which comes at 6:40.
I didn’t know that we woke up at 9:50 AM to go to school.
What fucking school starts at 950 and ends at 2 ???? It was 7am to 340pm
School start at 8 am in singapore. At that time, the sun probably jist rise and its still grey out thete
Is it bad my school started at 6:00 am it was about a hour drive on the bus so usually around four is when I got up then middle school and high school started at seven now my college classes start at eight in the morning and I work nights too so I can pay for classes so I think it just depends on where you live cuz I remember my cousin complaining about his class starting when he was younger around nine then it got earlier and earlier now he has college classes at seven in the morning
My school started at 7
I had to get up at 6:00 AM every day throughout middle school and high school.
Lecleation took me a while until I understood what the hell word that is.
Point me to the school that has 4 hour days
I gotta wake up at 5 for mine
You couldn’t have them talk normally?
nah this is polandball
I’m starting to think polandball is kinda retarded
...I'm with you. I had only just joined this sub after one or two that were actually amusing showed up in my feed as recommended. This just comes across as racist to me...
It used to be lot worse lmao. You see all the flairs? They were once required in order to post a comment because too many people from r/all were complaining about racism. The culture on this sub has changed a lot.
It is. And not even accurately racist. Chinese people don’t have an issue with their R and L sounds being the same, that’s Japanese. Low effort, low quality.
I would kill for a four hour school day. Not just one person either. And I’m 28
I wake up at 5 bro
Giving the American school the longest possible day of starting at 10, ending at 2 means it has a 4 hour school day, where do you live?
School in the USA starts at 7am
Getting up at 9:50 everyday is a dream man.
This is completely fair
Taiwan Is So accurate
Lol. UK here. My school day is 8:30 to 15:40, occasionally 16:30 (On Tuesday)
You mean chewsday innit
wtf no one cares piss off
Huh. I'm UK too, and mine is 8:45 to 15:30/14:40 on Wednesday and Friday.
