School life in France is very different than school life in America. In France the school day is much longer than in the U.S. They also have a longer lunch because their school day is so much longer. In France they start school at a very young age because education is very important there. In America we usually don't start school until the age of 5 or 6. In the French school system they have to take the Baccalauréat which you have to pass in order to move onto college studies, while in the U.S. we take the SAT which you can take as many times as you want until you get a score your satisfied with. In America schools have more money so they offer tons of extra curricular activities where as in France their schools don't have as much money so they are rarely offered any extra curricular activities. French teenagers have no social life, their life revolves around school and their education. The only time they have to see friends is on Saturday and that's only if their parents allow them to. Teenagers in America have to whole weekend to socialize and spend time with family. French students usually have 4-6 hours of homework every night where in America we only have 1-2 hours of homework and some nights we have none. There are many differences between student life in France and student life in America.
