On your “sticky note” record the name of the countries you researched and the number of days, hours and minutes that students in each country attend school.

Please put your name on the post.  ]]> 2017-08-07 19:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180298247 Sam Mitchell https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180406983 I have decided to select children from Norway and children from England. In Norway, the average school year is 190 days. Children in England go to school for 195 days. Similar to the U.S., Norwegian kids go to school Monday-Friday. they start at about 8:30 AM and end at around 2-3 PM. England is similar also, as kids there go Monday through Friday. Schools there normally start at around 8:30 AM and end about 3:00 PM. Let's say that kids in Norway start school at 8:30 AM and end at 3:00 PM. If so, that would mean that kids in Norway spend about 390 minutes a day in school. 390 minutes X 190 days = 74,100 days in school a year for kids in Norway. If school starts at 8:30 AM and ends at 3:00 PM in England, that means they spend an equal amount of time per day in school as kids in Norway (390). 390 minutes a at X 195 days = 76,050 minutes a year.]]> 2017-08-08 19:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180406983 Kyleigh O'Donnell kyleigh_od https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180408151 JAPAN
For my first research project I have decided to select Japan. Japanese students go to school 5 days a week like american kids. However if desired, you may take optional classes on Saturday which can be free. Public schools in Japan usually consist of  200 days for a school year. Japan consist of about 40 weeks of school if you are counting a school week and no additional classes or 29 days if counting weekends. The hours per day students attend is between 6-7. The minutes per day students may attend is from 360-420.
AUSTRALIA
For the next country I chose, I chose Australia. Like American kids, Australian kids go to school 5 days a week. Australia however, divides their school year into terms. Terms last about 9-11 weeks each and there are four terms for every school year. In conclusion there is about 36-44 weeks a school year. Usually school days last from 9-3:30. This makes it about 6.5 hours every day. So in average the minutes per day for student education is 390 minutes.

American students only go to school 180 days a year. U.S. students have 36 weeks of school but China only has 35 weeks. The reason China has more days is because China goes to school 6 days a week instead of 5.Chinese students go to school 20 percent more days than we do. Now Canada has school for 190 days except for Quebec who has 180 instead. Canadian students start school in September after Labor Day. On the other hand they end in June. ]]> 2017-08-08 20:55:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180412905 I chose https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180424579 2017-08-08 23:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180424579 Will Chapman https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180522745             I decided to look up two countries, Brazil and India. 

My first country was India, students that are 1-5 go to school in India 200 days a year which is also 800 hours which means that would be 48,000 minutes each year. Although students that are 6-8 go to school 220 days a year which would then be 1,000 hours of teaching a year also in minutes it would be 60,000 minutes each year. Indian students go to school 25 percent more than the typical 180 school days here in the U.S. 
        My second country was Brazil. Brazilian students go to school 200 days a year which is also 800 hours=48,000 minutes. But they split the days into two terms, the terms are usually from February to June and from August to December that is the same from the elementary side of it and the middle school side of it.

The first country is Finland. Finnish students have only 30 hours of school each week, so for them they only have 121,600 minutes each year.They only have 190 days every school year.They also, only have 640 hours a school year.They have no homework.They have 30 hours of school every week.They have 75 minutes for a break and 45 minutes for a lunch.
The next country is Germany.They have 155,584-216,600 minutes of school a year.They also have 832-1,140 hours a year.They have 187-190 days a year.They have 8 weeks

My first country is South Korea. In South Korea the kids go to school from March to February from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. They also split the school year into 2 semesters or quarters and they have 5 days in a week like us with some Saturday classes scattered through out the year. In each classroom they have about 30 kids with about 10 computers to share. In third grade the kids learn the English language. Their teachers teach them math, science, social studies, music, physical education, and many other things. My second country is Iran. The students in Iran go to school about 10 months a year or 200 days. They start in September and end in June. They average about 27 kids per class. From ages 5 to 18, boys and girls learn separately. Their classes start at 7:30 am to 1:00 pm. The total of hours per year is 1,100. Also, there are 330 minutes in a day and 66,000 minutes in a year. ]]> 2017-08-09 20:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180528573 Manya Das manyadas https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180529127 I chose to research about the countries Switzerland and Italy.
Switzerland
In Switzerland, the school year starts between mid-August and mid-September, has two terms or semesters and around 12 weeks holiday a year. All together, throughout the whole year, the children go for a total of 184 days. Children there usually go to school in the morning from around 8:30 am until 11:30 am. They have lunch time for 2 hours and then start again at 1:30 and continue until 3:00 or 4:00 pm. Swiss children go to school 5 days a week or on all the days of the week except for  Wednesdays, it depends on where you are living. That works out as 920 days (4600 hours) in one academic year.
Italy
In Italy, primary schools ordinarily schedule classes for 30 hours per week,  Mondays to Saturdays. Children in Italy go to school 200 days per year. In the entire year, students stay at school 1,000 hours per year. The school goes from mid-September to mid-June and is divided into three terms.]]> 2017-08-09 20:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180529127 Elizabeth Jones https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180538737 I chose China and Russia.

In China, you have about 238 days (from September-July). Each day lasts from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM with a two hour break for lunch. 238 days x 6.5 hours per day = 1547 hours. 1547 hours x 60 minutes per hour = 92,820 minutes!

In Russia, you have about 180 days (from September to late May). Each day lasts from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM - also 6.5 hours per day. 180 days x 6.5 hours per day = 1170 hours. 1170 hours x 60 minutes per hour = 70,200 minutes!

As you can see, different countries have different ideas for education.

In Australia, schooling lasts for 13 years and students go to school 200 days a year. There are three terms, each thirteen weeks long.]]> 2017-08-09 23:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180538973 Karina Lu https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180539835 I wanted to research about schools in Iran and Vietnam.     

IRAN
Iran is a nation in the northern hemisphere with a school year similar to European countries. The average number of students per classroom is 27. From ages 5 to 18, boys and girls are educated separately. The students in Iran go to school for 10 months a year, or about 200 active days per year, from September to June. Classes start at 7:30 am - 1:00 pm, which is 5.5 hours per day.
5.5 hours x 200 days = 1,100 hours per year
5.5 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 330 minutes per day
330 minutes/day x 200 days/year = 66,000 minutes per year

VIETNAM
In Vietnam, children normally start school at 6 years old. But at 4 or 5 years old , they sometimes are taught the alphabet and basic math. The country's literacy rate is over 90%. The school year usually last from September until May and consist of 36 weeks, which is 216 days per year. The school week in Vietnam is 6 days, beginning on Monday and ending on Saturday, but children start at 7 am - 12 pm, which is 5 hours per day.
5 hours x 216 days = 1,080 hours per year
5 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 300 minutes per day 
300 minutes/day x 216 days/year = 64,800 minutes per year

BRAZIL: In Brazil, school is called Escola. . The school day is divided into 3 sessions. 7:00am to 12:00, 12:00-5:00pm, then finally 5:00pm to 10:00 pm. The students attend 1 session. This depends on the school and the area. (State, city, etc.) The students go to school for at least 200 days per school year. That is 300 minutes per day and 60,000 minutes per school year. Also, in hours it would be 5 hours per day and 1000 hours per school year. This The first school term runs through August to December. The second term goes from February to June. The Federal Government said that July is a holiday month.

JAMAICA:  The schools in Jamaica are  modeled of British Education System. Class usually starts at 8:00am to 2:00-2:30pm. Some schools there have extra lessons for children who want to improve there grades. They have 3 terms from September 5 through December 18,January 4 through March 18, then finally April 4 through July 8. The Jamaicans go to school about 273 days per year which is 1638 hours.

Children in Kenya attend school 195 days in a year. School is separated  into 3 terms each 13 weeks long.If you add all that up you get 195. The school day runs from 8am to 4pm.That leads up to a total of 1,560 hours and a total of 93,600 mites in a school year
The kids in France however only go to school 140 days a year.The school year in France is separated into 4 seven week terms.If you add  it up it adds to 140. This is because kids in France don't go to school on Sundays and Wednesdays.The school day runs from 8 am to 4pm and there is a half day on saturday.That leads to a total of 1008 hours and a total of 60,480 minutes in a school year. ]]> 2017-08-10 21:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180662959 Victor Cristian https://padlet.com/wendy_gutman/Research1/wish/180666745 The two countries I have chosen are  Romania and Argentina.
