Alex, 3 - 4 lessons from class 1 to 4 and 40 min each. Does this mean they only have half a day of school or something like that, since here (Belgium) elementary is about 5 hours lessons a day. A school day for elementary starts at 8.30 and ends at 15.30 in most cases. Guess I'm just to used to our system, when you leave elementary you get 7 or 8 lessons a day, each lesson than is 50 minutes. We also have 12 grades instead of 11. It's interesting to see that there's so much differences between educational systems.
Do children go to a kindergarten class? And if they have so less school, on normal days, to they get a lot of vacation? I mean like with christmas, how long can they stay at home. Is there a long vacation (like here in the summer we have 2 months).
How are children taken care of if their parents have got to go to work in the morning or afternoon, when the lessons haven't started. Do schools take care of them, if yes from what hour? Or are there special childcare services that take care of such children.
Thanks.
