Section One - Part D Les Écoles The school day in a French-speaking country is organized differently than yours. Many times, the students do not change rooms--the teachers do. The students generally do not have lockers since they stay in the same room throughout the day. Generally, the students have a specific plan of study and they do not have a great deal of choice about what courses they take. Though it varies from country to country, most schools require their students to begin learning their first foreign language in grade school and by the time they are 12 or 13 years old, they begin taking their second foreign language class. Most schools require their students to wear uniforms as you can see in some of these links. Do visit the links to take some time to see what the school buildings and students are like.
