Family Connection
Encourage students to share their daily
school schedules with family members,
highlighting things they have and haven’t
studied yet in each subject. Students
can also keep charts at home to share
their progress in various school subjects.
Remind them to check off activities once
they are completed. Model: We’ve already
studied schools around the world and
learned language for making and giving
excuses, but we haven’t had a test yet.

Excuse Me! Bulletin Board
Create a bulletin-board display titled Excuse
Me! to collect examples of especially creative
or unbelievable excuses. Cut out a variety
of speech bubbles for students to complete
as they explore Unit 1. Begin the display
by filling in one or two of the bubbles with
sample excuses: I haven’t studied for the test
yet because I’ve just moved here! I haven’t
read the book because it fell in the pool and
is still wet! I’ve already done my homework
but I left it at my grandfather’s house.
Highlight the words yet and already by writing
them in second colors or bolder letters.

ALL ABOUT
SCHOOL

1
Read and listen to the statements. All of them are true! Talk about them
with a partner. Which one is the most surprising? Why?
1 Some kids have didaskaleinophobia, which is the fear of going to school.
2 Richard Branson, creator of Virgin Records and the Virgin Atlantic
airline, didn’t finish secondary school.
3 There is an alternative school in Canada that doesn’t test students, and
it doesn’t follow a strict schedule, either. Students decide how to spend
the school day and which activities to attend. They’re grouped not by
their age, but by their interests.
4 Finnish students rarely take exams or do homework until they are into
their teens. But they rank at the top or near the top in international
tests in science, math, and language.
5 China has the longest school day in the world. A Chinese student spends
almost eleven hours in the classroom each day!
6 In South Korea, secondary school students applying for college all take
the same standardized test. On the day of the test, people come to the
school to support the students who are going to take the test. They give
out candy, tea, and other treats to the students. Some cabs give the
students free rides, and additional trains and buses run before and after
the exam.

Hey, you guys. I’m only twelve years old, and I’m already under so
much stress. I think I’m developing didaskaleinophobia. Have you
ever had it? It feels like school is one long punishment. I have so
much homework! I barely have time to talk to my friends! What
should I do?
cookie48
Uh-oh. That’s not good. Have you told your parents? I told mine
about my situation, and we ended up having a meeting with my
teacher. That might sound stressful, but it was actually helpful. My
teacher still gives a lot of homework, but she helps me manage it.
Things aren’t perfect, but I feel better.
34309843_kc
Take my advice, boy1_xyz: Don’t tell your parents! Trust me – they’ll
think you just don’t like studying. You’ll end up in more trouble than
you were in before.
imsosmart
I agree with cookie48. Tell your parents about your situation and
about how it’s making you feel. Show them all your homework.
cute_girl28
I disagree with 34309843_kc. I had the same problem. At first,
I couldn’t tell my parents, but then every Sunday, I’d start feeling
sick at the thought of going to school the next day. I finally told my
parents. They talked with my teachers, and it helped. At the end of
the school year, I ended up transferring to an alternative school. My
new school suits me much better. We have a lot more freedom. We
choose our subjects and school activities. I’ve been here for a month
now, and I’m MUCH happier.
citymouse1
Hey, cute_girl28. Your school sounds reaaaaaally cool! Where is it?
techieboy03
I’ve already researched alternative schools, citymouse1. There are
some great ones in the U.K. I’ve also researched similar schools
in Scotland. There are some really cool ones that are unusual and
interesting. I’m guessing, but I think your school might be in London,
cute_girl28. Am I right?
cute_girl28
You’re close, techieboy03. Good guess! You’re a great detective.
There are a lot of alternative schools in London. I know because I
researched it, too! My school is in Brighton. I just love my school!
boy1_xyz
I like your idea. I think an alternative school would fix my problem.
But those schools are difficult to get into, and there are only a few
of them.
rainbowgirl
Why not try homeschooling? I’m being homeschooled, and I really
like it. My mom teaches me all the subjects. We go on field trips a lot.
And once a year, we go to an event just for homeschoolers. It’s very
exciting. I look forward to it every summer!

Summary
A twelve-year-old web
forum user asks for
advice. He’s stressed
because he has too
much homework. One
user suggests telling his
parents and meeting with
his teacher. Another user
says he shouldn’t tell his
parents at all. A third
agrees with talking to his
parents. She had a similar
problem and transferred
to an alternative school.
A fourth recommends
homeschooling.

Schedule
A School Day in China
It’s noon, and the home bell is ringing at your school. By now, you’ve probably spent
around seven hours there. Maybe you’ve had five or six class periods, a few short
breaks, and a longer break of up to an hour for lunch. If you think that’s a tough
schedule, you might have to think again! A school day in China can be almost
eleven hours long – that’s three hours longer than the average workday there!
2
Let’s take a look at a typical school day in China. School begins at 7:30 with a
flag-raising ceremony and a speech from the principal. The first three periods last
from 7:45 to 10:20 with three ten-minute breaks in between. At 10:30, students
gather at the sports field to do half an hour of morning exercises. Chinese
people believe that keeping fit is important, and people of all ages often
make time for exercise during their day. Before the fourth period begins
at 11:25, it’s time to do some eye exercises. The exercises usually take five
minutes and are for strengthening students’ eyesight.
3
Lunch is at 12:20, but it’s a short break: only twenty minutes. After lunch,
there’s a study period of one hour, followed by a fifteen-minute break.
Then it’s back to the classroom for the fifth period and some more eye
exercises. By then it’s 3:40, but the home bell hasn’t rung yet! There are
three more periods before school finishes at ten past six. What’s more, when
the school day has ended, students can’t always go home and relax. Weekday
evenings and most of the weekend are often packed with extra lessons and
activities, such as playing sports, learning a musical instrument, and learning
another language.
4
As you can see, Chinese students work hard, and their free time is very
limited. All students, especially student leaders, have learned from a young
age to be good students, get good grades, and help other students do the
same. Behind this tough schedule is the belief that a good education is the
key to a bright future.
Copy the schedule into your notebook and complete.

Wow. My brother’s annoying, but he’s never done anything that bad.

A School Day with a Difference
1
2
“Moi, Sofia!” “Terve, Aleksi!” That’s how students and teachers say hello
to each other at Anna Hansson’s school in Finland. Students at this school
call their teachers by their first names. Anna shouts “Moi” to her friends, too,
when she arrives at school at 7:45 in the morning. She’s been a student there
since first grade, so she knows everybody.
Anna’s school is different from most schools in Europe and the United
States. First, Anna and her classmates decide, along with their teacher, what
their weekly activities will be. Also, students work at their own pace and don’t
always do the same things. Some may be doing math, and others might be
doing something practical. This month, Anna has practiced cooking and
making a magazine in different workshops.
3
4
5
6
Anna and her classmates don’t learn by memorizing facts. Working together and gathering
information is more important in this system. They ask their teacher for help whenever they need
it. Students are generally very focused and active, and the teacher doesn’t have to tell them to
behave.
Breaks are an important part of the school day. After a double period (ninety minutes), students
have a double, thirty-minute break. Teachers encourage students to go out and get some fresh air
even if the weather is bad. Being active makes students hungry, so lunchtime is also very popular!
At Anna’s school, students get free hot meals every day. Today’s lunch is everybody’s favorite –
meatballs and mashed potatoes! It’s served on tables with tablecloths and flowers in vases.
Chores have always been part of the curriculum at Anna’s school. They include taking care of
plants, collecting trash, recycling, and composting. Students also help in the library and in the
kitchen.
School is over by two o’clock. Most parents work, so in the afternoon, there are clubs and hobby
groups before students go home. Students can study Japanese, learn an instrument, and do arts
and crafts. When Anna returns home in the evening, she’s free to do what she likes because she
hardly ever has any homework!

Opinion paragraph
Read the opinion paragraph about homework.
Homework Does Not Make Students Learn Better
Does homework make students learn better? In my opinion,
it does not. In fact, having a lot of homework makes students
dislike school and become stressed. Students who are anxious and
don’t like school cannot learn well. Students who have hours and
hours of homework cannot relax and spend quality time with their
families. I believe that school schedules should allow students to get
most of their schoolwork done at school. In this way, when they get
home, they can be free to enjoy time with their family or just relax.
In my opinion, a more relaxed student will perform better in class.
Too much homework prevents this!

TEACHING TIP
st
21 Technology Literacy
Ask: Did you use a
calculator to estimate
how many hours you
did any activities
during a typical week?
Why or why not?
(Answers will vary.
Some students will
find math easy to do
using mental math;
others will prefer to
use calculators.)

My chart shows that in a typical
week, I spend most of my time at
school or studying. But I also spend
time with my friends, my family, and
on the phone and the Internet. That’s
important! I don’t spend enough
time exercising. I’m going to work on
managing my time better!
