September is fast approaching, and with the Olympics over and the weather getting cooler, many people are changing into long-sleeved clothes, but most are still dressed relatively lightly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the same time, it's time for Alice to move on to middle school.

Since the early 19th century, Americans have believed that everyone should have the opportunity to receive the best education to develop their talents and abilities. This ideal of compulsory education has constantly won the support of the masses, and many leading figures in political and religious circles have pointed out that the prosperity and strength of the United States are in fact due to the popularization of education.

Today, almost all American children have at least eight years of education, 75 percent have graduated from high school, and 25 percent have earned a diploma from a four-year college or university, making the United States one of the most educated countries in the world.

At the same time, due to the partial independence of the legislative power of each state, the school year system is also different from state to state. Alice doesn't know what happened in her previous life, and judging from her current experience, that's the current situation.

That is, it takes six years to go to elementary school, two years to junior high school, and then four years to high school, and when you graduate from the twelfth grade, you are basically eighteen years old.

Theoretically, based on the hundreds of thousands of dollars Alice earned from stock trading in the past few years, the whole family could move to a higher-level school district. However, the specific situation will need to be analyzed.

As far as Alice herself was concerned, it didn't matter which school she attended, and if she were sent to any Eton College, she would be 100% crying out that she would be deprived of her freedom. As for Oscar and Hannah, when it's time to go to school, it's a big deal to send them directly to the East Coast's junior and senior high school boarding middle school, and that's how Alice advises her parents.

Hannah doesn't care about this decision, and Oscar has to admit that he is really looking forward to it after a bunch of rolls.

On the first day of school, Alice and Sissi walked into the campus together.

Looking at the bustling admission students in front of her, Alice said, "Honey, do you feel anything?" ”

Sissi looked around: "Thoughts?" What do you think? ”

"We've been promoted to the seventh grade, and we're no longer elementary school students from now on, and if we want to go back to St. Anto, we'll be a big sister in middle school~"

Sissi glanced at her with disdain: "Isn't it just a hundred yards more?" ”

"Uh...... This kind of thing can't be based on space! ”

Yes, it's really just an extra hundred yards.

St. Anto Elementary School, Johnson Middle School, and Lincoln High School are all in close proximity, and residential areas within a radius of miles are within its radius. It's no exaggeration to say that almost all of Culver City's elementary and middle school students come to school here!

Walking from St. Anto to Johnson, that is, from Alice's number 15 to Sissi's number seven, is as simple as the next door!

"Alas, go to school, go to school!"

Just then, another girl's voice sounded behind them, "Hey, are you two waiting for someone?" Yes...... Wait, are you new 7th graders this year? ”

This is a rather beautiful blonde girl, apparently about thirteen years old, with a long ponytail, smart jeans and a T-shirt top, and she is also a tall and athletic type.

"Hello, I'm Alice Wang, this is Sissi Lawrence, are you?"

Alice was sure she hadn't seen the girl, after all, more than sixty percent of Johnson's students had risen straight up from St. Anto.

"Oh, hello, my name is Ashley, Ashley Olaire, and our family just emigrated from Milan not long ago."

"Oh, you're Italian?"

Sissi's eyes suddenly lit up, she pushed away Alice, who was about to talk, and shook hands with Ashley warmly: "What an honor, I'm French, born in Paris!" ”

"Oh my God, really? Bonjour，mademoiselle，un-plaisir-de-vous-rencontrer！ ”

“Sault，mademoiselle，bienvenue-aux-?tats-Unis！”

"Ahem!"

Alice really convinced these two people, and they actually chatted in French, although she was not incomprehensible, but this was really depressing, after all, her French was not very good.

"Ashley? Hmm, Ciao, Qui-si-fa? ”

In this way, a simple greeting and reminder, Ashley reacted from the stimulation of her native language. But before Alice could say anything else, she suddenly let out a scream of surprise, and her fluent Italian came out with great ease.

"Praise to Maria! You actually speak Italian too!? Oh my goodness, on my first day at school, I was so lucky to meet not only a fellow European countryman, but also a Chinese girl who could speak her native language! ”

"Where, where, Monsieur Pope speaks ten languages, I'm still far from that number. Oh, Ashley, how can you be sure I'm Chinese? Can't it be Japanese or Southeast Asian? ”

Alice was really a little surprised, after all, for the average Europeans and Americans, Asians all look the same, just like for Asians, European people are also similar.

"It's obvious!"

Ashley's tone was high and unmistakable, and she spoke like a singer: "My mother is a famous Milanese fashion designer, and I have been learning these things since I was very young. ”

"Costume design? That's really good. ”

Alice patted Ashley on the back and walked towards the school: "It's a pity that we are not high enough now, if we are in high school, you can form a formal fashion design club, and if you do a good job, you can even directly set up a clothing brand!" ”

"It's that simple."

Ashley waved her hand, and just as she was about to say something more, a grumpy voice sounded behind her.

"Two, please speak English."

In this way, middle school life begins, and the curriculum of 7th grade is indeed very different from that of 6th grade, but of course it is still within Alice's adaptation range.

Since junior high school, there are no classes with general concepts, and each student has a different schedule, and everyone goes to a different classroom.

The school opens at 8 a.m. every morning, and students have 10 minutes to lock things they don't use in the morning in their cupboards and enter the classroom. There are only 3 minutes between classes, and due to the need to walk to different classrooms, it is very difficult for students to go to the cabinet to change books. Therefore, everyone walks around with the books they need for a whole half day. Except for the start and end of school, it is not allowed to walk around the school with a school bag on its back.

Of course, the classrooms are set up by the teachers themselves, horizontally and vertically or in small groups, but all classrooms are equipped with 30 sets of desks and chairs as standard, so the number of students in each class is also less than 30.

As far as Alice's current class schedule goes, she starts at 8:23 for the first 45-minute period. On Monday, the most representative Monday is the first physical education class, the second is social science, and the third is math. Half of the fourth class is lunchtime, half is about 23 minutes of foreign language teaching, and then the fifth class is reading, the sixth is computer science, and the seventh is science.

After the eighth period of English, also known as Chinese, it is time for the end of school.

But it was only around 2:40, and after a morning of intense study, it was time for various clubs, interest groups and sports teams.

"Well, sure enough, the average club is really not challenging."

On the green lawn, Alice's fingers slid back and forth on the form, and she was really torn about which to choose the best club after school.

"For you, it's probably the most interesting computer club, right?"

As soon as she said this, Sissi realized that something was wrong: "Ah...... In fact, according to your level, it is the most boring. ”

"It's good that you know~"

Alice rolled her eyes, it has been half a month since the start of school, and almost all the clubs in the school have been tried by her, but none of them can really satisfy her.

After all, in the final analysis, the classmates around her are still too young, and many things to do look too naïve in Alice's eyes.

"What should I do~?"

She pouted, her eyes rolling.
