I'm Sexy 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Recently when I notice movie and tv show with schools, it is always end of class when bell go. But student always suddenly jump up and leave class even without teacher saying something. It is really like this? In my school, even bell for end class we still wait for teacher to say end of class and we pack up and going out. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 My school also required respect and manners of it's students. You didn't move until the teacher told you to, unlike what you see on American tv/movies. Link to post Share on other sites

kintaro 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 In my experience, bell = owari. Teacher couldn't keep the class any longer. Link to post Share on other sites

2pints-mate 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Class ended when the teacher said so. Students would not under any circumstances get up and leave without teacher saying so - bell or no bell. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 depended on the teacher and/or on that particular class that day. Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 yup, class had to be dismissed before you could go. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Quote: In my experience, bell = owari. Exactly the same, it was like a race. Bell goes and the race began. But it was to another class so I didn't really see the point to hurry. There wasn't a great deal of respect going on at our school. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I went to a generally polite school, we had manners. Though the teacher never really dared to go much over the bell at the end of class Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Depended on the teacher at my school, too. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Bell signifies end of lesson, but teachy tells us when to pack up and be dismissed. What I see on telly just looks so terribly rude. Link to post Share on other sites
fjef 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 In Canada in elementry school, teachers were the boss - but by high school the bell took over and students would often be long gone before the teacher could finish what they were saying... Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I remember having a teacher who often went 5-10 minutes over after the bell. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I had one of those. We hated her. Link to post Share on other sites
I'm Sexy 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Interesting! here is another. In movie, newspaper delivery. The newspaper is sometimes thrown onto lawn. Surely it does not happen! Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Where else are they supposed to throw it? (meaning yes, it happens - a lot). Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Not when I delivered them - they went in the mail box. Surely a newspaper would disintergrate into 50 seperate pages if you tried to throw it - and what if its rainig..? Link to post Share on other sites
Sven 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Newspaper is rolled up, and there's a plastic wrap cover for the rain. That's been the system for as long as I can remember at my place back home. As for the lawn, well, that's where it ended up pretty much every day, although there have been occasions for: - paper in pool, - paper in tree, - paper on car, - paper on roof. (you'd need to see the place to understand why) Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 fukdane, for the teacher that kept you 5-10 minutes after the bell, didn't that make you late for your next class? I keep reading the above posts about respect and manners and oh, how rude (those bloody American's are)..... er, how about a professional courtesy to other teachers? I can't see why teachers would keep a class longer than the designated class time. In DB's case you didn't even fking MOVE unless the teachers said so. No wonder Americans are accused (rightly so) of being individualistic. In my opinion, the bell signifies the end of class and a good starting point to start travelling to your next class in order to arrive there on time. I can only guess the nay sayers attended small, 1 or 2 room country schools (Little House on the Prairie.) But for the rest of us it isn't rude to leave class when class is over, it's being polite to the teacher of your next class. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 If I can remember back that far, all lessons had a 5-10 minute break, and then there were the ones just before "morning break" (15 mins), lunch and "afternoon break" (15 mins). Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Stop embarrassing me Kintaro (as an American). Since when was this an anti-American thread?? I sure didn't read it like that... you're way way too sensitive about these things. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Curt, no I'm not. I didn't read this thread as anti-American at all. Just movie portrayals. Take it easy curtiss and just worry about yourself. K? Link to post Share on other sites
