Lessons finished at ~4:30pm when I was in school, it's the same pretty much everywhere in France and I would assume this isn't the only country like that. I'm not shocked at the idea of getting home at 5pm (we had no school bus service, just the regular public transportation which works well here)
- huffmsa 8y agoAmerican high schools start at ~0730, though that's gradually being moved back, and classes end around 1400-1500. So he library being open that late is meaningful. And as bizarre as this might sound, outside of New York City, unaccompanied children on public transportation is basically not a thing in America. We assume the children are lost / abandoned and the parents are delinquent / trying to get the kid kidnapped by a pedo. There was a decently widespread news story a few years ago about someone calling the police on a mother because she let her kids go to the park by themselves.
