US schools have a much broader social role than schools in Europe, and therefor tend to form a social universe of their own.
In Europe virtually all activities that are not directly related to being in a classroom happen outside the school, and so kids are more likely to have multiple social circles.
Or in other words: going to school in Europa resembles going to work as an adult much more than in the US.
- nickik 14y agoI think thats an importen observation. I don't think the government has to for diffrent sport programmes. In the small (5000-6000) people village I live there are so many diffrent clubs you can go to, I don't think a school could practicly provid all the deversety. What happens alot more in the US seams to be other kinds of clubs (movie-knowledge). You seem to have AudioVideo, Math, Spelling clubs that one rearly sees in Switzerland.
