The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 66: , Enter middle school

   September is coming soon. With the end of the Olympic Games, the weather has gradually cooled down. Many people have put on long-sleeved clothes, but most people still wear lighter clothes.

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

   Since the early 19th century, Americans have believed that everyone should have the opportunity to receive the best education in order to develop their personal talents and abilities. This ideal of compulsory education has continuously received support from the masses. Many leaders in the political and religious circles have pointed out that the prosperity and strength of the United States is actually due to the popularization of education.

Nowadays, almost all American children have at least 8 years of education, 75% of them graduated from high school, and 25% of those who obtained diplomas from four-year colleges and universities. The vast educational program has made the United States the world’s educated. One of the most populous countries.

  At the same time, due to the partial independence of the legislative power of each state, the school year system of each state is different. Alice didn't know the relevant situation of her previous life. Judging from her current experience, it was the current situation.

   In other words, it takes six years for elementary school, two years for junior high school, and four years for high school. When you graduate from the twelfth grade, you are basically 18 years old.

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

   As far as Alice herself is concerned, it doesn't matter which school she attends, and if she is sent to some Eton school, she will be 100% deprived of her freedom. As for Oscar and Hannah, when they are about to go to school, it is a big deal to send them directly to the combined residential middle school of middle and high schools on the East Coast. This is how Alice advises her parents.

   Hannah didn't care about this decision, and Oscar had to admit that she was really looking forward to it after she rolled her eyes.

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

   Looking at the bustling schoolmates in front of her, Alice said, "My dear, what do you think?"

   Qianqian looked around: "What do you think? What do you think?"

   "We are in the seventh grade. From then on, we are no longer elementary school students. We are going to return to St. Anto. We are the dignified middle school big sister~"

   Xiqian glanced at her with contempt: "Isn't that just a hundred yards more?"

   "Uh... this kind of thing cannot be based on space!"

   Yes, it's really just a hundred yards more.

   St. Anto Elementary School, Johnson Middle School, and Lincoln High School are completely next to each other, and residential areas within a few miles of it are all within its radiation range. It is no exaggeration to say that almost the entire elementary and middle school students in Culver City come here to go to school!

   It’s as simple as walking from St. Anto’s to Johnson, that is, walking from Alice’s 15th to Cici’s 7th, stop by next door!

   "Oh, go to school, go to school!"

   At that moment, another girl’s voice sounded behind them: "Hey, are you two waiting for someone? Ah... wait, are you the new seventh graders this year?"

   This is a pretty blonde girl, apparently about thirteen years old, wearing a long ponytail, wearing smart jeans and a T-shirt top, and she is tall and fit athlete-like.

   "Hello, I am Alice Wang, this is Cici Lawrence, are you?"

   Alice is sure that she has never seen this girl. After all, more than 60% of Johnson's students are from San Anto straight up.

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

   "Oh, are you Italian?"

   Cici's eyes lit up suddenly, and she pushed Alice away, who was still trying to strike up a conversation, and shook hands with Ashley warmly, "It's an honor, I'm French, and I was born in Paris!"

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

   "Sault, mademoiselle, bienvenue-aux-?tats-Unis!"

   "Ahem!"

   Alice really convinced the two of them, and they all started talking in French. Although she didn't understand it, it was really depressing. After all, her French was not very good.

   "Ashley? Hmm, Ciao, Qui-si-fa?"

   So, with a simple greeting and reminder, Ashley reacted from the stimulation of her mother tongue. But before Alice could say anything else, she suddenly let out a scream of surprise, and her fluent Italian spit out extremely smoothly.

   "Praise Maria! You actually speak Italian too!? Oh my goodness, I went to school on the first day and met not only a European fellow, but also a Chinese girl who can speak her mother tongue. I was so lucky!"

   "Where and where, Mr. Pope can speak ten languages, I am still far from that number. Oh, Ashley, how do you make sure that I am of Chinese descent? Can't it be Japanese or Southeast Asian?"

  Alice is a little surprised. After all, to ordinary Europeans and Americans, Asians look alike, just like to Asians, Europeans are similar to each other.

   "It's obvious!"

Ashley's tone is high and ups and downs, and she speaks like a singing opera: "My mother is a famous costume designer in Milan. What are the characteristics of each race in the world? I learned this when I was very young. ."

   "Clothing design? This is really good."

Alice patted Ashley on the back and walked towards the school: "Unfortunately, our grade is not high enough. If you are in high school, you can form a formal clothing design club. If you do it well, you can even Can you directly establish a clothing brand!"

   "How can it be that simple."

   Ashley waved her hand, and just when she was about to say something, a grieving voice sounded from behind.

   "Two, please speak English."

  This is how middle school life begins. There is indeed a huge difference between the seventh grade curriculum and the sixth grade, but of course they are still within the scope of Alice's adaptation.

  Since junior high school, there are no classes with general concepts. Each student has a different timetable, and everyone goes to different classrooms.

   The school opens at 8 a.m. every morning, and students must lock the things they don’t use in the morning in their cabinets within 10 minutes, and then enter the classroom. There are only 3 minutes between each class. Due to the tight time required to walk to different classrooms, it is difficult for students to change books in the cabinet. Therefore, everyone is walking around holding a book that will be used for the entire half-day. Except for school and school, schoolbags are not allowed to walk around in the school.

The classrooms are of course arranged by the teachers themselves, in horizontal and vertical rows or in small groups, but all classrooms are equipped with 30 sets of tables and chairs as standard. Therefore, the number of students in each class is also the same. Less than 30 people.

   As far as Alice’s current schedule is concerned, she has the first class from 8:23, each class is 45 minutes. On the most representative Monday, the first session is physical education, the second session is social science, and the third session is math. Half of the fourth class is lunch time, half is in foreign language, which is about 23 minutes, then the fifth class is reading, the sixth class is computer, and the seventh class is science.

   After the eighth class of English, which is the so-called Chinese, it’s time for school.

   But it was only around 2:40. After a morning of intense study, I went to various clubs, interest groups and sports teams.

   "Well, sure enough, ordinary clubs are really not challenging."

   On the green lawn, Alice's fingers slid back and forth on the form. She was really confused as to which club to choose after school.

   "For you, the computer community should be the most interesting, right?"

   As soon as he said this, Cici realized that something was wrong: "Ah...According to your level, it is actually the most boring."

   "It's fine if you know~"

   Alice rolled her eyes. It has been half a month since the beginning of school. She has tried almost all the clubs in the school, but none of them can really satisfy her.

   After all, the classmates around him are still too young, and many things are too naive in Alice's eyes.

   "What should I do~?"

   She chuckled her mouth, her eyes started to roll around.
