Difference between school system in America and school system Indonesia

Hi, i think this is my first time wraiting in blog using english. yeah i know my english very bad but yah i try to talk in english. Now i wanna talk how is school in America. In America i'm going to Southwest Star Concept (Okabena) High School its a very small school (i think so) but its a VERY NICE school. first of all i want to tell you all what classes i had here. i take American Goverment, Chemistry, Geometry, Biology, News Prespective and Choir. Actually, i have Managing Personal Investment class too, but i drop off that class. I didn't have idea with that class. That class talkin about Creditcard, American Bank, Insurance, etc. I really not understand with that all stuff. That is the reason why i drop off that class.

School system in America has really big different with School system in Indonesia. In Indonesia, we fixed on department we choose. Like, If we choose Natural Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) we just learning about Natural Science for 3 years. For me, That is so boring. LOL. In America, feel free to choose what classes you want to study. But, for sure they must take Math every year (as i know).  In one class, not just consist of one force. But it can be mixed from other forces. for the example, In the class there could be children from Freshman, Sophomor, Junior, or Senior. It's fun we can now each other from different grade.

Here, i have own locker to put all my stuff. notebook, book, especially sweater and sweatshirt. etc (yeah, im always using sweatshirt or swaeter. Damn so cold here-_-). Maybe in Indonesia, some school provide facilities locker for the student. but, most of school In Indonesia didn't provide locker for the student. In my school here (America),the duration for one subject is 70 minutes. Between 1 classes to another classes, we are given time for go to locker for take the notes and book or go to bathroom. the Period of time for go to locker, between 2 untill 3 minutes.

When i was in Indonesia, the duration for 1 classes is 90 minutes. and i think that is too long (in my humble opinion). the timetable in Indonesia and America are different. for the example, in America, we have same classes everyday, but when i was in Indonesia, the classes always different everyday. in one side, i think it's boring when we have same classes everyday, but it's more effective to understand the subject. so we did not get to forget with previous lesson.

My favourite subject here is American Goverment and Chemistry. In American goverment class, we learning about how is American Goverment, and how is system of  American government. Moreover this moment the election, we talk about election and we talk what are the chances for Obama or Romney to win elections. It's very fun to talk all about that! Honestly, I am more interested with Social Science than Natural Science.

I think that's all. I will talk more about school in next posting. Hopefully, you guys understand what i mean. yeah i know my english so sucks bad, hopefully i can 't improve it soon. :)
