Hi Lexie !

Everything is allright with me and obviously I want to help you with your assignment.
The high schools in belgium are a bit different from the high schools in the United States so I will give you 3 interesting points you can talk about in your assignment.

First of all, in Belgium,  you go to high school when you are twelve and leave when you are eighteen. In the United states the duration of high school is a bit shorter : from fourteen until seventeen years old.

In Belgium we do have lockers like in the US but they are not in the corridors. The lockers stay in your classroom and if you need your courses for another lesson you will have to take all the books that you need for the lessons in your bag.So an important point in Belgian’s high schools is that you have to be very attentive to all the courses you have and in whiwh classes you will have your courses.

Last but not least in the high schools in Belgium you can not eat during that the teacher is teaching. In the US it is very normal for some children to eat some snacks during the lessons but in Belgium you can not do that. In Belgium it is even not allowed to drink water during the lessons.

So those three points are in my opinion interesting to report in your assignment. I hope you now got what you needed.

With pleasure,

Delphine
