The Goddess Shines on America

September is coming soon, and with the end of the Olympic Games, the weather is gradually getting cooler. Many people have changed into long-sleeved clothes, but most of them are still in a relatively light attire.

Meanwhile, it was time for Alice to enter secondary school.

Since the early 19th century, Americans have believed that everyone should have the opportunity to receive the best education possible to develop their individual talents and abilities. This ideal of compulsory education has been continuously supported by the masses. Many political and religious leaders have pointed out that the prosperity and strength of the United States is actually due to the popularization of education.

Today, almost all American children receive at least 8 years of education, 75% graduate from high school, and 25% receive diplomas from four-year colleges and universities. The extensive education program has made the United States the most educated country in the world One of the most populated 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 also different. Alice didn't know the relevant situation in her previous life. Judging from her current experience, that was the current situation.

That is to say, six years of primary school, two years of junior high school, and four years of high school. When graduating from the twelfth grade, you are basically eighteen years old. After that, you love to take the university entrance exam, and do other things if you don’t want to take the exam.

Theoretically speaking, the whole family could move to a higher-level school district based on the hundreds of thousands of dollars in property that Alice earned from trading stocks in the past few years. However, it is necessary to analyze the specific situation.

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 100% complain about being deprived of her freedom. As for Oscar and Hannah, when it's time to go to higher education, at worst, they can be sent directly to the combined junior and senior high school boarding schools on the east coast. This is what Alice suggested to their parents.

Hannah didn't care about this decision, and Oscar had to admit that he was really looking forward to it after rolling his eyes.

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

Looking at the bustling fellow students in front of her, Alice said, "Honey, what do you think?"

Qian Qian looked around: "How do you feel? What do you think?"

"We have entered the seventh grade. From now on, we will no longer be primary school students. If we go back to San Anto, we will be the dignified middle school big sister~"

Sissy glanced at her with disdainful eyes: "Isn't it just an extra hundred yards?"

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

Yes, it's really just an extra hundred yards.

St. Antoine Elementary School, Johnson Middle School, and Lincoln High School are all next to each other, and residential areas within a radius of several miles are all within their radiation range. It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the elementary and middle school students in Culver City go to school here!

Walking from St. Antoine to Johnson is as simple as walking from Alice's 15th to Sissy's 7th.

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

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

This is a rather beautiful blond girl, apparently about thirteen years old, with a long ponytail, wearing smart jeans and a T-shirt top, tall and fit like an athlete.

"Hi, I'm Alice Wang, this is Sissy Lawrence, who are you?"

Alice was sure that she had never seen this girl. After all, more than 60% of Johnson's students were directly promoted by St. Antoine.

"Oh, hello, my name is Ashley, Ashley-Oriel, our family immigrated from Milan not long ago."

"Oh, you're Italian?"

Sissy's eyes lit up immediately, she pushed away Alice who was about to strike up a conversation, shook hands with Ashley warmly and said, "It's such an honor, I'm French, born in Paris!"

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

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

"Ahem!"

Alice was really convinced by these two people, and they both chatted in French. Although she could not understand, it was really depressing, after all, her French was not very good.

"Ashlee? Um, Ciao, Qui-si-fa?"

In this way, 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 spit out fluent Italian extremely smoothly.

"Praise Maria! You can also speak Italian!? Oh my God, when I reported to school on the first day, I not only met a European fellow, but also a Chinese girl who can speak her mother tongue. I am so lucky!"

"Where is there, Mr. Pope can speak ten languages, and I am still far from this number. Oh, Ashley, how can you be sure that I am of Chinese descent? Can't I be of Japanese descent or Southeast Asia?"

Alice was really a little surprised, after all, to ordinary Europeans and Americans, Asians all look the same, just like to Asians, people from all over Europe are similar.

"Obviously!"

Ashley's voice was high and fluctuating obviously, and she spoke like singing an opera: "My mother is a famous fashion designer in Milan. What are the characteristics of each race in the world? I learned these when I was very young. .”

"Costume design? That's really cool."

Alice patted Ashley on the back and walked towards the school: "It's a pity that our grades are not high enough now. If you are in high school now, you can definitely form a formal clothing design club. If you do well, you can even Can directly establish a clothing brand!"

"It's not that simple."

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

"Both, please speak English."

In this way, middle school life began. The curriculum of the seventh grade is indeed very different from that of the sixth grade, but of course it is still within the scope of Alice's adaptation.

From junior high school onwards, there is no general concept of classes anymore, each student has a different schedule, and everyone attends classes in different classrooms.

The school opens at 8 o'clock every morning, and students have to lock the things they don't use in the morning in their lockers within 10 minutes, and then enter the classroom. Each class break is only 3 minutes. Due to the need to go to different classrooms, the time is very tight, so it is difficult for students to change books in the cabinet. Therefore, everyone walks around with books that they need to use for half a day. Except for going to and from school, schoolbags are not allowed to walk around in the school.

Of course, the classrooms are arranged by the teachers themselves, arranged horizontally and vertically or in groups, but all classrooms are equipped with 30 sets of tables and chairs as standard, so the number of students in each class is also less than 30.

As far as Alice's current class schedule is concerned, she has her first class starting at 8:23, and each class is 45 minutes long. As far as the most representative Monday is concerned, the first period is physical education, the second period is social science, and the third period is mathematics. Half of the fourth class is lunch time, half is foreign language, which is about 23 minutes, and then the fifth class is reading, the sixth class is computer, and the seventh class is science.

After the eighth class of English, the so-called Chinese, it is time to leave school.

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

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

On the green lawn, Alice's fingers slid back and forth on the form, and she was really entangled in which one to choose for the after-school club.

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

As soon as she said this, Sissy realized something was wrong: "Ah...Actually, according to your level, it is the most boring."

"It's good that you know~"

Alice rolled her eyes. It has been half a month since the start of school, and she has tried almost all clubs in the school, but none of them really satisfied her.

After all, in the final analysis, the students around are still too young, and doing many things seems too naive in Alice's eyes.

"How can I do it~?"

She pursed her lips and her eyes began to roll wildly.
