As a European, despite what I've heard has been going on in US high schools in relation to guns, US high schools still look fun, awesome and interesting at the same time. Heck, even from watching this video, this high school already looks better than the high school that I went to! This to me looks like the kinda place you wanna spend at least a year in :)
Man thank you so much for recording this so nicely!! I’m an Indian, so these experiences are literally bleak in my country’s school. But through your vlog, I could feel my dream school life 😭❤️
@@mait18 Yeah me too... And About Indian schools.. Private schools with international standards are also there where u can enjoy all these "cool" stuff.. But you'll need a lotta money to get such an education.. I feel lucky to have enjoyed it for a span of three years in A South Indian school. Yet after that I really missed it alot.. The point is, there are schools with such infrastructures but they come with a huge cost as fee.. While the middle and lower lvl schools are kinda like 8am-6pm based schools with studies and a little bit of sport that's it..
In my school we don't have internet connection;No TOILET PAPER and soap in the bathroom and a lot of communist teachers. We have to learn everyday and we have homeworks every single day(especially in the weekend when we have more homework because we have more time to study. We can't use our phones in the school and we don't have tehnology in any school. The teachers are gonna punish you if you are using a modern device in the clases and sometimes in the break. I am living in Eastern Europe. My school experience is a nightmare.
I heard the Romanian people have gone through it lately. I hope things get better for you, or you can find opportunities elsewhere. Much love from the US.
This is my dream definition of school life. Especially at 10:00 where everyone just comes together and cheers for their friends or favorite team. That spirit of togetherness. I'm a senior high schooler here in Malaysia (Grade 12) and we don't get such things.. being an Asian country, it's mostly just study study study, score your As and you're good. There are some after-school activities available but they definitely don't come close to the scale of the activities of you guys' schools. The high school experience in both our countries are vastly different. Anyway... I hope you enjoy your high school life there
Hello there! I teach English in France and I'm preparing a lesson on American schools, so your video is absolutely perfect and I'm sure my students will enjoy it . Some things may be obvious for you but in France we have completely different schedules, subjects and ways of teaching and... facilities! So thank you for showing us!
That's incredible to hear! I'm visiting France soon and can't wait to experience the culture, food, and all the amazing things I've heard about Paris and Brittany!
@@LucasKultBanout Oh great ! I hope you'll enjoy it and people in Paris will be welcoming ;) but it's a beautiful city! I just looove Britanny - it's my usual holiday destination - and we have a lot of holiday in France ^^ - Wonderful landscapes. So enjoy your stay in France and welcome in our country!
Thanks for your video! I am a teacher in Germany and I showed this clip to my students to give them an idea of a typical American High School. It's nice to see a video that actually shows it from a student's perspective as opposed to some principal or PR people or whatever that just want you to send your kids to that school.
Hi, Lucas! I’m currently working as a conversation assistant with CIEE in Spain (which, from going through your channel, I see you’ve already studied abroad there with them!). Today, I needed to prepare a presentation for my students about the daily life of an American high school student, and I picked your video! Yours is by far the most accurate depiction of high school life I’ve seen, and it’s a very well edited video, too. Just thought you’d like to know that today, two classes of students in Madrid watched your video 😊
I subscribed just a few mins ago... I watched it with my friends and we all loved it. It was like a new experience to know the lifestyle of an American High Schooler. It was so fascinating to actually see what it is like in the States and compare it with compare ours. I'll for sure share this vid man! Keep creating such interesting and informative content! Thankyou brother! Love from India!
Woow, amazing video, you have no idea how interesting is this video to a student in Europe :) Your school is huuuge (and your friends are kinda weird haha). We don't have the same classes here in Hungary (Advisory, for example, to be honest, I don't really know what's that exactly, but it looks really interesting!) and we are not this close with our teachers (which is so sad btw). But we have history here too, and that's my fav subject too! :) We never take quizzes, only essays or normal "tests" (question-answer) and our classrooms are much much smaller. It is also very interesting to see the hype for football, I know that it is a big thing in the US, unfortunately, in Hungary, we don't really have much to be hyped for ... :( Anyway, loved the editing, keep up the good work!
Great video! We are students from a German middle school and we watched the video in our English lesson. We think its's really interesting to see how an average day in the life of an American student really is. First of all, the school and the area you live in looked really nice, all the students seemed really fun and the teachers really supportive. What we also noticed is that you have Apple PCs. Our school has very old and slow PCs. Also, our school is significantly smaller than yours since we have less students (about 700-880). We also have to pay for lockers but they're still third the size of American lockers. The classrooms are different as well. Our first lesson starts at 8:00 am and ends at 1:15 pm. We´ve got two 15-minute breaks and there we can go to the Kiosk and buy some food. It´s very expensive there. You’re lucky you have a great cafeteria. We have wide tables for two people. So we can cheat from each other😉. But similarities are that both schools have no dress code. We would like to ask you how long the time between school and the football matches is. What do you do in that time? We would also like to know how often the football team has to play matches and if there is a special day for those matches. If you could change something at your school, what would it be? Thank you for showing us a day in your life! Greetings from Germany!
Hi! Thanks for watching my video :) It's awesome that you all are tuning in all the way from Germany! The football teams plays once a week in the fall and games are about 4 hours after school ends at 3:11 pm. Overall I absolutely love my school, but I think if I could change one thing I would make the school lunches way healthier.
Awesome content bro! I came here from NZ in 2015 for a short student exchange. Stayed with an amazing family in the area. The atmosphere and school spirit was amazing, cant get that in NZ
We here in India(especially in high & middle schools) just miss out on amusing & pleasant items American schools possess, that glaze and an amazing charm!! The ones deprived of such fun are the most pathetic ones, I've endorsed it.
It sounds very lively but it’s not as good as you think trust me, I was the same way, I was so happy at first when I was in middle school with all these cool things but then it got the same thing and I got tired of it, the sports I love them I don’t hate them, but I hate school, it’s whatever now

Yeah man, trying to show my Chinese students American Culture. So hard to find a good video about school life back in the states. This is exactly what we needed.
It’s actually so interresting to see what a day in your life looks like. Idk if you know Herny but last year he was at my school in Germany which makes it now even funnier to see him in the video (in one of you classes). Such a cool idea:)
I would say quite different. I mean Hernry can actually tell you a lot about it if you ask him. Besides If you tell him you’ve read a comment from a girl called Miriam, he will know for sure who you‘re talking about. He sent me this video bc I asked what school is like in Chicago and I directly recognised his red shoes. Referring back to your question, our school is so small compared to yours. We are barely 800 to 900 people in my entire school..if not even less..
im an english teacher in south korea and this is honestly THE perfect vlog to show my kids what a typical american high school is like. i went though so many other vlogs before i found this one, so thank you for making this video! :]
I just got to say that I read the comments prior to watching the video and was expecting something really over the top when actually a typical day this high school is no different than when I attended high school in South Carolina in 1978. The only visual difference is of course technology and we used lockers instead of backpacks. But the overall classrooms, gyms, cheerleaders, football games, pep rallies, football stadiums and track fields are the same. We also had students walk to school but like myself, a large amount of students drove their own car..... thanks for the memories ❤️
Very interesting! I also go to high school in the USA, but it’s so different. My school is for kids 12-21 who were kicked out of public school and/or need daily therapy. No one goes to school with siblings, no one walks to school (I ride a school bus for an hour). My class is 7 kids, in 9th and 10th grade. We start every morning with a meeting with the other 9th/10th grade class. The teachers tell us our schedule for the day, what teachers and students are absent, and what events are coming up. Then, my class of 7 goes to science class. 4 of us are taking chemistry and 3 are taking biology in the same class. 3 days a week, our next class is group therapy. Once a week we take music appreciation or art, and once a week we take a class on being a disabled adult. After 2nd period, we have a 10 minute break. My class tends to walk around the school and chit chat. 3rd period is history. We mainly have discussions about current events, but we sometimes talk about historical stuff. 4th is English class. Each year, everyone reads a book by grade level. This year the middle schoolers read The Giver and the high schoolers are reading The Crucible. 5th period is math. 3 of us are doing geometry, and the other 4 are doing algebra 1. Next we have lunch. From October to April, we get to choose between eating in our home room or eating in the art room. The rest of the year, we also have the choice to eat outside. After lunch, we split up into our elective classes. 3 days a week we take interest classes, though there are requirements still. I’m currently taking cooking and woodworking as 7th and 8th period respectively. Twice a week we take a gym class, though most options aren’t really gym. I’m currently taking drivers ed. and gym classes last 7th and 8th periods. Once 8th period is over, we reconvene in our home rooms. Then, we get dismissed to our busses home.
Bro , great content !! Wanna say that the amount of comfort, freedom and Amazingness you guys have in America is beyond amazing , i am from India and always wanted to move in the States , hopefully someday i can go till then you keep up the great work , want to see more of this vlogs , regular if possible ✌️✌️✌️ ,
My school here in India had a similar basement canteen and food was super oily. But sometimes out of hunger we also had to eat it. Also, we didn’t change classrooms much because teachers used to come and teach in their allotted time and we didn’t have lockers. Anyhow, I loved to see a new glimpse of American High school. I graduated high school in 2016, still I enjoyed this vlog. Good luck from India. ❤️❤️
I studied in a normal public school in brazil by my 14 years old, but I did a test to get in a federal school, which it is still public, and it's changed my hole life! So many new thing to do, to study and a new mind about the life!
Bro, this is amazing. It has always been my dream to study in the US one day. Love your videos! Keep it up. I'm literally binge-watching your videos right now 🔥👏🏻
_"suburban"_ American public high school cannot be stressed enough. And a rich suburb to boot. Another public high-school - just a few miles from here and within Chicago city limits - paints a completely different portrait.
True. This school literally has taxpayer money to burn. They spent $250million on renevations, have a $80million a year budget & all the staff make like 100K + its ridiculous.
I saw Beesleys reacting to this video and just had to come here and tell you what a great job you did making this video and that you are obviously a very mature kid who will do great things.
I love the video and the school,props to you for the great work, I just don't think this is what most American public schools look like, it looks incredibly funded and filled with meaningful experience and lessons. I hope that more schools in our country take lessons from yours
@@LucasKultBanout poc communities mainly don't get funded and we've been trying to call for action America spends more money on white areas more than they'll do for POC
Lucas thanks you so much for your labor which you do. It's so tempting to watch for another culture and people! I inspire to watching these videos. You're lucky person. This is a completely different society!! I wish you to finish academic grade well! I recommend you to move on your RUclips channel! You have a big experience! Keep it up! I believe you!
Aww this made me miss going to OP 😭 Being in college makes you miss high school lowkey and omfggg you had my favorite teacher for Bio loved her APES class!
@@LucasKultBanout I use to think that u made fun of those who bring lunch with them and that the most of students are just annoying and stuff like that
Nice job man. I think it's unfortunate that you only have crap available to eat for lunch. I graduated from high school in 1990 and we had a massive salad bar available for the same price as the hot meal of the day. GL in the future and hope you have a great rest of the year
Hi Lucas, I am a 13 year old student from Germany and I really enjoyed watching your video! It was cool to see a day in your life and your school looks awesome. My school in Germany is much smaller than yours and the lifestyle here is very different. Thank you for your video. I have a question: What are the security guards doing at your school? Okay, bye!
2012 alum here. OP represent! GO HUSKIES! The more things change, the more they stay the same. I was there when they first installed those screaming clocks. It's interesting to me to hear the different bell. I'm a bit of a school bell/PA system geek; can anyone identify what system they use now based on that bell tone? The fire alarms at OPRF were the WORST. Evil. I hated them. I see they still have at least a few of the vibrating horns (the ones that buzz), but it looks like they've upgraded to a few electric horns (the ones that "screech" or "shriek") as well. I only had one class at OPRF that had an electric horn in the classroom. I always hated that they didn't just switch the whole system to speaker/strobes with voice evacuation, even though they clearly _had_ a voice evacuation system that they used for tornados and lockdowns.
I’m a 6th grader in middle school currently. I watched this video since I really wanted to see how high school would be like and the experiences of it. And it does look pretty different from what we do in MS. Like we have advisory in the afternoon before our 4th and 8th periods. Our classes are split between days. Our first 4 classes are in one day, being classified as an A day. Then we have our next four classes the next day, which we call a B day. But I believe every public MS has that. We also watch CNN 10, but during our cultural study classes only.
Hi there Lucas! I’m from India 🇮🇳. The American high school is definitely 💯 part of the American dream. One thing I’ve noticed is that in the American school system, people choose to study subjects based on their interests and passions and therefore they’re just so much more involved in what they do and how they spend time at school, being purposeful in spending their time on they find “cool”. Here in India, the choice of education is more inclined towards societal value and doing certain things because it’s a proven field like engineering, medicine, finances and law. One thing that I’ve sure to take away from your video is that, being optimistic on every day and going to school to make sure you get to progress and learn something new that you deem cool, that’s the best anyone can take from their school days.
Hey! Your comment is very on point! Of course, there are still some pressures here to follow certain paths, but I am very much on a mission to do something that makes me happy and fulfilled. Good luck!!
When I went there from 2000 - 2004, it was Sophomores to Seniors that could go out too. When my brother went there some years later, he said they basically couldn't do anything anymore. Students had to wear their IDs, they canceled Morps, no one could leave anymore for lunch. Sounded like a jail to me. I don't see them going back to what it was before. BTW. when I was there there were Morps (casual Proms, Prom spelled backwards). But people started doing sexual things in the dark, so then they made it so we had to keep the lights on, and by the time my brother got there, they canceled them entirely.
In our indian school I'm in 10th grade sophomore year in high school and our timing is 7-12:30 and i go to private school so we have uniforms but honestly i like uniforms and sports is compulsory in our school
By the way, if you really didn't know, that song that was playing was the school's fight song or Loyalty song. Haha. " We're loyal to you Oak Park High, We're orange and blue, Oak Park High. We'll back you to stand 'gainst the best in the land, For we know you've got sand, Oak Park High. Rah! Rah! Go crashing ahead, Oak Park High! Go smash that blockade, Oak Park High! Our team is a fame protector, Run, team for we expect A victory from you, Oak Park High!" I memorized it because I was in sports there (Cross Country, and Swimming). Also, probably because our Principal at the time was an elder (Sue Bridge). You are correct about how old the song sounds, because I'm sure it is from pretty early in the school's history.
Here in Ontario, Canada, it's pretty much the same, except football isn't as big. We didn't even have a team when I went to school in Paris, Ontario. (They do now, and recently won the district championship)
Do you like living in Canada? From the American perspective it seems pretty awesome (though of course every country has its pros and cons). I’m actually thinking about going to college at McGill in Montreal.
@@LucasKultBanout Canada is fine. I just live in a boring part of it, near the border with New York. I live in the hometown of Wayne Gretzky and the telephone. That's about all we're known for. Montreal is an amazing city. Lots to do.

I know I'm late a year but is it actually fun high schooling in America? Im from asia and I always thought living in America is so fun since the country is so "lively".
My middle school is pretty boring, there is only like one hallway of classes and the rest are elementary. It isn’t that cheerful. I’m hoping to get to high school soon. I’m tired of middle school
The music in the background gave this all a postapocalyptic we live in a vault vibe. Is there usually some kind of background music in american highschools or was it because of something special?
bro i am in 9th at the moment in pakistan but after 10th can i contnue my 11 there mean i am trying to say that do you see any international students there ?
Hey! Yes there are foreign exchange students at our school. I remember one German kid from my freshman year. Everyone loved him so I know you’d be welcome here!

@@Lottaemma46 wow, yep that's very different. I'll ask Henry about it :)
im an english teacher in south korea and this is honestly THE perfect vlog to show my kids what a typical american high school is like. i went though so many other vlogs before i found this one, so thank you for making this video! :]
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing my video with your students :)
Loving these Vlog type videos! Keep up the good work Lucas! Looking forward to seeing what your future has in store🙌🏾
Thanks David, I appreciate it!
I just got to say that I read the comments prior to watching the video and was expecting something really over the top when actually a typical day this high school is no different than when I attended high school in South Carolina in 1978. The only visual difference is of course technology and we used lockers instead of backpacks. But the overall classrooms, gyms, cheerleaders, football games, pep rallies, football stadiums and track fields are the same. We also had students walk to school but like myself, a large amount of students drove their own car..... thanks for the memories ❤️
American high school really have a lot of things like massive sports culture.
Very interesting! I also go to high school in the USA, but it’s so different. My school is for kids 12-21 who were kicked out of public school and/or need daily therapy. No one goes to school with siblings, no one walks to school (I ride a school bus for an hour). My class is 7 kids, in 9th and 10th grade. We start every morning with a meeting with the other 9th/10th grade class. The teachers tell us our schedule for the day, what teachers and students are absent, and what events are coming up. Then, my class of 7 goes to science class. 4 of us are taking chemistry and 3 are taking biology in the same class. 3 days a week, our next class is group therapy. Once a week we take music appreciation or art, and once a week we take a class on being a disabled adult. After 2nd period, we have a 10 minute break. My class tends to walk around the school and chit chat. 3rd period is history. We mainly have discussions about current events, but we sometimes talk about historical stuff. 4th is English class. Each year, everyone reads a book by grade level. This year the middle schoolers read The Giver and the high schoolers are reading The Crucible. 5th period is math. 3 of us are doing geometry, and the other 4 are doing algebra 1. Next we have lunch. From October to April, we get to choose between eating in our home room or eating in the art room. The rest of the year, we also have the choice to eat outside. After lunch, we split up into our elective classes. 3 days a week we take interest classes, though there are requirements still. I’m currently taking cooking and woodworking as 7th and 8th period respectively. Twice a week we take a gym class, though most options aren’t really gym. I’m currently taking drivers ed. and gym classes last 7th and 8th periods. Once 8th period is over, we reconvene in our home rooms. Then, we get dismissed to our busses home.
Bro , great content !! Wanna say that the amount of comfort, freedom and Amazingness you guys have in America is beyond amazing , i am from India and always wanted to move in the States , hopefully someday i can go till then you keep up the great work , want to see more of this vlogs , regular if possible ✌️✌️✌️ ,
Thank you! Best of luck, man!
Hey Bro! Hope you dont mind us reacting to your video! Link will be in our description and we shouted you out at the end! (Out later today)
I'm here because of your channel! Hi! :-) LOL! I went to this school. Class of 2004!
I just saw your reaction! I really enjoyed it!
My school here in India had a similar basement canteen and food was super oily. But sometimes out of hunger we also had to eat it. Also, we didn’t change classrooms much because teachers used to come and teach in their allotted time and we didn’t have lockers. Anyhow, I loved to see a new glimpse of American High school. I graduated high school in 2016, still I enjoyed this vlog. Good luck from India. ❤️❤️
I’ve never heard of school where kids stay in one room and the teachers just switch and come do their time to teach.. sounds very interesting
@@LARA-fc8rj same in Bangladesh😢
I studied in a normal public school in brazil by my 14 years old, but I did a test to get in a federal school, which it is still public, and it's changed my hole life! So many new thing to do, to study and a new mind about the life!
i love OPRF! I go to Loyola so it’s cool seeing a public school perspective! Keep working hard bro
Man I just know I'm gonna somehow see this video again in like 10 years and it's gonna destroy me emotionally--great stuff, keep it up!!!
I know right! This really is going to be such a special time to look back on.
thank you, im from england i dont know what to expect to start the next year since my family are moving
Bro, this is amazing. It has always been my dream to study in the US one day. Love your videos! Keep it up. I'm literally binge-watching your videos right now 🔥👏🏻
Thanks dude!! I hope you get to achieve that dream!
Goodluck if you are asian
The teen age is the best thing ever
Love your school
From iraq 👍🏽
Loved the video! My high school was only 20 minutes away from yours (ELHS)! It's very similar to your school! Good luck with your classes!
Thank you, that’s awesome!
_"suburban"_ American public high school cannot be stressed enough. And a rich suburb to boot. Another public high-school - just a few miles from here and within Chicago city limits - paints a completely different portrait.
True. This school literally has taxpayer money to burn.
They spent $250million on renevations, have a $80million a year budget & all the staff make like 100K + its ridiculous.
I would say the poor schools look pretty similar. Depends how new the school is too.
I saw Beesleys reacting to this video and just had to come here and tell you what a great job you did making this video and that you are obviously a very mature kid who will do great things.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)
I love the video and the school,props to you for the great work, I just don't think this is what most American public schools look like, it looks incredibly funded and filled with meaningful experience and lessons. I hope that more schools in our country take lessons from yours
Thank you! Yeah you’re definitely right about that, unfortunately a lot of other schools don’t have the same funding.
My school looks like this , And I have moved a lot when I was a kid most of Americans schools look exactly like this Or bigger some are smaller
@@LucasKultBanout poc communities mainly don't get funded and we've been trying to call for action America spends more money on white areas more than they'll do for POC
As an oak park resident as well I love this video!
Really great video man! Keep up the good work!
My man! Thank you Jacob!
omg I love that your sister is on the football team!!
I know right!!
please make more of these oprf vlogs! We love them!
Thanks Anya! I hope to make some more soon!
As a fellow OPRF student (I was sitting at the table next to u blurred in the background at lunch) do more of these!!!
Haha, that's awesome! I'll make some more soon!
This was cool, Lucas! Nice vlogging style.
Thank you!
Lucas thanks you so much for your labor which you do. It's so tempting to watch for another culture and people! I inspire to watching these videos. You're lucky person. This is a completely different society!! I wish you to finish academic grade well! I recommend you to move on your RUclips channel! You have a big experience! Keep it up! I believe you!
Dang, this video is great! The cinematography is hella clean
Thanks Ryan 👊🏻
Great job! I found your video from someone's reaction to it and am from a nearby suburb to Oak Park HS! Just wanted to give my support! :)
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
Aww this made me miss going to OP 😭 Being in college makes you miss high school lowkey and omfggg you had my favorite teacher for Bio loved her APES class!
RUclips randomly recommended this video for me I'm from Morocco and u changed the idea that I use to have about American high school
That's really interesting! Though in many ways this isn't the typical high school here in the U.S., what did this video change your mind about?
@@LucasKultBanout I use to think that u made fun of those who bring lunch with them
and that the most of students are just annoying and stuff like that
@@assehrysaida4030 yeah, most kids are nice and wouldn’t tease someone for bringing lunch from home
Nice job man.
I think it's unfortunate that you only have crap available to eat for lunch. I graduated from high school in 1990 and we had a massive salad bar available for the same price as the hot meal of the day.
GL in the future and hope you have a great rest of the year
Thanks! That sounds amazing!
Hi Lucas,
I am a 13 year old student from Germany and I really enjoyed watching your video! It was cool to see a day in your life and your school looks awesome. My school in Germany is much smaller than yours and the lifestyle here is very different. Thank you for your video. I have a question: What are the security guards doing at your school?
Okay, bye!
Where in the video are you asking about security guards?
love this bro!
love ur editing ❤
Thank you 🙌
Jeez. My first impression is what a slovenly bunch of students. It's very different than my Louisiana high school in the Seventies.
2012 alum here. OP represent! GO HUSKIES!
The more things change, the more they stay the same. I was there when they first installed those screaming clocks.
It's interesting to me to hear the different bell. I'm a bit of a school bell/PA system geek; can anyone identify what system they use now based on that bell tone?
The fire alarms at OPRF were the WORST. Evil. I hated them. I see they still have at least a few of the vibrating horns (the ones that buzz), but it looks like they've upgraded to a few electric horns (the ones that "screech" or "shriek") as well. I only had one class at OPRF that had an electric horn in the classroom. I always hated that they didn't just switch the whole system to speaker/strobes with voice evacuation, even though they clearly _had_ a voice evacuation system that they used for tornados and lockdowns.
Haha, yeah the fire alarms suck. Now the worst part is how often they go off as a prank, though the sound itself is super annoying.
@@LucasKultBanout Has no one learned not to pull them? Do they still "malfunction" all the time?
@@HeadsetGuy they “malfunctioned” more my freshman year. Not this year thankfully.
great brother..... greetings from the land of Borneo
I’m a 6th grader in middle school currently. I watched this video since I really wanted to see how high school would be like and the experiences of it. And it does look pretty different from what we do in MS. Like we have advisory in the afternoon before our 4th and 8th periods. Our classes are split between days. Our first 4 classes are in one day, being classified as an A day. Then we have our next four classes the next day, which we call a B day. But I believe every public MS has that. We also watch CNN 10, but during our cultural study classes only.
Great video with fantastic editing. I went to Zama American High school in Japan. Dont sweat the game my school had 3 perfect seasons with 0 wins lol.
Haha, oh man that's unfortunate 😂
@@LucasKultBanout Not really, the school was small enough so everyone knew each other. We basically just showed up to hang out.
Man i miss this place since i graduated in 2007
Good job!!! This was really fun to watch
Thanks Mariana!
Mine is often compared to a consentration camp.
It is a secondary school called tollbar academy.
Hi there Lucas! I’m from India 🇮🇳. The American high school is definitely 💯 part of the American dream. One thing I’ve noticed is that in the American school system, people choose to study subjects based on their interests and passions and therefore they’re just so much more involved in what they do and how they spend time at school, being purposeful in spending their time on they find “cool”. Here in India, the choice of education is more inclined towards societal value and doing certain things because it’s a proven field like engineering, medicine, finances and law. One thing that I’ve sure to take away from your video is that, being optimistic on every day and going to school to make sure you get to progress and learn something new that you deem cool, that’s the best anyone can take from their school days.
Hey! Your comment is very on point! Of course, there are still some pressures here to follow certain paths, but I am very much on a mission to do something that makes me happy and fulfilled. Good luck!!
Max brought me here.
Keep going :)) support from Philippines.
Thanks! How did he send you here?
2009 grad, crazy to see how much that place has changed. Are they back allowing off campus lunch? They changed it to just seniors when I was a senior.
Yeah upperclassman can go off campus for lunch.
When I went there from 2000 - 2004, it was Sophomores to Seniors that could go out too. When my brother went there some years later, he said they basically couldn't do anything anymore. Students had to wear their IDs, they canceled Morps, no one could leave anymore for lunch. Sounded like a jail to me. I don't see them going back to what it was before. BTW. when I was there there were Morps (casual Proms, Prom spelled backwards). But people started doing sexual things in the dark, so then they made it so we had to keep the lights on, and by the time my brother got there, they canceled them entirely.
In our indian school I'm in 10th grade sophomore year in high school and our timing is 7-12:30 and i go to private school so we have uniforms but honestly i like uniforms and sports is compulsory in our school
ma prof d'anglais ma fait rencontrer ta chaine en regardant ta video en cours avec toute la classe c'est aberrant!!!
Oui on l'a découvert en classe !!!!
C'est génial! Merci d'avoir regardé!
How tf are your teachers letting you record. In my school (I'm British) one kid got isolation for recording his mate speak
Dang! I guess my teachers are just more chill about that kind of thing
Happy late birthday to your english teacher
By the way, if you really didn't know, that song that was playing was the school's fight song or Loyalty song. Haha.
" We're loyal to you Oak Park High,
We're orange and blue, Oak Park High.
We'll back you to stand 'gainst the best in the land,
For we know you've got sand, Oak Park High.
Rah! Rah!
Go crashing ahead, Oak Park High!
Go smash that blockade, Oak Park High!
Our team is a fame protector, Run, team for we expect
A victory from you, Oak Park High!"
I memorized it because I was in sports there (Cross Country, and Swimming). Also, probably because our Principal at the time was an elder (Sue Bridge).
You are correct about how old the song sounds, because I'm sure it is from pretty early in the school's history.
Wow! I actually didn’t know that. We had no idea what it was but that’s pretty cool!
It's crazy that kids in a few years will be wondering why they are wearing masks at school
High school in America is way advanced than university in Africa. In terms of infrastructure and amenities.
dont get shot stay safe man
This is great Lucas keep it up!
Thanks Justin! I will!
Here in Ontario, Canada, it's pretty much the same, except football isn't as big. We didn't even have a team when I went to school in Paris, Ontario. (They do now, and recently won the district championship)
Do you like living in Canada? From the American perspective it seems pretty awesome (though of course every country has its pros and cons). I’m actually thinking about going to college at McGill in Montreal.
@@LucasKultBanout Canada is fine. I just live in a boring part of it, near the border with New York. I live in the hometown of Wayne Gretzky and the telephone. That's about all we're known for. Montreal is an amazing city. Lots to do.
You have apple monitors at school? SORICH!!All americans are so blessed than the rest of theworld that you can never even realise that factt.
All Americans are not automatically blessed or privileged just for being American.
Being a nepali, I can say that you guys are living in heaven...
1:22 YOU ARE WALKING TO SCHOOL AT 7:40?! I’m already in class by then! I have to wake up at 5 am every morning!
Great job. I've seen this video being reacted to by several folks.
Thanks! Really? I’ve only seen one of the reactions.
Yooooo I say Ms. Maddock, I love her 😢 and also the high school got revamped so everything looks better
great work Lucas!!!!
Cool video! I'm a OPRF alum, class of 1988. Go Huskies!!🧡💙
Lucas, I thank you. I am the mother of a 15-year-old boy. We are from Ukraine. I liked your video, very interesting. I watched it with my son Yegor on June 8, 2022.🕊 Лукас, я дякую тобі. Я мама 15-річного хлопчика. Ми з України. Мені сподобалось ваше відео, дуже цікаве. Дивився з сином Єгором 8 червня 2022 року.💙💛👍
Once again my man with the entertaining and godly content.
Thanks dude! We’ll have to get you in a vlog sometime soon!
My high school is in the US, but our campus is 1/4 the size of your school
Quite cool school bro, watching from Bangladesh.
Zaki Rumah (Indonesia School
Excellent video Excellent video and greetings from Ecuador! 🇪🇨😀✋✌️
Thanks for watching! 👊🏻
6:35 those dudes were really funny 😂😂
I know I'm late a year but is it actually fun high schooling in America? Im from asia and I always thought living in America is so fun since the country is so "lively".
I really love high school here!
To an extent, it is what you make of it.
The fact that u have free lunch and a good public education scares me, on Brazil the public school doesn´t teach almost anything...
Super nice Video! Seems like a great time :)
It makes me want to go back to high school.
I get that (even though I obviously haven’t graduated yet). It’s a ton of fun!
woah the school in the USA is very big and nice
My future highschool‼️
My middle school is pretty boring, there is only like one hallway of classes and the rest are elementary. It isn’t that cheerful. I’m hoping to get to high school soon. I’m tired of middle school
Good luck in high school!!
Litreally the best american high school vlog❤
Ya voice so deep,man.And the nose 👃 woooo,you are wholesome ( not a bully)
In British school corridors you can hardly move and if you look at someone you get beat up 😭
Especially if your in year 7
The music in the background gave this all a postapocalyptic we live in a vault vibe. Is there usually some kind of background music in american highschools or was it because of something special?
That usually doesn’t happen, it’s because it was Friday and there was a football game.
bro i am in 9th at the moment in pakistan but after 10th
can i contnue my 11 there
mean i am trying to say that do you see any international students there ?
Hey! Yes there are foreign exchange students at our school. I remember one German kid from my freshman year. Everyone loved him so I know you’d be welcome here!
Nice, hope I also study in America like you guys ure really enjoying your high school year and being indian high school student is just a shit.
