Assemblies in the UK I swear were the bane of my life. They’d always begin with: ‘I’ve never been more disappointed in you’ or something along those lines
The Vending machine one is so true. There was a kid in every year in the UK who did this 🤣 In mine, it was a girl who's father owned a corner shop so he got her to sell sweets and drinks for him
As a person who went to a 150 year old British-established convent school in an erstwhile British colony , I relate to each of these " vs British school" bits . Our teachers are now our own people ofc but those values are ingrained hahahahahaha. When I used to watch American sitcoms as a child, I'd never understand the leniency. Some occasions aside, I honestly do believe that some of these "stricter" values, molded me better.
Utter nonsense. The school system in India is a lamentable dysfunctional parody of the British system which in itself is modelled after the Prussian school, designed to focus on nothing but obedience and servitude. Yes ma'am, no ma'am, yes sir, no sir.
as a student that attends school in the U.S, the exam vids are SO accurate. like dude are students really that fragile to even be stressed over some simple state testing? (state testing is an exam we do to submit to the state's government or smth like that) trust me it wasn't even that stressful 💀- the teachers and staff made it sound stressful because they kept saying "you can do this". like y'know, the classic motivation and encouragement.
Part of the reason why students are so worried about them is that they're told that each test/exam is going to determine whether or not you'll get into a college
Kid: my mum wanted you to have this. (Gives him a big bottle of vodka.) Mr Thomas: I knew I always liked your mum Kid: she’s requested that you be my teacher next year too Mr Thomas: someone get me a glass Us: laughing uncontrollably
If you want to know how Asian schools or atleast Indian schools are- "Teacher,what does the question say?" They will scream the answer to a word you don't know,knowing the other children don't know it,then hit you with the "that's pretty obvious now,did you even study?" You would be randomly doing something in recess,a random teacher finds you and calls you to their room,scolding you for something you did throughout the recess,and you won't even be able to eat your lunch,finally you can get a suspension if yu don't immediately take out your books by the economics teacher,or if you forgot a book that was not needed
Despite being from the same country, we both have very different school lives. The teachers in my school are happy when we ask a question about the chapter or ask them to explain something to us again. To them, this means we are interested in studying it and stuff.
When I was a kid in the seventies, the kids selling candy _were_ the vending machines. Kids would sell candy door to door to raise money for band, football team, basketball team, student treasury for events, and so on. There was always someone selling M&M's, chocolate bars, bunches of Tootsie Pops, and plenty more. Yes it was against school rules to sell them during class, but teachers turned a blind eye to it when it was sneaked. They probably understood that school kids were their own best customers, and selling for school organizations was probably harder for students than it ever should have been. It was a way to hit up the parents for donations indirectly.
I rember when i was in secondary school one of my friends gave the teacher some wine from his parents at chrismas, but he doesn’t drink so they stored it on the french room. And my friend actually got told off saying it was unexceptional even though his parents gave it to him and he got a full day of detention and his parents lied about it saying they didnt gove it to him and he got a full week of detention.
These are always so funny (not necessarily true, I live in England and my best friend moved to the US recently, so some things are quite different) and they really make my day
Y’all are lucky we have 1 teacher like that and she’s a young adult the rest are just like here’s the rules, I can’t help you during this, ask me for the bathroom and turn the test on the back table. When your finished do 45 mins of I-ready and if you have the already do cool math game quietly and in your seats. I’m looking at you Tom.
This really reminds me of when our secondary/middle school would shame kids for being bad at sports in front of their house group of like 50 - 70 people, not going to lie kind of mildly traumatic
The announcements uhg just so accurate . I still don't know why you only write British schools as if this doesn't happen in Australia. This would literally happen so often at my old school
In Britain today we had an assembly and on the wall (they used a projector) and it said “it is *NOT* okay to say *NO* to a teacher” and then proceeded to say is now not allowed under ANY circumstance to go toilet (we used to have to have a medical reason) but like- what about girls??? And if we leave the classroom. isolation. Straight away so yeah. And they banned… hugging bc it’s “ hands on”
The "Hi friends!!!" Is so true I don't mind it since they're being nice and welcoming and are trying to say that this is a welcoming classroom or whatever but idk why some teachers find it necessary to do that all year it's just weird and creepy gives me the feeling that your being happy because your trying to cover up the fact you did something illegal or something
Dementor Academy and the test with the dementors had me laughing hysterically laughing because dementors suck all the joy and happiness out of you and leave you feeling rlly sad
On the last day of school at my school (American school) it’s finishing up finals and then there’s one day after that which is optional. The only kids that come are presenting finals and finishing them if they didn’t before, or the kids who don’t want to be home… The teachers have you help clean their classrooms if you aren’t working on a final.
I'm a British person and in primary school, the teachers are all rly nice and funny and tell us not to worry about tests and they clearly helped me learn because I'm top of my year except in sport. I feel more like an American, I can't relate because I have the nicest teachers ever!
The first teacher during the test was our science/social studies teacher then are math teacher was the British teacher(just no yelling) and then our home room/ELA was some mix of the 2 depending on her mood,us and more variables.
This is too accurate for Americans. Including the misconception that Juul gets you high😂 The kids who did the announcements usually aren't ones to partake in the getting of the high
As an ultimate frisbee player, I feel personally attacked by the first short. i was intrigued when i heard ultimate frisbee, but then I died of laughter after hearing they lost by an impossible amount. lol.
I went to Podar International School in my hometown of Mumbai in India where I did IBPYP (first grade to fifth grade), CIE Checkpoint (sixth and seventh grade), and CIE IGCSE (eighth grade to tenth grade), and then to Brehm Preparatory School in Carbondale in the US state of Illinois where I did eleventh and twelfth grade. I basically had the American school feeling of joy in elementary school, but the British school feeling of discipline from middle school until I was halfway through high school, and again the feeling of joy as I joined a real American school to finish my high school diploma. Whatever little bit of joy and happiness that existed at Podar during the sixth and seventh grade died out when we started eighth grade. That’s when the real discipline started. Other than PE, inter-school sports competitions, and probably student council, all other extracurricular activities were taken away, including art classes and clubs. My peers including my best friend Anish (if you can hear me macha) didn’t have it easy, but considering I have special needs like ADD and autism, it definitely wasn’t a piece of cake for me either. I was failing my exams, and I wasn’t doing well in academics. As if that wasn’t bad enough, many people I had made friends with over my PYP years either started making fun of me or turned against me, including this girl called Hiral Kedia, whom I had been friends with since kindergarten. In the ninth grade, things began to get worse. Many more people resented me due to the fact that I had a crush on this girl in my grade called Tanisha. I tried to visit her in her class during break time, but her classmates including this dude called Aryan whom I had befriended in the fifth grade all ganged up against me and physically pushed me out of their class. However, with intervention from my mom and dad, things began to change to a limited extent. Later in the 9th grade, they hired separate tutors for each IGCSE subject (Kamlesh sir for chemistry, Sujay sir for physics, Yogita ma’am for economics, Purvi ma’am for French, Dubey Sir for maths, and Tejal ma’am for Biology and English) and a shadow Megha ma’am. Things began to somewhat improve as she did not let me go to Tanisha’s class to visit her as she and a lot of other Podarites of my batch, including my juniors and seniors got over whatever happened. In the tenth grade, I was practically homeschooled most of the time by many of the tutors I had been working with since the ninth grade. I only went to school to give my IGCSE board exams (kinda like standardised testing conducted by the Cambridge international examinations). Over that time, I lost touch with a lot of my Podar peers and forgot many of their names, except of course for my friends Anish, Jonathan, and Aamir, and my crush Tanisha. Through the second half of my high school years, the joy and excitement came back during the academic day but it was kinda like a military base during dinner and study hall. In my junior year (2017-2018), we had many different options for recreation activities during the week (Monday to Friday afternoon), like bowling, hanging out and playing games at our student activity center, going out for coffee, and more. On weekends, we sometimes went to St. Louis for recs during the day. However, in my senior year, many of this stopped. LaNeal, the recreational coordinator was demoted to recreational staff as Aaron, the director of student life wanted to take over those responsibilities. His ideas were to remove off campus recs on weekdays and reduce us to a “community.” Ugh, like that helped. I anyways graduated in May 2019 and transitioned to this program called Options Transitions to Independence. Unfortunately, the British school feeling of discipline and toxicity came back. I don’t even want to get into too much detail regarding that as Kelly Vaughn, the college counsellor of OPTIONS (she supervised students who were taking classes at JALC and SIU) had serious anger issues. She was constantly shouting at me. Even my girlfriend at the timing, Danielle was fickle. The relationship was honestly really toxic. We had an ugly breakup in January 2020 and a whole saga occurred after that. Fortunately, the pandemic was somewhat of a blessing as I got to go home and be with my dear family for a year. Unfortunately I still had to deal with Kelly online. In March 2021 I returned to Carbondale, and David, an independent living supervisor at the supervised apartments at OPTIONS building X was toxically strict. He punished me for a mere prank call through an app to someone who was not even at Options. Anyways in my first year at OPTIONS, every time he saw me in sweatpants, he would force me to go change, even if it meant getting late to class. God, I had to face many people. I guess if a student commits a mistake, they believe in having as many people reprimand him/her until he/she gets mentally demolished. They even support each other through everything they do. They literally stick together no matter what, whether they are right or even if they are wrong. In my extension year (where the student lives in his/her own apartment and gets little to no support beyond academics) at OPTIONS, I told Kelly what I would do differently if I could turn back time to my first year at OPTIONS, she said “you know, I could have killed you.” I tried to bring this to Kristin’s (the associate director of the program) and Scott’s (the head of the program) notice, but all I got was “she didn’t mean it,” and “she was probably joking.” Dude, all over the world people, especially minors who are not even teenagers are getting arrested just for being falsely accused of making such statements, like where an Indian kid in Texas was accused of joking that his electronic bag was an explosive weapon and got arrested. What really hurts is that they did not even inform his parents. Such things are happening and Kelly is treated like royalty. Even worse, Alex the vocational counsellor at OPTIONS outright refused to work with me to find on-campus work at SIU, lying that “your visa will not allow it.” I tried to tell her that it doesn’t allow off campus work but it allows on-campus work, but she still stood her ground and lied that “your visa won’t allow it.” What really hurts is that everyone was agreeing with her. It was only after my mom spoke to her did she finally agree to work with me, but by then it was too late. It was April, the academic year was almost over, and I was leaving OPTIONS afterwards. Anyways, my parents rescued me and now I’m a full time student at SIU. I’m feeling a lot better now. Unfortunately, it’s not “the end” yet. Sam Daly, a guy who used to bully me at Brehm and OPTIONS is still doing so. Fortunately, another friend from OPTIONS, Max understands my plight. He is neutral between us though. Unfortunately, considering how much I resent Sam and Kelly I made a Brehm memes page to Dosa many people including them. Unfortunately, Sam found the meme page and informed OPTIONS. Max’s life skills supervisor Rod informed him that until that meme page is gone, he would not be allowed to transport me in his car. I mean, seriously, this is Max’s car. He and/or his parents are the ones who decide who can and cannot ride in his car. I guess OPTIONS believes “what belongs to OPTIONS belongs to OPTIONS. And what belongs to the students also belongs to OPTIONS.” I guess they are not there to help the extension students but are there to punish them. I anyways hope to graduate from SIU by spring 2024 and leave Carbondale lock, stock and barrel. Dot.
Almost everyone at my school(American) do be bringing the vapes tho- Also, my principal once when I was in 5th grade stopped an entire class session just so one guy would take off his wrestling head-set(my 4th-6th grade principal would also scream at the top of his lungs, so that wasn't fun)
Not gonna lie the food in my comp was really nice some days you have a full roast with gravy and yorkshire puds some days u have pasta with garlic bread its nice food there
As a British person I can definitely relate to some of these compilations lol 😂
Especially the exams
Gcses are important
I relate to all of them except the part when the headmaster called 999
I relate
only brits use emojis
Exactly
I'd love to see you do an "American Karens vs Brisitish Karens" 😄
Yess
Assemblies in the UK I swear were the bane of my life. They’d always begin with: ‘I’ve never been more disappointed in you’ or something along those lines
we had an assembly every morning and we had to sit on the hard wooden floor - I don't think my back has ever recovered
3:09 I’m American and I can conform that they ALWAYS say “you are gonna knock it out of the park
The Vending machine one is so true. There was a kid in every year in the UK who did this 🤣 In mine, it was a girl who's father owned a corner shop so he got her to sell sweets and drinks for him
Literally so accurate for the British ones especially in my school my Spanish and French teachers saying is literally “Life’s hard then you die “ lol

I was absolutely wheezing 😂😂

I wouldn't say fragile, some people just get anxious over things like that.
It’s called test taking anxiety and it’s real
Part of the reason why students are so worried about them is that they're told that each test/exam is going to determine whether or not you'll get into a college
Kid: my mum wanted you to have this. (Gives him a big bottle of vodka.)
Mr Thomas: I knew I always liked your mum
Kid: she’s requested that you be my teacher next year too
Mr Thomas: someone get me a glass
Us: laughing uncontrollably
The British announcement was exactly like my Headmistress before this Half-Term 😂👍
Hahaha omg so like mine
@@nya4788 😂
As a brit, I can relate to so many of these, especially the ANNOUNCEMENT one 😂
If you want to know how Asian schools or atleast Indian schools are-
"Teacher,what does the question say?"
They will scream the answer to a word you don't know,knowing the other children don't know it,then hit you with the "that's pretty obvious now,did you even study?"

Wowww
Despite being from the same country, we both have very different school lives. The teachers in my school are happy when we ask a question about the chapter or ask them to explain something to us again. To them, this means we are interested in studying it and stuff.
Ikr this was my exact school,I moved to England and it is so much better here
I’m an American teacher who lived in England when I was a child so this definitely hits home.
3:38 "May the odds be ever in your favor" That just reminds me of the Hunger Games
The test one is definatly true, I'm american and thats EXACTLY what our teacher said today during class.
Laughs in Australian where school is a confusing mix of both US and UK schools
ikr
oml why is that accurate
These always give me a good laugh, keep on filming!
Why are the British ones so accurate 😭😭😭
Absolutely love your videos! They never fail to make me chuckle! Keep ‘‘em coming please x

my teachers always acted like a simple spelling test was to determine if u got to go to college 😪😪🤷♀️
I rember when i was in secondary school one of my friends gave the teacher some wine from his parents at chrismas, but he doesn’t drink so they stored it on the french room. And my friend actually got told off saying it was unexceptional even though his parents gave it to him and he got a full day of detention and his parents lied about it saying they didnt gove it to him and he got a full week of detention.
This is accurate. I attend a British school and all I know is discipline
Not gonna lie in my American school if u breath when they say be quiet u get sent to the office and more
A Pole here, but I feel like I'm in the UK watching this video, especially with the exam day and the results which will determine your future life 🤣🤣🤣
American my school was like the British school
The movie one, is beyond accurate for America, we used to watch movies all the time though, not just on the last day of school.
“IT STOPS NOW!” Soooo true
Fr
This is scary accurate 😂
1:17 the fact that my school is British but they treat us like the American schools
As a British person this is very true
These are always so funny (not necessarily true, I live in England and my best friend moved to the US recently, so some things are quite different) and they really make my day
USA one is true for me but they treat us a little less like a baby
Y’all are lucky we have 1 teacher like that and she’s a young adult the rest are just like here’s the rules, I can’t help you during this, ask me for the bathroom and turn the test on the back table.

The voice......I can't😂😂😂😂😂
The Harry Potter and Hunger Games are cheering me up when I'm playing the Pottering Period Game
The announcements uhg just so accurate . I still don't know why you only write British schools as if this doesn't happen in Australia. This would literally happen so often at my old school
My history teacher used to say: there isn't enough time to beathe before you die. She said this before every test 🤓
For the first one, the British one was so accurate lmaoo 😂
0:31
Very relatable
Edit* 0:38
DEFINATELY. Especially as me and my sister break uniform rules too
him: "the only thing high at Cracker Barrel High is spirit"
me: the spirit of the drugs
If u were my English teacher 😭✨✨
I would of loved him as my American teacher. So cool and laidback. But in the British school, I’m running away not looking back
In Britain today we had an assembly and on the wall (they used a projector) and it said “it is *NOT* okay to say *NO* to a teacher” and then proceeded to say is now not allowed under ANY circumstance to go toilet (we used to have to have a medical reason) but like- what about girls??? And if we leave the classroom. isolation. Straight away so yeah. And they banned… hugging bc it’s “ hands on”
This is so true in the British one that's my head teacher I didn't now you could bee her lol
Amazing like always
4:10 The teacher asked for silence and I coughed. Perfect
The "Hi friends!!!" Is so true I don't mind it since they're being nice and welcoming and are trying to say that this is a welcoming classroom or whatever but idk why some teachers find it necessary to do that all year it's just weird and creepy gives me the feeling that your being happy because your trying to cover up the fact you did something illegal or something
Dementor Academy and the test with the dementors had me laughing hysterically laughing because dementors suck all the joy and happiness out of you and leave you feeling rlly sad

Do you think you could do a video about advice for working at a summer camp as a Brit?
I feel like you’re self projecting about when you went to school versus the schools you've taught at. 😂 It’s alright I had a crap time at school too.
I just love that it is exactly 5 minuets long
Ohhhh as someone who has seen both sides of the pond this is painfully accurate.
I'm a British person and in primary school, the teachers are all rly nice and funny and tell us not to worry about tests and they clearly helped me learn because I'm top of my year except in sport. I feel more like an American, I can't relate because I have the nicest teachers ever!
May the odds be ever in your favor 🤣🤣
3:39 that is a hunger games reference
I mean taking a test is the equivalent of joining the hunger games
We never watched movies on the last day of school. We'd just stare at the teacher, do some small talk and get dismissed earlier 😆
The first teacher during the test was our science/social studies teacher then are math teacher was the British teacher(just no yelling) and then our home room/ELA was some mix of the 2 depending on her mood,us and more variables.
The different square patterns on the shirt and jacket give subtle aggressive signals😁😆
The one where they put to many paragraphs that literally happened to me today in geography
This is so relatable because I’m in America and my friends are in England
The test one is so true, it’s so spot on lmfao
him: may the odds be ever in your favour 3:36
me: oh a hunger games thing
The only thing high is our spirits
Me: and probably a couple kids
British here, the exam ones felt especially accurate
My sister is in a British school and it’s so accurate!
This is too accurate for Americans. Including the misconception that Juul gets you high😂
The kids who did the announcements usually aren't ones to partake in the getting of the high
As an ultimate frisbee player, I feel personally attacked by the first short. i was intrigued when i heard ultimate frisbee, but then I died of laughter after hearing they lost by an impossible amount. lol.
When I first watched this (the announcements one) we had just had an assembly EXACTLY like it the day before
In my school I don’t even have a canteen for use, the teachers are using it lmfao
You should do what u expect an aussie school to be like and tag me
The x at the end of ‘nothing, sir’ lol
Mate we don’t even HAVE vending machines!-
The high school near me?no
Our school?No.
NONE ANYWHERE!!!THE ONLY ONE I’VE SEEN IS IN TOWN-
3:39 I don’t know if it was a hunger games reference but if it was I loved it
I went to Podar International School in my hometown of Mumbai in India where I did IBPYP (first grade to fifth grade), CIE Checkpoint (sixth and seventh grade), and CIE IGCSE (eighth grade to tenth grade), and then to Brehm Preparatory School in Carbondale in the US state of Illinois where I did eleventh and twelfth grade.

Things began to somewhat improve as she did not let me go to Tanisha’s class to visit her as she and a lot of other Podarites of my batch, including my juniors and seniors got over whatever happened.
In the tenth grade, I was practically homeschooled most of the time by many of the tutors I had been working with since the ninth grade. I only went to school to give my IGCSE board exams (kinda like standardised testing conducted by the Cambridge international examinations). Over that time, I lost touch with a lot of my Podar peers and forgot many of their names, except of course for my friends Anish, Jonathan, and Aamir, and my crush Tanisha.
Through the second half of my high school years, the joy and excitement came back during the academic day but it was kinda like a military base during dinner and study hall. In my junior year (2017-2018), we had many different options for recreation activities during the week (Monday to Friday afternoon), like bowling, hanging out and playing games at our student activity center, going out for coffee, and more. On weekends, we sometimes went to St. Louis for recs during the day. However, in my senior year, many of this stopped. LaNeal, the recreational coordinator was demoted to recreational staff as Aaron, the director of student life wanted to take over those responsibilities. His ideas were to remove off campus recs on weekdays and reduce us to a “community.” Ugh, like that helped. I anyways graduated in May 2019 and transitioned to this program called Options Transitions to Independence.
Unfortunately, the British school feeling of discipline and toxicity came back. I don’t even want to get into too much detail regarding that as Kelly Vaughn, the college counsellor of OPTIONS (she supervised students who were taking classes at JALC and SIU) had serious anger issues. She was constantly shouting at me. Even my girlfriend at the timing, Danielle was fickle. The relationship was honestly really toxic. We had an ugly breakup in January 2020 and a whole saga occurred after that. Fortunately, the pandemic was somewhat of a blessing as I got to go home and be with my dear family for a year.

Anyways in my first year at OPTIONS, every time he saw me in sweatpants, he would force me to go change, even if it meant getting late to class. God, I had to face many people. I guess if a student commits a mistake, they believe in having as many people reprimand him/her until he/she gets mentally demolished. They even support each other through everything they do. They literally stick together no matter what, whether they are right or even if they are wrong.
In my extension year (where the student lives in his/her own apartment and gets little to no support beyond academics) at OPTIONS, I told Kelly what I would do differently if I could turn back time to my first year at OPTIONS, she said “you know, I could have killed you.” I tried to bring this to Kristin’s (the associate director of the program) and Scott’s (the head of the program) notice, but all I got was “she didn’t mean it,” and “she was probably joking.” Dude, all over the world people, especially minors who are not even teenagers are getting arrested just for being falsely accused of making such statements, like where an Indian kid in Texas was accused of joking that his electronic bag was an explosive weapon and got arrested.

It was only after my mom spoke to her did she finally agree to work with me, but by then it was too late. It was April, the academic year was almost over, and I was leaving OPTIONS afterwards.
Anyways, my parents rescued me and now I’m a full time student at SIU. I’m feeling a lot better now. Unfortunately, it’s not “the end” yet. Sam Daly, a guy who used to bully me at Brehm and OPTIONS is still doing so. Fortunately, another friend from OPTIONS, Max understands my plight. He is neutral between us though.

I anyways hope to graduate from SIU by spring 2024 and leave Carbondale lock, stock and barrel. Dot.

This makes me feel like British schools actually prepare you for the real world where not everything revolves around you and disappointment is real
Almost everyone at my school(American) do be bringing the vapes tho-
Also, my principal once when I was in 5th grade stopped an entire class session just so one guy would take off his wrestling head-set(my 4th-6th grade principal would also scream at the top of his lungs, so that wasn't fun)
You are brilliant!
