In many secondary schools in Britain wearing school uniform is compulsory. Some schools argue that there are many disadvantages to this system. Most students don’t agree with school uniforms, however, for a lot of reasons. Firstly, when you have to wear the same clothes as everyone else, you don’t have a chance to develop personal taste in the way you dress. Moreover, people usually look scruffy in their uniforms, and you can always tell the people who come from poor homes because their uniforms are not as new
or don’t fit properly. Finally, the main reason why most students don’t like school uniforms is that most schools choose colors and styles that don’t suit young people at all.

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your letter. It's very interesting to know about schools in the USA

I think schools in Vietnam are a little different. Vietnamese students usually wear school uniform when they are at school. Classes start at 7.00 each moring and end at 11.15. Students have a 30-minute break after three periods. At break , many student play games. Some go to the canteen and buy something to eat or drink. Others talk together. Our school year lasts for nine months , from September to May. Then we have a three-month summer vacation.

Please write soon and tell me about your summer vacation

In the USA students start their secondary education at the age of 11. First they go to Middle School for three years. Then they go for Hight School for four years, form the age 14 to 18. Some students leave school when they are 16 and find jobs. But most students stay at Hight School still they are 18. Then they take exams and they get 'Hight School Diploma'. There aren't any national exams.

All students at secondary school in the USA study English, maths, science, and P.E., but students choose other subjects, so they don't all study the same subjects.

About 90% of students in the USA go to state schools. About 10% go to private schools. Most of the private schools are religious schools.
