American schools begin in September after a long summer holiday. The first term(学期) in a school year is from September to January. The second term is from February to June. Most American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.
High school students often go to school by bus. They have only four or five subjects each term. They usually go to different classes every day. And they have different activities in many clubs.
After high school, many students go to college(大学). They can go to a small one or a large one. Many college students work after class because they need money for their studies.

In China, most students go to school by bike or by bus. If the school is not far, they usually walk to school every day. Few students are late for class. But things are different in other countries.
In many Western countries, students live far from their schools and they have different ways to get to school. Many students go to school by car. If there is an underground system(系统) in the city, they can go by underground(地铁). In some countries, there are double-deckers. The double-decker has two floors and it can carry more people. So some students can take a double-decker to school. Scooters(踏板车) are popular with students in some Western countries. If you don't need to take a bus to school, you can go by scooter. It makes your trip more interesting and exciting. In some cold countries, such as Finland and Iceland, it often snows. The students in towns may take a bus, but the students in villages far from the school have to go by sledge(雪橇) because there is snow everywhere. It takes a little longer. Sometimes, the students may be late for school. If it snows heavily, the students have to teach themselves at home.

It's time for school! But on May 14th，Duncanville High School in Texas，US，asks 170
students to go back home．
Why? Because they are wearing the wrong clothes to sch001．
Schools in the US don't always ask students to wear uniforms．But they have dress codes
(着装要求)．For example，Duncanville High School tells Students to wear belts，shirts
without logos(标识)．
Schools' most—hated clothes are different．In 2011，people in Florida stop students from
wearing trousers that show body parts．Now，some schools don't allow(允许)leggings(紧身裤)．Other schools ask students to wear a shirt or a skirt over leggings．
Some students complain(抱怨)that schools are going too far．But schools say dress codes help protect(保护)students' safety(安全)and make sure they grow up with good taste．
“We want to teach them that they must do this not only here in sch001．but also outside school，”said Andre Smith．
