no weekends

9 to 3

Did OP go to like rich people fake school? Homework took up half your out-of-school time and I had to wake up before 6:30.

I suffered very badly because of the school times and the lack of sleep triggered manic episodes for me. Yes, getting up at 5:30 and trying to go to school on less than 3 hours every day wrecked my health and mental health.

9 to 3 would have been a God send.

Here in Romania, it's 8-14 for primary and 8-16 for secondary. 8-15 or 9-16 is pretty standard for the UK. Those both include 1 hour lunch breaks.

There's also been a push here in the EU to move to later start times for children's mental health reasons, especially for teens. I don't think it's gotten a lot of traction though.

Googling around, looks like 9-15 is standard for Australia.

I went to public school, described my experience + I did sports on weekends.

9 to 3:30 in India, and weekends only if an unexpected holiday was declared (for example, due to rain). But we had an hour or two of homework every day.
