Nowadays it’s known well that the common word “teacher” appeared in Ancient Greece. But its definition was not good as well. The Greeks referred to as slaves, who accompanied the master’s children to school and back, and followed them home.

Knowing it, the contemporary people are able to understand the phrase “Spartan conditions” without any additional problems.
Differences in educational process
In Russia, the first state secondary school appeared thanks to Peter the Great. But there were taught only boys aged from 12 to 17 years.
US students, who first came to school, should swear allegiance to America. Now they are swearing, handing on their heart, and until 1942 there had been another gesture, when the first hand applied to their heart, and then suddenly thrown forward. But it was very similar to a Nazi that is why it was made a decision to replace it.
The answer to the question “What is the date of Teachers’ Day 2019?” can be different in various countries or even in the parts of the same state, because of the local traditions.
For example, in Russian schools it is glorious to be an excellent student, but in the Czech Republic, “five” is considered to be the worst mark, as well as “one” is the most excellent. In France they have a “12-balls” system of evaluation, while in China – “100-balls” system (scores below 60 are considered to be unsatisfactory), and in Norwegian schools children don’t get any mark until they’re in the eighth grade.
The school with the highest student amount is arranged in India. There 28 thousand people study now.

For example, don’t forget that in English schools pupils are allowed to speak only on the right, literary language, even the word “hello” is not allowed. The main goal of this place is to improve the culture of speech and to increase vocabulary of students, who usually become future businessmen and businesswomen.
It is interesting to know that in Japan, almost all teachers are male. You can hardly find a lady teacher there. The strange thing is that on the territory of any educational institution there are no any canteens, that is why the children have to have lunch sitting at their desks.
