Archived Information - To Sum It Up: Chapter 4, The Place of School in Adolescents' Lives (Part 1 of 2) |
 | | For many, school is not only about classes, but is also the hub of an active life; it is where they meet friends and socialize, participate in sports, pursue personal interests through extracurricular activities, try out various social roles, and express themselves through their appearance and behavior. |
 | | High school students are more likely to study for the college entrance examinations by themselves, but some do enroll in courses focused on the college entrance examinations or that are more advanced than the courses available in most high schools. |
 | | Schools seldom organize review sessions for students, as is frequently done by teachers in German schools, and, for the most part, students are left on their own to study commercially published books containing cues about how to take the examination, summaries of important concepts, and examples of examination questions. |
