Actually I am going to describe the life of a 16 year old Greek.
Every student has to wake up at 07.30 in the morning every day in order to get ready for school, in which has 7 hours lessons. After the school lessons, has to go to "Private"school lessons, these lessons help you with the Final Exams. But what are the final Exams? Let me explain in a few words the Educational System in Greece
I am now in the General Liceum, in the 2nd year ( I am done in 1 year).
Ok. In the 2nd year you have to select one of the Scientific Directions according to what you want to become.
Public SChool cannot offer you the support for the Final Exams in the 3rd Year that are the "Exams of your Life", becuase you are judged there to which schools you can go.
Anyway, a youth must study a lot in order to achieve his targets in Greece... and public school does not helps the student, even some teachers don't care about what you are going to do or not. That's why you must attend to a Private school, that helps you with the Final Exams in the afternoon. It's like having 2 schools the same day!
Anyway, in weekdays you must study a lot, but in weekends you go out with your friends and have fun... (as you know, nightlife in Greece is worth it )
