Generally,
the schools start at 08.30 and end at 17.30. French
students are expected to read their textbooks at home
and take a lot of notes in classes. Host parents often
interfere in exchange students’ school life at first

tests and assignments. Teens usually spend their weekends
with friends, as there isn’t enough time during the
week when they have to focus on their school assignments.
