The Quick question thread

Have a short question that has been bugging you or you would just like to know outa curiosity, post it here and someone else will try and answer it

i'll start:

Do high schools down in the States hire professional coaches?

What defines 'professional'? AFAIK most get paid (depending on the district), but I'd say pretty much all of them are teachers (though some teachers just teach to coach)

I like the U.S./Canada question thing so here's one:

Is that sport curling (I think that's what it's called)/the thing with the brooms actually big in Canada or is it like really rare to see? Do schools have teams for it?

and does milk come in bags in canada? or was the video i watched on youtube lying?

I've heard thats true in a lot of different countries ^^ which is really wweirrdd.

You can buy it in bags, but you can also get it in cartons.

My question is: Why?

Why wouldn't coaches get paid? They don't get paid a lot but they get paid.

My question is: Why?

Why would you want milk in a bag???? And that would be tricky too store.

I've also heard that the milk in a bag is stored like on a shelf, not the fridge section. I dunno if thats true because I think the milk would go bad.

Weird...milk in a bag.

Canadians: What is Boxing Day?

Boxing day is just like ur Black Friday. It is the day after christmas.

Milk in a bag isn't weird. We have containers to put the bag in, u cut the corner and pour

Coaches don't get paid here..it is all teacher volunteer

Everyone knows what boxing day is
Traditionally i think it is when you would open the presents because everyone would go to church on Christmas day, but it doesn't happen any more

How does ur school system work
Freshman-9
Soph-10
Jun-11
Senior-12
?
I am in grade 11 and 16 but it seems so people here are older then me and in the grade below

hmm It does seem like there are alot of 16 year old sophs on here, or maybe thats just me. But typically you come into your Junior year 16 and come out 17.

yeah, so do we. here, milk comes in a bag, or a jug more often than a carton.
we buy the jug though.

I was just about to ask someone on here what boxing day was until I read this thread. We have jugs for milk here. Most 11th graders are 16-17 but I'll be 16 the entire school year. Coaches get paid here but not much.

my cousin is the same age as me but one year below in america

Do you think Canadian schools are harder than most american ones

how would we know that

from what i've heard from my friends that moved to US public schools, my school is really hard.
i guess boxing day isnt an american thing lol. it's cause the day after christmas is when you box up everything and store it.

how do girls feel when guys talk about hot girls? i get bored/annoyed when my girl friends keep talking about how hot a guy is...and edward cullen.

Eh I dont really care because I do the same only about guys. Sometimes it bothers me and its like..well you could at least briefly mention me..haha Or I jump in and go "ewwwwww she is so gross why would you think that?".
But this can vary with girls.

How do guys feel??

why are runners sometimes called harriers?

We just roll our eyes when girls start talking about hot guys.
