What are the good residential schools for autistic children in England?

American students + schools similar to english students + schools?

• I don't know what to be when I'm older, and I'm currently studying for my A levels. I don't really want to be a teacher in England, however the scenes of schools in America I see depicted on TV seem to have a much more relaxed setting and the teachers seem to have more freedom regarding lesson plans etc. OBVIOUSLY I know that what I see on TV may not be an accurate representation, so that is what I'm asking. Are American schools a little more liberal? I know you're not allowed to teach the theory of Evolution there but in general from what I've seen I get the impression that the classrooms are a lot more creative. I've seen science fairs, children in their own clothes etc. Do these things happen on a regular basis or is it just something you see on TV? Thank you for taking the time to read my question - I know it's a little silly. Also, how are American schools structured? Do you have primary and secondary or, like in the UK, first, middle and high?

• Answer:

  Schools are quite different in the USA, and they also differ from state to state. Most state schools do not have uniforms it's usually only privately owned schools that require a uniform. As for being more liberal and creative once again that would depend on the particular school. Evolution is taught in most schools ( I was taught evolution in a California school). And yeah we had science fairs and stuff. As for freedoms well once again it comes down to the individual school. American school I broken up in grades, 1 through 12. Elementary (grades 1-4) junior high (5-8) and high school (9-12). I have lived in the USA and UK for equal amounts of time ( I had most of my schooling in the USA). I can say that my USA schools where more casual and creative than the average UK school but I would not say ALL US schools are like that.
