How is high school day organized in Finland, and is there a lunch break?

At present Finnish high school - or as we call it, upper secondary school (Finnish lukio) - syllabus is 150 study credits and one credit equals 9 hrs and 20 mins of classroom time. À présent le lycée finlandais ... a une curriculum de 150 point d'études et un point égale 9 h et 20 min en cours. The length of your school day depends on what study groups are available in a given period, with 4–6 periods in a school year depending on the school you attend. La longueur de votre journée en école dépend de quelle groupes sont accessibles une période donnée, et dans l'année il y a 4–6 périodes, en fonction de l'école que vous fréquentez. The maximum duration of a school day for high school students is 8 hrs. La durée maximale d'une journé pour lycéens est de 8 heures. There is a lunch break usually around noon and all Finnish schools offer a free hot lunch! Il y a une pause déjeuner, normalement vers midi, et toutes les écoles offrent un déjuner chaud gratuit.

High school years here in Finland
January 24, 2010 | Posted by Katja
https://finnfantastic.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/high-school-years-here-in-finland/
A Typical school day starts at 8.10 and ends at half past two. La journée scolaire typique commence à 8 h 10 et finit à deux et demi. Between every subjects you have about 15 minutes break, when students can just relax. Entre chaque sujets (sic) on a environ 15 minutes de pause, et les étudiants peuvent juste se relâcher. Most of the students goes to the downstairs, where are sofas. La plupart des étudiants va en bas, où [il y] a des sofas. Sometimes, at around 11 is a lunch break which lasts about 40 minutes. Parfois (sic), vers c. 11 h [il y] a une pause déjeuner qui dire environ 40 minutes. School lunch is free, but students can buy snacks which is fee, from school café. Le déjeuner de la cantine est gratuit, mais les étudiants peuvent acheter des encas ce qui est [pour un] prix, de la cafétéria.
L'école en Finlande se porte mieux qu'en France. Pour le Collège, PISA donne davantage de points à Finlande qu'à la Suède ou à la France en chaqu'une des trois matières.
Les cours sont devant des jusqu'à 35 lycéens, mais typicalement 18 ou 19 en moyenne.
Si on a moins d'heures en classe, l'encadrage professorale suffit pour des classes plus petites ...
Est-ce que ça tient à la richesse des pays, est-ce que la Finlande est plus riche par capita que la France ? Légèrement.

Finland Income Tax 2026: Rates, Brackets & How to File
https://taxravens.com/en/blog/finland-personal-taxation
Finlande France € 55 000 - 29,84% = € 38 589,78 € 55 000 - 30,44% = € 38 259,45 € 150 000 - 43,19% = € 85 210,65 € 150 000 - 39,88% = € 90 179,71 € 300 000 - 47,12% = € 158 632,08 € 300 000 - 47,3% = € 158 085,41 € 1 000 000 - 49,87% = 501 265,42 € 1 000 000 - 50,95% = € 490 484,69
C'est donc surtout une question de l'organisation de l'école, notamment le lycée même. ET de son obligation ou non. Je viens déjà de noter pour la Suède, le lycée n'est pas obligatoire. Les "lycées pour majeurs" en Komvux ne sont pas automatiquement des "lycées de seconde chance" ... en Finlande, pareil. Par contre, si la Suède a obligation scolaire (un abus !) la Finlande a obligation d'instruction (même différence entre Allemagne et Autriche) et en Finlande, celle-ci vient d'être prolongé jusqu'à l'âge de 18. Mais très récemment, ça n'a pas encore affecté le bilan pour ceux qui vont ou ne vont pas aux lycées, ou pas tellement que de les changer.
En fin de compte, je trouve probable que le grande différence entre la Finlande et la France est le nombre d'heures par jour.
Ceci a une autre conséquence aussi. Quand le lycée est tellement une question de bâchotage qu'il semble être le cas en France, on a du mal à se séparer des choses qu'on y a apprises.
Un peu comme je ne suis pas grand volontaire de changer mes tables de carbone 14 chaque fois qu'il y a une raison de les considérer comme inexactes. Ce sont des posts qui prend beaucoup de temps à faire.

Yes, Abortion is Always Wrong
This Facebook comment changed my view on abortion

Allie Beth Stuckey has her issues on Economics, but this she is right on.
No reservations here. (Minor other takeaway, comments in polemics online do* change minds, as do comments offline)./HGL
* (If you want examples from my own experience, I was in the Vatican II Sect in late 1990, defending Novus Ordo, and a fellow convert, now EO, broke down the defenses I had for the new liturgy and for ecumenism, and some people on Nanterre challenged me on carbon build up from low, generating extra years, to high, normal dating applies, after which I have tried to show since 2015 that no, the required build up of carbon 14 isn't lethal doses of radiation, and my latest version of this venture is on Newer Tables: Preliminaries · Flood to Joseph in Egypt · Joseph in Egypt to Fall of Troy., while an online comment on Distant Starlight, leading to my first defense, Kent Hovind style, "very skinny triangle" and an exchange making that inadequate, led to Geocentrism as my solution to Distant Starlight, see Distant Starlight? How Distant is That? for latest expression. As to abortion, I had a very good mother, who raised me well.)

Continuing the Tirade of Genetically Modified Sceptic, but Discission, Not Video Comment
Assorted retorts from yahoo boards and elsewhere: No, Evangelicals are NOT Worsening the Illiteracy Crisis of Wheatley High School · New blog on the kid: Continuing the Tirade of Genetically Modified Sceptic, but Discission, Not Video Comment
For each student, the church that runs it receives over $10,000 per year. And that money comes directly out of the state's public education budget.
Yes, 1 billion dollars in total in Texas ... out of 89.4 billion dollars total for education.
Wait, not even out of. Compared to. Check my quote again:
Altogether, public schools in Texas received $89.4 billion in funding, or $16,200 per student.
Remember Wheatley High School? Well, the voucher scheme has almost certainly made things worse for them because in just the last year, Houston area public schools lost 8,000 students to vouchers. That's $68 million in funding gone from their public education in one year.
Thanks for the disclaimer "almost certainly" ...
The following quote is only applicable to Houston, not the wider area:
For the 2026-27 school year, there are 767 public schools serving 539,962 students in Houston, TX (there are 289 private schools, serving 59,877 private students). 90% of all K-12 students in Houston, TX are educated in public schools (compared to the TX state average of 94%).
Best Houston Public Schools
https://www.publicschoolreview.com/texas/houston
Public schools, 704 students per school. Private schools, 207 students.
Public schools, 16 200 dollars state funding per year. Private schools, 10 474 dollars funding per year.
The private schools are cheaper for the state and give better results, simply from being smaller. But by existing, they make public schools smaller too.
Now, GMS is hopping from Houston to Tori Gessner's report on Tennessee:
According to the Tennessee Department of Education, 9,360 of the 15,000 newly available vouchers went to students in the program's third-priority category, where a family of four could make up to $173,000 per year.
In addition, 3,970 of the new vouchers went to students from families eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. For a family of four, that generally means earning about $61,000 annually or less.
Majority of new vouchers went to higher-income families this school year, state data shows
Tori Gessner | Thu, August 13, 2026 at 12:26 AM GMT+2
https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/majority-vouchers-went-higher-income-222658438.html
Family of four up to 61 000 per year 3 970 / 15 000 = 26.47 %.
Family of four up to 173 000 per year 9360 / 15 000 = 62.4 %
So, 88.87 % to families of four below 173 000 per year, whereof 26.47 % to families of four below 61 000 per year.
Or to Louisiana.
In Louisiana, 99% of school vouchers go to families which earn more than $200,000 per year.
Thus GMS.
Voucher tax credits reimburse individuals and businesses for “donations” they make to organizations that give out vouchers for free or reduced tuition at private K-12 schools—the overwhelming majority of which are religious in nature.
...
In all three states providing data—Arizona, Louisiana, and Virginia—more than half of all voucher tax credits are flowing to families with annual incomes over $200,000.
Tax Avoidance Continues to Fuel School Privatization Efforts
ITEP | March 3, 2023 | Brief • Carl Davis
https://itep.org/tax-avoidance-fuels-school-vouchers-privatization-efforts/
So no, the thing that goes to these high income families (anaesthesiologist, roof layer, successful author ... if it's one income) isn't vouchers, it's voucher tax credits. Given to those making donations. It can be seen from Tennessee that those getting vouchers (i e contributions to schooling) are actually poorer than that. They are not high income, but middle income.
A single person is middle income from $40,100 to $120,200; a household of four from $80,100 to $240,400.
The width of the band never changes in relative terms: the upper bound is always three times the lower one. The level is what moves. Going from one person to four doubles both bounds, because the square root of four is two. A household with $85,000 a year is middle income if one person lives on it and lower income if five do.
Middle Class Income Range in the US, by Household Size
https://eco3min.fr/en/middle-class-income-range-by-household-size/
The Louisiana study didn't mention how large the families with "more than $200,000 per year" were. Large families are often interested in private schools by having many children, and large families with "more than $200,000 per year" aren't necessarily high income.
If Jesus was born today, you would bomb him or lock him up or destroy his childhood school all in his own name.
His childhood school? Well, He was a homeschooler, it would seem.
And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me

Did Jesus Go To School? What Did His Education Likely Include?
Last updated on: October 22, 2015 at 9:15 am by Jack Wellman
https://www.patheos.com/blogs/christiancrier/2015/10/22/did-jesus-go-to-school-what-did-his-education-likely-include/
Apparently Joshua ben Gamliel instituted rules regulating schools and this was likely very formalized by the time Jesus was a youth as by age six or seven, all Jewish boys were expected to begin their education. Just as in schools today the boys were taught reading by drawing letters on a board.
By the time Jesus was a youth? Seriously?
JOSHUA BEN GAMLA (d. 69/70 C.E.), a high priest in the last years of the Second Temple. Joshua was married to one of the wealthiest women of Jerusalem, *Martha, daughter of Boethus (Yev. 6:4; ibid., 61a; Yoma 18a and Tos. ibid.; Git. 56a). He is apparently to be identified with the Joshua b. Gamaliel referred to by Josephus (Ant., 20:213) as a high priest appointed by *Agrippa II. In common with the high priests at the end of the Second Temple period Joshua, too, was appointed to office because of his wealth. Although most of the others were deprecated in rabbinic literature, Joshua was singled out for praise for his establishing a universal system of education after all previous attempts failed. He evolved a system whereby "teachers of young children be appointed in each district and each town," whereas previously they were to be found only in Jerusalem. ... Josephus, who describes Joshua as his intimate friend (Life, 204), says he was one of the most vehement opponents of the extremist Zealots at the time of the Roman War (Wars, 4:160). ...

No, Jesus was a homeschooler.
And all Christians aren't Zionists who bomb schools in Palestine. In fact, not even all Zionists endorse that. But not all Christians are Zionists in the first place. Not even those who love private schools. Just ask some Trad Catholics!

Un gardien de sécurité d'une grande surface.
Je pose mon bagage. Deux sacs.
Je commence mon shopping pour un repas avec riz à la provençale. Je ne le trouve pas tout de suite, mais je le trouve avant que le gardien me vient parler.
Ensuite, il me dirige vers la caisse, pour que je paie la seule marchandise, et pendant ce temps, j'ai envie de l'égorger. Ou quleque chose.
Pour les sdf (oui, j'étais identifiable comme quelque part un peu bohème), il y a des ultra-bourges qui sont les casseurs du quottidien.
Et des Noirs et Beurs se prêtent plus volontiers à ce rôle.
Ces gens là, depuis des années, me détiennent en permanence en état de colère sournoise, d'humilitation permanente, pour que je sois trop émotionellement épuisé pour pouvoir interagir avec les jeunes qui seraient les gens à qui j'aurais posé mon espoir autrement.
Des gens qui souhaitent d'avoir ces ultrabourges à mes trousses, ils méritent quelque part les casseurs. Si ce sont eux les victimes, ce que je ne sais pas.
Ceci dit, les casseurs n'arrangent pas les choses, ils réduisent les alternatives aux grandes surfaces.

Introivit ergo iterum in praetorium Pilatus : et vocavit Jesum, et dixit ei : Tu es rex Judaeorum Respondit Jesus : A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me 35 Respondit Pilatus : Numquid ego Judaeus sum? gens tua et pontifices tradiderunt te mihi : quid fecisti Respondit Jesus : Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, ministri mei utique decertarent ut non traderer Judaeis : nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc Dixit itaque ei Pilatus : Ergo rex es tu? Respondit Jesus : Tu dicis quia rex sum ego. Ego in hoc natus sum, et ad hoc veni in mundum, ut testimonium perhibeam veritati : omnis qui est ex veritate, audit vocem meam
Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice
John 18:33-37
Pilate étant donc rentré dans le prétoire, appela Jésus, et lui dit : « Es-tu le roi des Juifs ? » Jésus répondit : « Dis-tu cela de toi-même, ou d’autres te l’ont-ils dit de moi ? » Pilate répondit : « Est-ce que je suis Juif ? Ta nation et les chefs des prêtres t’ont livré à moi : qu’as-tu fait ? » Jésus répondit : « Mon royaume n’est pas de ce monde ; si mon royaume était de ce monde, mes serviteurs auraient combattu pour que je ne fusse pas livré aux Juifs, mais maintenant mon royaume n’est point d’ici-bas. » Pilate lui dit : « Tu es donc roi ? » Jésus répondit : « Tu le dis, je suis roi. Je suis né et je suis venu dans le monde pour rendre témoignage à la vérité : quiconque est de la vérité écoute ma voix. »

Distant Starlight? How Distant is That?
What has the one-way speed of light got to do with a young universe?
Creation Ministries International | 24 or 25 Oct. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dbVWrtY_3hM
I don't know if this video published 11 hours ago was so in NZ or Oz, today, or in the US, yesterday.
I do know the problem is one which has interested me since 2001.
The answer I held then and still hold, is, stars are not that far away.
I don't fiddle with the one way speed of light, I presume it's the same as the two way speed.
If Earth is still, the c. 20 arc seconds back and forth per year movement of any star is not aberration. The c. 0.76 arc seconds back and forth per year of α Centauri is not parallax. By the way it's measured against the background of aberration. Instead they are aspects of a proper movement of the stars, even if that's not how modern astronomers interpret it.
If "parallax" is not parallactic, the triangulation doesn't involve three angles and a distance, but just three angles. That cannot give us any distance.
We cannot presume the proper movement of the star and of all other stars are just the same distance as the movement of the Sun around the Zodiac.
And if α Centauri in the actual proper movement doesn't do the distance of the Sun, either by "parallax" or by "aberration", then α Centauri is not four light years away.
Dr. Mark Harwood is nearly perfectly right here:
So if you think about it, if the stars were to fulfill their purpose, the light had to reach the earth immediately. Otherwise, how could they fulfill their function? And in fact, in Psalm 19, it says, "The heavens declare the glory of God." So if we could not see the stars, how would God be declaring his glory to us?
With stars created on day 4, if their light reached Earth on day 5, so 24 h delay, that would be adequate to reach birds and fish that make their migrations by star positions. I think that at Creation, stars were one light day up. We may soon see if Voyager 1 hits an obstacle or not when reaching that distance. If it doesn't, it might be because the star layer has expanded outward. Maybe 2 or 3 light days, maybe 10, maybe 3 and 1/2 light years.
No star is "100 000" or "100 000 000" light years away.

Everything you have been told about how to tell whether someone is lying to you is wrong…

Meanwhile, presuming me a liar, cutting me off from human contact, makes for Ben Gunn's syndrome, which could be mistaken for certain mental diseases.
When you spend lots of time alone, you are likely to speak to people not present in the room, while perfectly being aware of that fact.

I'm sorry that Leeja Miller misuses the term Fascist, and that she makes a publicity for lewd toys and I still link to her.

Why Are The French Protesting So Hard?

On August 31st, on the island of Mayotte, a French colonial holding in the Indian Ocean, a group of teachers, parents, and students went on strike, protesting the deplorable and deteriorating conditions at the local high school, which was built for 900 students yet enrolled over 2,200. A week later in French Guiana in South America, another French colony, students began protesting and shutting down their local secondary schools supported by teachers and parents to protest the often dangerous conditions in their schools and the severe teacher shortage caused not by a lack of teachers but by a lack of funding. In Mayotte, for example, over half of public secondary teachers do not have a permanent teaching job. The protests lasted weeks in the French colonies before spreading to mainland France at the end of September when a protest at one school spread, resulting in hundreds of thousands of high school students walking out, shutting down their schools, and taking to the streets to peacefully protest the abhorrent conditions in their schools
In French Guiana and on Mayotte, school is the ticket to a better life in France, sometimes then coming back to form the élite of these countries.
While most lose that lottery, it's still worth taking if it means a theoretic chance to vastly improve your life.
For those protesting in France, the chances are probably (my personal ad hoc assessment) lower.
Many would have been better off in a job for boys or in marriage for girls, if the lycée had just not been compulsory as education if not school presence, and if girls had just still been able to marry from 15.
And in complex jobs, start the apprentissage (apprenticeship) at 15 instead of after the high school at 18.
If anyone when I was 16 had just offered me an apprenticeship on a newspaper (outside school) with some writing assignments, or a pilgrimage or anything rather than my staying at a High School where I actually did get very good grades, my chances would have been better. And I knew for a fact when voting yes to one of my students getting most of his Eighth Grade time reduced to spend time as apprentice with a cook, I was doing him a favour. He is probably a chef by now, but he was so bored, when calculating the area to be covered in paint for a rectangular door with a round hole for a window, he instead calculated a square hole in a huge ellipse. If he has any trouble finding a decoration for his restaurant, I'd be happy to show how his math result would actually look so he could use that for decoration. Unless someone else already did so. Including himself.
Probably he thought, very correctly, that you just make sure you have enough paint, and then you'll have paint left once the door is painted. No need to calculate. He did correct the result when I pointed it out, he wasn't dense, he was just uninterested, and very justifiably so, in school subjects.
People from Mayotte or French Guiana are not just counting on the leverage that education as such may give them, they probably have quotas.
Meanwhile, High Schools apparently really are in a bad shape, and having fewer students, shorter hours (which would reduce class size) is apparently not up for debate, even if I suggested it.
Macron after early protests tried to get petrol. Now, that resource is becoming scarce due to the situation in the Persian Gulf. Some who raised Palestinian flags during the riots are conscious of what role IL played herein.
And high fuel prices are raising prices and so devaluating the monetary resources they had previously. Going local might not be bad, like Harrys is made in only four places in France, while the baker is making bread in every street corner. Meanwhile, that has made it less easy to pay for good High Schools. When Macron left after early protests to get more petrol, that was not tonedeaf, he was actually looking for a solution.
I'm not inviting anyone to protest tomorrow, and especially not to riot.
But I am also not saying police can continue things like the blinded girl or the boy who got hands destroyed in repressing riots.

I might add that compensating small business is not a bad thing and compensating those hurt by police, as hands or eyes, won't make that too expensive./HGL
