I was a bit confused when I first started school because in the tv shows I would always see them having individual lockers in the hallways, using letters for grading and those desks that you can open with storage space inside. I didn't know that those things were in there because the shows are made in america

    Even in America, I had that experience. Shows often show things that are outdated, only introduced in middle or high school, or that only exist in some regions.

    We didn't get lockers until middle school, and in not middle and high school they were tiny with only enough space for a few books, not the ones big enough for bullies to stuff people into in shows. We didn't use the ABCDF system in elementary school. Our desks did have a little storage compartment, but they didn't open from the top. It was just kind of like a drawer under the surface but without the drawer.

    I think the showmakers tended to conflate their memories of Elementary, Middle, and High School all together. That's why you also see elementary school students learning stuff that's way too advanced for the age they're supposed to be.

    We didn't even have lockers, ever. School still had them but no one was allowed to use them. So instead we all had back problems from carrying everything in our backpacks all day. I heard it was because of kids keeping drugs in their lockers, but getting rid of them just meant they kept them in their backpacks along with everything else. Probably made distribution easier, tbh.

    The Desks and chairs for normal classrooms looked kinda like this, although it probably varies from region to region, and they had hooks on each end to hang your bags on. Grading only started in second year and is done using the numbers 1 through 6 together with a + or a - sign, with 1 being the best and 4 passing.
