Strange Things About American Schools That Non-Americans Find Confusing

Go to the Nurse’s Office

It is quite common for most schools in the U.S to have a nurse located onsite just in case there is an emergency. Students can go visit the nurse if they are feeling a bit unwell, for any reason. Or teachers will call the nurse in case there is an accident that occurred at school.

Just like in the movies, the nurse will often give an ice pack for the injured kid to recover. A very popular meme was posted on social media which is highly accurate, stating that the only thing nurses in America do is give an ice pack to fix any problem. If it’s a meme, you know it must be true.
