Or maybe there was one but I just have it erased from my memory and feel guilty for not participating.
Also why isn't being an adult fun?

Whenever someone sings fansa and they don't input their name instead of mona at the mona-beam part I'm like "Are you even a real aidoru?".

I seem to remember my (private)Elementary school having something of the sort. but idk.

Also I enjoy being an adult more than a child honestly, I like having a functioning brain.

At some point in my school years we attended the festival of nations as an annual field trip. It was really cool, exhibits showcasing cultures from across the world.

And with that...pow! I'm gone!

They both have their ups and downs.
I always look back fondly on those early teenaged Summers with nothing to do, no school, the world was your oyster

We did a culture festival for a while, but stopped because it's kind of pointless in a high school of all white Italian/Irish Catholics.

My high school had International Week, where each day of the week was dedicated to a different race.

...because most of the world doesn't have one, either? You're extrapolating 1-5 Asian nations and thinking it's somehow common.

Next thing you'll be asking why America doesn't have its female high schoolers dress up in those sailor outfits.

It depends on the school. My family did a German and world bread and butter presentation for 5th grade.

We had a Greek food one in 6th. That one was setup by families. They just had to get permission from the principal.

I missed the Italian Cheese one we did in 7th. I went to military school instead. We didn't have shit in military school. The closest thing we had to culture was "Get on your fucking faces, scum." I was good at that. I could do push-ups forever back then.

I wish I would've stayed in military school. I would've been better off.

My high school foreign language department hosts a potluck, and it was amazing given cultural diversity among the students.

Disagree, however you'd be right in saying people do everything possible to delete American culture wherever possible

It's fair to say that american culture has spread across the world, so it seems like there's no culture because it's been exported out.

Hot dogs and hamburgers are the other two cultures.

If you want me to stop making crappy question threads you could just ask.

American culture is literally a combination of everyone else's culture. That's why they call it the Great Melting Pot.

Hay, Mr. Edgy Pants. There is "no real American culture" because the USA is still a young country. Give us a few hundred years and we'll be thriving.


For what? American food is pretty boring when you think about it.

Because I was giving an actual response to the question you asked in the topic title? Sure, it was a low-effort response, but it was honest.

Also, it's odd you'd focus on my post when multiple users in this topic have given you examples of their schools having culture festivals. Why not respond to them?

The US Educational system is pathetic and has been for quite some time and our so called educators knows it needs an overhaul but won't do it.

America decided decades ago to go all in in regards to college even when it was apparent that most students weren't college material.

Dunno about elementary schools, but there are local festivals that are all about multi-cultural stuff.

Yep. Crazy how the US has some of the best colleges in the world, yet has some of the worst lower education among "first world" countries.

Because you fall into the category of people he is desperate to admire him for some reason. Its really funny reading his responses in Jen topics. Dudes desperate for acknowledgment from certain users.

I'm getting some major deja vu right now. Did you make that same post in some other topic recently?
