but most school buildings are taller, at least three storeys.
lockers for every student there are rows of lockers by the classrooms for students to put their stationary, books, exercise-books and other belongings. students bring what they need for lessons to school and then take it all back home after school. most schools in china do not have equipment in the classroom.
fewer students in each class there are fewer students in a class, no more than 30 per class. there are usually more students in high school, perhaps 40 to 50 per class. recently some school are beginning to limit the number of students in each class.
