I have a question! 질문이 있어요!

Is the school bell in episode 1 a common school bell in Korea? 에피소드 1에 나오는 학교 종은 한국에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 학교 종인가요? I learned today it is called "Westminster Chimes." 오늘 “웨스트민스터 차임”이라는 것을 알게 되었습니다.

I'm in the USA, and I've only heard it from church bell towers. After it plays, a number of gongs count the hour. 저는 미국에 있는데 교회 종탑에서만 이 종소리를 들어본 적이 있어요. 종소리가 울리면 여러 개의 징이 시간을 카운트합니다.

Don’t you hate the double standards placed on school bells? If one hears the first bell, all students are expected to comply with the known fact that the bell means the start of class, and students must begin their work immediately. However if one hears the final bell, students are supposed to comply with the known fact that this bell does not dismiss you, the teachers do, and to worsen matters, teachers freely decide whether or not the should validate the bell’s purpose depending on the day.

Every so often the library worked hard to collect a bunch of books to donate to the local school.  About a month previous they brought a new box for donations and now it was completely full.  The librarian and Woohyun sat together and sorted through the age groups for the books.  They spoke about what each grade had to learn and decided that the kitten should probably go to the little kids classes.  He learned it was called kindergarten.  His insides were bubbling with excitement to see little human kids and to go into a real school.  He had never entered a real school before.  There was a first for everything, and despite his excitement he was also a little bit nervous to find out what he missed all these years. 

“Alright, sweet kitten.  It’s time for us to go.  Remember to stay close and memorize your way home.  I know you’ll want to play once you get there so don’t be afraid to do so, okay?  I will tell them it’s alright to let you play.”  The old man told Woohyun.  “Now pick up your books and follow me.”  The kitten obediently picked up his box of books for little learning readers, ones he could barely read himself, and began to follow the librarian outside.  It was in the afternoon, so the school day would be over soon, they wanted to get there just in time.  He followed his elder, tail swaying back and forth.  His deep brown eyes examined every turn they made so he could make his way back to the library easily.

Then they arrived at the school.  He gazed in awe at the building as he padded up the steps into the school.  There was a dull murmur of childrens voices throughout the halls.  They checked in with the office, the librarian talking under his breath to the secretary.  Woohyun knew he was talking about him, so he just looked down and pretended he didn’t know.  Once they were ready the librarian led him to the classroom he was supposed to enter.  He looked through the window with widened eyes.  “So many little humans...”  He spoke softly before he opened the door and stepped in, leaving his elder behind him.  All little eyes were on him and it didn’t take long for them to be oohing and awwing over his ears and tail as he padded to the desk where a handsome teacher was.

“H-Hello.  I am bringing you books from the library donations for your class.”  Woohyun smiled shyly then he felt a little touch on his tail and he mewled.  He nearly jumped out of his skin, scurrying to the side of the desk as he stared at the children surrounding him.  “O-Oh..  Hello.”  He said quietly to the little faces before he looked sheepishly back at the teacher, hoping he would tell him what to do or how to handle this situation.

It's Saturday, yet I still find myself looking at the time for the 3:35 bell to end school. Sighs.

School Bell Mischief

Mister Fabulous, of MetaFilter, wreaks havoc on his school with an excellent prank.

During my senior year of high school our school was under construction. The 1950's building was under a major overhaul. During a choir concert, we used the currently-being-remodeled office as a room to change clothes in. I noticed that there was a new fancy electronic box on the wall with a keyring and 3 keys hanging off of it. I opened the box and deduced quickly that it looked like some sort of scheduling system. Maybe a fire alarm or security system. I pulled one of the keys off of it and took down the model number for future use. Later on I found the key and the number, and did a lookup on the internets and found that the box was the new bell system which played over the schools PA. The old system (consisting of actual bells) was out of commission and I knew they would be activating the new one soon. I grabbed the manual and started teaching myself all of the menus and default passwords to the point that I was confident I could do some reprogramming provided I gained access. One afternoon, after track practice I wandered through the school and found that indeed the opportunity was there, so I went for it.

Donned my gloves, wandered into the office and found it deserted. My previously stolen key popped it open, and sure enough, they left the default password. I proceeded to get to work on making my own bell schedule. After I was done, I changed the password, closed the door, broke the key off in the lock, and went home. The next morning I arrived to school a hair on the early side as to make sure I'd get to enjoy it. 7:50am the first bell rang, indicating 5 minutes until class started. I went to my first hour class and took my seat. 7:55am the second bell rang to indicate school has begun. The announcements began around 7:56. At 8:00am, the bells interrupted the announcements. Everyone looked around. "That's strange." 8:05am, the bells went off again, and the giggling began. 8:10am. 8:15am. 8:20am. Every five minutes there was an uproar of giggling going up and down the hallways. By 11:00am my plan was truly realized, as no one thought it was funny anymore. This was the toughest part of the day for me as I was really enjoying the suffering. I walked by the office during my lunch to see that the principal and technician were still trying to wrangle out the broken key. I knew that they still hadn't gotten to the changed password, and that the reset was difficult to do without the password. It wasn't until 1:30pm that they finally managed to shut the bells off.

A school bell is used to tell teachers and students about the class timings and break timings. The bell rings to signal that it is time to change classes. There are mainly two types of bells available in the market, the manual bell systems and the electronic bell systems. An automatic electronic bell system is a basic hardware, which stores class schedules. It rings when a period gets over.
