Why I'm studying Lithuania schools #1

I'm studying Lithuanian schools because i know a little about both schools since i went to a Lithuanian school for four years and then went to american school.  Its very interesting to me to learn the differences between these two schools. I've learned many things that I didn't  know yet.

synthesis & plan

I've learned so far that Lithuanian schools are allot different than American schools. American schools are allot easier and the grading scale is way different from Lithuanian one.There are no school buses in Lithuania so the kids have to either walk to school on get dropped of by their parents to school. The school hours are allot different in Lithuania; school starts at 7a.m. and ends at 1p.m. unlike in america it starts at 8a.m. and ends at 3p.m.
#1 how come the education is much harder in Lithuania then in america?
#2 why aren't there in schools buses in Lithuania?
#3 why don't Lithuanian teachers use the same grading scale like in america ?

Lithuanian school are very different from my school in America that I go. First, in Lithuanian the teachers don't use letter grades such as A's,B's,C's,D's, and F's.  In Lithuanian schools the teachers use numbers 10 the highest grade that you can get and 1 the lowest which means you failed. There are pre-schools in Lithuania for kids and its up to the parents if the kids go to those preschools. After that the child must start 1st grade (its up to the parents what age they start either 6 or 7 years old.) From 1 st grade kids usually attend the same school until they're done with school. In Lithuania we didn't have school buses the kids either get dropped off by their parents or they would have to walk to school. School usually started at 7:30 in the morning and ended at 1 pm in Lithuania.  Lithuanian schools are way harder then American school because the teachers are more strict and the stuff you have to learn is more difficult then what you learn in American schools.  I personally like American school more then Lithuanian because the teachers are a lot nicer here and school is just easier. 

what makes society "just"

A ruler in society is responsibly for many things, but there are a couple of really important ones. He/She is mostly responsible for being fair to people. I think that people that are richer and get paid more should pay higher taxis then the people that are poor and don't get paid as much. The second really important thing that a ruler should be is right. He/She needs to be right by thinking about others and not just about himself or herself. Therefore I think a good leader should be fair and right.
