Europe: "Here's what we think of America!"
America: "That's funny. We don't think about you at all."
Europe: "You always have guns in hand."
America: "Because your hands are always up in the air."

Yes, all of these exist, but every school is different. For example, some schools are outdoors and some indoors (halls and lockers), not every high school has a pool or a cafeteria or require hall passes, yes cheerleaders exist and are mostly comprised of the popular girls (not necessarily stuck up, but sometimes), rows of lockers are real, horrid food is real at public school, excessive dances is a regional thing that’s more common in certain areas.

#12. Only Americans spell metre meter. A meter is a measuring device, as in speed-o-meter or electricity meter.

What so many Europeans don't understand about America, whether talking about education or anything else, is that there are 50 states in the USA. Each state is sovereign and there is no set national standard for many things. For education, although there is a U.S. Department of Education, each one of those states has its own Department of Education that sets most of the standards and no two are exactly alike. In addition, in each of these states there are several school districts (or something similar) who make their own standards as well. Rules, lunches, start times, holidays, snow days, what time of year school starts or ends or even being year round, etc, etc.is all decided on a much more regional or local level. for example. if you see a picture of a school lunch, keep in mind that a thousand different school lunches were served around the country that were completely different, some much better and some likely worse. It is this way with many things in America.
