Titolo: Homeroom

Trovo sull'American Heritage che "homeroom" č:
A school classroom to which a group of pupils of the same grade are 
required to report each day.
E non mi č chiarissimo. "My homeroom" č semplicemente "la mia classe", 
o no?

o no?
Non vorrei sparare stupidaggini, ma se non erro il sistema è a classi
tematiche, ovvero la classe di musica, quella di scienze, ecc.
Quindi la homeroom è la stanza dove quella determinata classe, intesa
come insieme di bambini dello stesso anno e sezione (se hanno le
sezioni), si riunisce prima di andare nelle varie classi a far
lezione.
Sto sparando assolutamente a caso.
Però il Webster dice:
a classroom where pupils report especially at the beginning of each
school day 
Sembrerebbe...

Homeroom
U.S.
(See quot. 1961.)
1915 Ann. Rep. Comm. Educ. 1914 (U.S. Office of Educ.) I. iii. 45
The regular or home-room teacher feels a definite responsibility for
the class wherever it may be.
1928 Bull. Nat. Assoc. Secondary-School Principals XIX. 16 The
foundations of all guidance within the school are found in the
homeroom organization. Efficiency in secondary school administration
is demanding that every teacher shall be a 'homeroom' teacher.

may be defined as a large number of one-room schools..gathered
together under one roof with a central office to facilitate their
proper functioning. Ibid., The home room is the unit of organization
of the school and is the center of the pupil's school activities.
1961 WEBSTER, Homeroom. 1. A schoolroom where pupils of the
same class or grade but often with different academic programs report
at the opening of school and meet informally under the guidance of a
teacher to conduct class business, plan and organize group activities,
and discuss individual and group problems. 2. A group of pupils
assigned to the same homeroom.
1966 BEREITER & ENGELMANN Teaching Disadvantaged

other rooms) a chalkboard.

 and discuss individual and group problems. 
Insomma se ho ben capito nella homeroom si fa l'appello, per esempio.

Fondamentalmente sě, a quanto ho capito. Tra un po' vado a lezione e
chiedo conferma al mio prof.

You are absolutely right.  A homeroom is a classroom where students of the same
grade report every day for about 15-20 minutes.  It can be at any time during
the day, but it's usually before or after first period.  The homeroom teacher 
takes roll, reads the daily  announcements, occasionally gives out notices to
be taken home to parents etc.  In American schools there is a lot of
extracurricular stuff that needs to be discussed: club meetings, cheerleading
tryouts. field trips, etc.  All that is discussed in the homeroom.

It's also where they make you stand up and pledge allegiance 
to the flag, and if you don't want to, then the prick 
running the class can single you out as some sort of 
ungrateful moron who doesn't deserve to live in America. 
Then she/he will go on and on about the freedoms Americans 
have.  All except the freedom from having to pledge 
allegiance I guess.  And when we have a cowboy running the 
country like we do today, it's exactly when we need that one 
extra freedom.
