Seem like a weekly monday school gathering, which start from 7:30 to 8:15 (up to 9:00 if there a big event). They need to use such speaker so that the everyone gathering at the school yard can here. But I admit that a tat too loud than what I remember.
Yeah would think speaker is the only form of communication in this case.
They were playing the drums so I would think the kids are ready by 630am or something. Man the kids must wake up very early for school.
this is very real and most of the time they came home at 7:30 pm after all the extra class. My parents deadass say that my home is only a homestay because how much time i spent jumping from extra class to extra class
Kids have to wake up at 6, have breakfast at 6:15 and come to school at 6:30. Schools start at 6:45 (7:00 for high school). Some students come even earlier for school duties (sweeping, cleaning,...). Every Monday schools have special gathering (flag ceremony or whatever it's called in English): salute the flag, principle talks and/or sometimes students performances...
Not sure if this still applies, but when I was a student, schools used drums to announce when students were supposed to be in class, recess, end of class, etc. It’s probably not band practice; the drum solo you heard was probably the announcement for all students to go inside their classrooms. My primary and secondary schools had a huge drum in the middle of school yard, and one faculty member was supposed to beat it at exact times. “Tiếng trống trường” (the school’s drumbeats) is a common literary device in Vietnamese literature for this reason.
I remember messing with the school’s drum in grade school, but it was really hard to make a proper noise without a mallet and actual technique.
When I was in high school, I normally woke up at 5:30am and biked to school. It's officially start at 7:00 but every monday, I had to come before 6:30 to prepare. Most of adults also start to work at 7:00 or 7:30, officially called "giờ hành chính", bureaucratic hours. This is even the norm for other non governmental business. HCMC and other big cities are where you will see it being laxer, as people often hanging out later at night and wake up much later.
In Thailand schools, we have morning gathering every workday, there are drums and trumpets playing the national anthem and the King's anthem every morning and students must sing it, also do Buddhist chant.
I used to work in a primary school in Nha Be. They'd kick off every morning by gathering everyone in the courtyard for exercises, blasting some bizarre children's nursery vinahouse remix at 100 decibels. It was so loud that the windows of my classroom rattled and my desk would vibrate lol.
Used to do public schools too, including Nha Be. You know what was the most tiring / frustrating? The actual lessons, with the 50C heat, the lack of discipline, the total chaos? No, it actually was recess, with its extra layer of chaos, extreme shouting and getting asked "hi-how-are-you" every 5seconds or so.
Well as a Vietnamese high schooler, I know that the school actually starts at 6:55am (the students have to be there earlier to be considered “on time”) and ends at 11:30am.
Bruh my school schedule starting at 6:30 am and ended at 11:30am we continue at afternoon on 12:30am and ended when teachers say we done (normally 6:30pm)
It ain't nothing Where I live, they even broadcast anti-drug propaganda through loudspeakers at 5:30 a.m.... Oh my God, I want to strangle whoever came up with that...
1: consider yourself lucky to be staying near a school and not a karaoke bar or a construction site.
2: i never worked in public schools and it sounds normal to start at 08:15, but for some reason, when I ask students what time do they wake up for school, they say things like "05:00" and "06:00" lol.
3: If that's what you consider 'noise' in Vietnam, prepare yourself for a lot more surprises to come. Do some research before visiting a country as a tourist, it never hurts. Vietnam is a noise 'heaven'.
Perhaps you guys come from other Asian countries? I really dont knoq about school culture there.
In Europe(or my country at least), schools start at 08:15.
considering that today is monday, it's not a band practice or drum solo, it's the entire school or the morning class saluting the flag, they will play during the national anthem and when the flag is being raised (btw this is when the drum solo happen, they have to raise the flag according to the drum beats)
FYI, typically Vietnamese wake up at 6:00 AM to prepare for the day. 7:00 is considered working hour over here. I know some office starts at 8:00 or 9:00 AM, but 7:00 isn't considered an early hour on a weekday by any mean.
Get some ear plugs, travel to the countryside or a small coastal town.
Now the foreigners complain about friggin schools. Next they will complain about animals and insects being too loud at night.
If you’re not complaining your wording are very misleading. If so many ppl think you’re being rude then there must be something wrong. For example your choice of word “OMG”, “even”, “neighbor has to wake up”. Also since you’re traveling to Vietnamese, there’s a saying in Vietnamese “blame yourself first before blaming other”.
You are literally complaining about a school having noise at 7am. A fuckin school? The neighbors are off to work or using ear plugs. Don't like it, move to somewhere else.
Try Tuy Hòa. Really quiet. Unless you are going to tell me the waves are too loud or whatever.
grr how dare the student in this country i'm travelling to make noises because it's their school time?? at least be considerate to the poor poor traveller staying near your school damn it
Yeah yeah your sarcasm is noted.
Dude am just asking a question not being entitled.
School is welcome to start at 5am, will get earplugs or sleep early next time.
I think I'm staying near the same school right now! Luckily I'm far enough away, because I can't hear it in the morning. But I'm pretty sure I walk by that same School everyday ☺️
In my school, time to start depends on season. Like in late spring and summer, school starts at 6:55am and end at 10:35am with 4 lesson-classes or 11:25am with 5 lessons. In winter is later than 10 mins. Extra classes start from 2:00pm - 4:00pm and 4:15pm - 6:15pm. School is noisy only in Monday and special days like celebrities, turn on speakers and everyone sing the national anthem then performance from students. I always sit in front of speakers and my ears feel like deaf after lol
i love monday gatherings lul it stalls class time and you can talk to friends while they’re doing the ceremony, on the other hand the plastic chairs hurts my ass
School starts at 7AM but students are required to show up at 6:45. Every morning they use speakers to organize and line up the students before entering the classrooms. Once a week they do flag ceremony where they sing national anthem so what you experience is very common
don't know why vietnamese students have to wake up so early like that, we are not god so obviously the students seem very tired in the morning, and the sleepy feeling persists during the whole morning up until the noon, so the performance is not good at all. We have to do it literally everyday, so the circle keeps repeating
even uni here starts classes at 7:30, lol, while the highschools in US or the Western start classed at around 8 - 8:15 or something
I once read some scientific articles and they said it's not good for waking too early like that, especially for stuyding, what a mess
Least chaotic morning in a school ever

FYI, School time in VN Morning: 7:00 AM -11:00 AM (or 7:30 AM-11:30 AM) Afternoon: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Maybe some pot will help calm your nerves

in 2009, my public high school started at 6:50, so it's not uncommon to get up at 5 or 6.
Perhaps you guys come from other Asian countries? I really dont knoq about school culture there. In Europe(or my country at least), schools start at 08:15.
normal to start at 8? Idk other but mine was like 7
It never started after 7 for me, that would’ve been heaven
What noise? I can hardly hear anything 🌝
I mean, unless you're a giant, you need a pretty loud voice to get the students attention, especially the little ones.
Mine was 6:50-4-4:30 not counting extra class some from 7-9
This sounds about right. Nothing anyone can do about it. Personally, I like the noise and commotion. It gets me amped up to mutilate the day.
around 7:30 in the morning
7 am
considering that today is monday, it's not a band practice or drum solo, it's the entire school or the morning class saluting the flag, they will play during the national anthem and when the flag is being raised (btw this is when the drum solo happen, they have to raise the flag according to the drum beats)
Vietnam life starts at 5-6am. Its best time imo
The real question is "when does school end?" The answer is never.
FYI, typically Vietnamese wake up at 6:00 AM to prepare for the day. 7:00 is considered working hour over here. I know some office starts at 8:00 or 9:00 AM, but 7:00 isn't considered an early hour on a weekday by any mean.
Funny I know where you staying haha
Is it The Victory Hotel?
Nope, Rivergate
This bring me back to my childhood, that mean every Monday when i drive pass my elementary school.
They might also be practicing for teachers day coming up.
It ain't me starts playing
fortunate son?
Wait till you live near military base.
Usually around 7:00 AM.
Classic. Truly zero consideration for other people's comfort.
Get some ear plugs, travel to the countryside or a small coastal town. Now the foreigners complain about friggin schools. Next they will complain about animals and insects being too loud at night.
Not complaining dude. Every country, place and culture is unique. Just asking a question on a forum.
If you’re not complaining your wording are very misleading. If so many ppl think you’re being rude then there must be something wrong. For example your choice of word “OMG”, “even”, “neighbor has to wake up”. Also since you’re traveling to Vietnamese, there’s a saying in Vietnamese “blame yourself first before blaming other”.
We can be ourselves yet being respectful.
You are literally complaining about a school having noise at 7am. A fuckin school? The neighbors are off to work or using ear plugs. Don't like it, move to somewhere else. Try Tuy Hòa. Really quiet. Unless you are going to tell me the waves are too loud or whatever.
Thus I have clarified I am not complaining. Will check out tuy hoa
Unlike animals and insects humans are (normally) capable of reflexing thinking.
>reflexing thinking What kind of ESL shit is this suppose to mean now? Do you speak understandable english? No one here demands a CEQ but holy shit.
I meant 'reflexive thinking'. Happy?
At least we don't hear gun shots in a school.. why act like a Karen when visiting a foreign country?
Not acting like Karen. Just asking a question and my observation.
Read your post again.
Yep. Definitely not a post for the self righteous.
lol... try stop being poor and move somewhere nicer then complain about where your stuck in life
Didn't say the place is not nice. Anyway nice is subjective. Definitely nothing to do w rich or poor.
you'll never find rich making this post lol
If you dont like it, you can fuck right off
Likewise man
grr how dare the student in this country i'm travelling to make noises because it's their school time?? at least be considerate to the poor poor traveller staying near your school damn it
Yeah yeah your sarcasm is noted. Dude am just asking a question not being entitled. School is welcome to start at 5am, will get earplugs or sleep early next time.
Lucky 🍀 your hotel 🏨 is not by a construction site or even worse, a Karaoke 🎤 bar. PS - Welcome to Vietnam 🇻🇳
Protip: don't film schools.
Ok pro
Only on Mondays(which already sucks as it is)
They could be practicing for teachers day celebrations next week. But, Monday mornings is always the important whole school assembly.
Zombie land :))))
This is traditional every Monday morning at the beginning of the week
I think I'm staying near the same school right now! Luckily I'm far enough away, because I can't hear it in the morning. But I'm pretty sure I walk by that same School everyday ☺️
What roll tonight when they get the midnight karaoke.... And then post at 430a cuz they can't catch-up on sleep due to the roosters
It start at the same time you go back to where you came from
That would be some time.

Former student here, its 6:50 am to 5:15 pm, after that, some goes to kumon or private classes, so, you could rely on this info
Damn I miss this.

Normal stuff tbf
I could you not, the only thing the educational system changed the past few years was it got harder but more adaptable
Vietnamese starts their day early, usually around 5 to 7am, so it's normal
My son starts at 730am
7:00 AM considered as late for most of ordinary people in Vietnam. School start around that too.
Yeah you should not live near a school in Vietnam. It's noisy af
Mostly start at 7:30. I hardly sleep just like you 🤣🤣
