Life Style
Kids in middle-class and wealthy families usually have a housekeeper, so they have few, if any, household chores. In other families, girls older than age eight help clean the house, wash dishes, cook dinner, and look after younger siblings. Many children live in small rural (countryside) villages. They might not go to school for more than a few years because they are needed to work at home. Many city children live in very poor areas, called favelas (slums), where they don’t have good schools, safe streets, or healthy food. These children often must work to help support their families.

Education
Brazilian kids between the ages of seven and fourteen are required to go to school Monday through Friday; however, they go either in the morning or in the afternoon (not both) and usually eat lunch at home. Most students wear uniforms until high school. They study history, geography, Portuguese, English, art, math, and science. Many Brazilians excel in math and science because these subjects are emphasized in many schools. Vacation is spread out: July, December, and January are vacation months.
