I like it. And unlike most other South Park drawings I've seen, they actually look like children. Awesome job!
What does it say on the desks? I took a little bit of Russian last summer, but I don't really speak it. I was able to make out the word "Cartman," though.

Oh! First of all, thank you!
Speaking about written stuff - it's "Cartman's sucker", just the kind of abusing word, but not extremely rude. I am not very good in English to find the closest analogue. It's read like "loh".
And the second one is "4th B rules", where 4th is the number of the school year and B is the letter marking classes inside the parallel. I learned in B-class and supposed it would be nice for SP kids to do the same 
What about all these markings in the USA? Altough I've read a lot about it, I am still not sure how it works. I've hear you have primary and elementary school and I'm really interested to know more!

Okay that makes sense. My elementary school had a similar system of classes A, B, and C in every grade to keep track of the students.
Typically in the United States, primary and elementary schools are different words for the same thing. I think in the UK it is more common to call it primary school and in the US it's elementary school. I could be wrong, so please do not quote me on that.
After elementary school (which consists of kindergarten and then 1st through 8th grade, moving up a grade every year), students move on to high school when they are about fourteen years old. The last 3 years or so of elementary school - so 6th, 7th, and 8th grade - are often referred to as middle school because the children are in the middle of their education. At this point, students typically start getting more classes and start working with a schedule that parallels what they will be given in high school. Middle school (although sometimes held in a different building) is still technically part of the elementary school system but Americans like to make things more complicated than they actually are by giving things needless titles. To make matters even more confusing, not all schools start middle school during 6th grade. Mine started in 5th grade because...damn you, logic, this is America!
Students generally stay in high school for 4 years and then go to college if they so choose, and many do.
There are schools for children who are younger than 5, so it's possible that some people call those schools primary school. I think I've heard the term used before.
At my high school that I'm attending now, we also have a system that separates classes using the first three letters of the alphabet but unlike my elementary school, the letters actually mean something and act as a rank for how high your level is.
So hopefully this helped clear matters up a bit. I don't know how well I explained things, but I tried to be a thorough as possible. If you have any more questions feel free to ask me.

Thank you very much for this description! It seems more clear now, especially about lasts grades of elementary school. Now I memorize it.
I had similar weird situation, jumping over the 4th grade, bacause when I was kid, lots of schools practiced that. 1-3 and then 5. I just don't know why. And the last grade was 11th.
Okay, then may I ask you a couple of qustions? Or maybe couple of couples?
And I am very interested in your marks. Sometimes I noticed A, B, C and D marks and sometimes it was like percents, up to 100. What do you have? Speaking about us, it's numeration from 1 to 5, where 5 is the biggest mark. It is funny that teachers don't use mark 1, or maybe veeeery rarely to emphasize your work is hopeless.
Wow, I remember what I wanted to ask so bad! Diaries or progress journal... well, this - i68.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0822/7… I heard it's not used in USA and Europe, but then how do you remember what to do in your homework?
How long are your lessons? In Russia it's 45 minutes and breaks between the lessons last about 10-15 minutes. It's about 5-7 lessons a day in our middle school. How about you?
Oh my, I should stop. I don't want to bother you but so many facts are seem amazing. If you have some questions about Russia, you can ask, too!

I don't mind you asking so many questions. I'm learning a lot too. I like this. We're sort of like pen pals!
Skipping grades is a little less common in the schools I've been to unless a child is extremely gifted. I think it varies from place to place.
Grading in the United States is...weird. On papers and tests, typically a percentage will add up to a number grade that is represented by a letter. Sometimes teachers will mark papers with just a number or just a letter, but people can infer one from the other. It goes something like this:
90-100%=A
80-89%=B
70-79%=C
60-69%
50% or below=F
(The letter E comes between D and F in the alphabet, but for some reason there is no grade letter E)
At my school we do have progress journals, we just call them assignment notebooks. I think they're pretty standard at most schools in the United States and I would imagine in Europe too.
Generally in elementary schools students can't choose their own schedules and even in high schools the choices are limited. Some high schools have more class options than others. The school day might have some classes on some days and others on different days, this system is called a block schedule. My school does not do this, even though I think it makes more sense because as a result each of our classes is only 39 minutes, which is extremely short for American schools. In schools with block schedules, students generally will have classes between 45-50 minutes. Sometimes we have double periods, which means we have two of the same class right after each other. Double periods typically occur in classes like chemistry if we need to do an experiment or something. We also do not have a standard time for breaks.
Because everyone in high school gets different schedules, students take breaks during what we call "free periods" which are just gaps of time when a student does not have any of their classes. The problem with that system of course is that many kids who are friends with different schedules don't have free periods that overlap with each other. Some schools have "study hall" which is kind of like a communal free period that everybody gets at the same time of day. At my school, we have 10 periods in a day. A period is a slot time for a class if that wasn't already clear.
In elementary school pretty much everybody takes the same classes with one or two teachers who teach them everything from science to math to language and the kids stay in the same room all day. Students really only get multiple classes with different teachers when they get to middle school. In the later years of elementary school, (7th and 8th grade-ish) some places will put the students who learn faster in a special class. If a kid is really smart in a particular subject (usually math) he or she might take that particular class with the kids in the grade above him.
Hopefully that answers everything. If you have anymore questions, need clarifications, or I missed anything, be sure to let me know. You seem to speak (or at least write) English pretty well but if anything I said was unclear, feel free to tell me.
Out of curiosity, how long are Russian school days? My school goes from 8:00 in the morning to 5:39 but most schools end around 4:00.

Hi!
I am sorry for so long silence! I had some hardnesses with my job and health.
Thank you very much for your answer. I think now I understand the ranking system with percentage and alphabet. Sure! I had the same in univercity. We called it “credit based modular system”, which was applied for easier way to study abroad… and kind of innovations.
It’s funny fact about “E” letter
Same thing about elemenatary school and one teacher for all classes. From 1st to 3rd (or 4th, I’ve heard it’s popular now to return 4th grade) grade students have one teacher for math, literature, Russian and other general classes. There are exceptions, usually wuth teachers of different languages, Art, physical eduction, music and technology (where children are learning to sew and made appliques, for example). Starting the 5th grade students get different teachers for every subject and kind of tutor who managing their studing. He or she is usually a teacher of one subject. I had a history teacher as a tutor.
I am impressed how long are your school days. Very long, I mean!
We start at 8.30. It varies in some schools, I think, but this is a standart time. Elementary students don’t have more than 5 lessons a day (45 minutes each), which end around 1.00 PM, and elder students feel pain when they have 7 lessons – it is considered as pretty tight. I don’t remember any of day I have to finish at 4.00… but I can’t say about everybody, may be it’s not a rarity for some schools.
