1. Most of the desks in primary and secondary schools in China are double-sized. We all have a deskmate. The teacher may change the position every few months to ensure fairness (mostly based on height, with smaller children sitting in the front row). , of course it will also look at test scores)
2. When I was in junior high school, I was in boarding school because the school was too far away from home. The school has a canteen and dormitories. My daughter is now in primary school. Although she is very close to home, she does not go home for lunch. Most students choose day care classes (privately run service agencies set up near the school to provide lunch, lunch break, and homework tutoring. There are also similar after-school care services for two-income families who get off work late).
