Schulalltag vs Alltag
everyday life
'der Alltag' and 'der Schulalltag' both describe normal, recurring routines. 'der Alltag' means daily life in general, meaning everything that happens regularly. 'der Schulalltag' is more specific and refers only to the routine at school, for example lessons, breaks, homework, and tests. Learners may confuse the words because school is part of everyday life for children and teenagers. When you are talking only about school, 'Schulalltag' is more precise. When you mean normal life as a whole, use 'Alltag'.
