Here's how it is (or at least was when I was a pupil)
in the UK.
Primary school (age 5 to 11) you were in one class for
the whole day. The teacher took a register first thing
in the morning, and possibly after lunch too.
Secondary (age 11 to 16 or 18) each pupil had a
"form", and a "form tutor". First thing each morning
you would go to your "form room" for registration,
general announcements, etc. This sounds a lot like the
US 'home room' period you talk about. I don't recall
registers being taken in the individual classes
throughout the day.
I left primary school in 1990, and secondary school in
1997, so it's possible things have changed a little...
Hope that helps,
Jim
