=) Ive already been back to school last week, August 13th. Hey Liam, you are a freshman in high school this year, right? good luck this year !

Ive got a big family project from my english class on the first day, and here come the quizzes and all kinda of school crap. Just finished this big first week of school. *sigh

[læmænt]

I have a chance of getting accepted into university in January, and basically doing nothing in the remainder of the year... but I have to, um, study, to do that. Fuck :)

[Liam]

Hey Liam, you are a freshman in high school this year, right? good luck this year !

No. I'm going into eighth grade. I'm old enough to be a freshman, but I was entered into school earlier/later/whatever it is.

[Lüt]

Strangely similar to what goes on in the forums...

[Zaldron]

Weird, you're right. The question is...what happens when you end your time here? Look for a job?

[Peter Heinemann]

Oh, I would gladly understand the us school system. Is College the same as University? What exactly is a Highschool? Translated in german, Highschool means "Hochschule", which means "University" here. And a "Student" in Germany goes to either "Fachhochschule, which means something like "University of applied Science" or "University" (which has a higher status than a "Fachhochschule").
My classes at "Fachhochschule" (University of applied Science) beginns September, 27th. :)

[Captain Skippy]

[Lüt]

Oh, I would gladly understand the us school system.

Heh, I remember studying the German school system in German class; that thing is b0rked :)

In the US, it pretty much goes like this:

Elementary School: year 1-5
Junior High/Middle School: Year 6-8
High School: Year 9-12
College: Year 13 on up, however long you want to stay. Degrees are usually offered in 2, 4, 6 or 10-year curriculums.

On rare occasions, Elementary School will extent to year 6, leaving Jr. High with years 7-8. There are pre-school "classes" too, but they're not a requirement.

[InfraRed]

Ours in Canada is a bit different...
elementary school- kindergarten to Gr.8
High School- Gr.9 to Gr.13
University- ne thing higher

[Zaldron]

University- ne thing higher

HOLY SHIT. CAN'T YOU BE A LITTLE MORE LAZY?

[Lüt]

University- ne thing higher

HOLY SHIT. CAN'T YOU BE A LITTLE MORE LAZY?

Hey he put the "gh" in higher, let him be.

[Zeratul 982]

Elem: K-6
Jr. High: 7-8
High: 9-12

[Peter Heinemann]

But what is the difference between College and University in the USA? Is it the same? Is College less than University?

[Lüt]

Colleges are Universities.

[999cop]

rofl, nice avator, lut!

[ManOnAMission02]

well, colleges and universities are different... You have your community colleges, small time places...A university is more big time, like if your going into a major profession like Medical School, or Law School etc..

[skadoomer]

Elem: K-6
Jr. High: 7-8
High: 9-12

around us jr. high is 6-8, but then again long island is a little weird. Must be something in the water...

No. I'm going into eighth grade. I'm old enough to be a freshman, but I was entered into school earlier/later/whatever it is.

w00t same here. It sucks being in school with people that have the iq of mashed potatoes.

[DiSTuRBeD]
