[2 quid is good 2,209]

Oh

[ScaryWalrus 0]

but yeah we have 12 grades

[Inçendyne 31]

They also categorized them by other identifiers like primary and secondary.

[ScaryWalrus 0]

well

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Nah we finish school at 16

[ScaryWalrus 0]

13 technically

[Inçendyne 31]

One year earlier then

[ScaryWalrus 0]

Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior

The US is weird, as standard

[2 quid is good 2,209]

? We have 12 "grades" too then

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Truer words never spoken

[Inçendyne 31]

College would start the year a person would turn their adult age or already is one if they had to start later.

[Inçendyne 31]

I think it's considered post-secondary as well.

[2 quid is good 2,209]

You know one thing America does have right is starting school later

[2 quid is good 2,209]

I dunno, I don't think 4 years old is a great starting slot

Like, you have kids like me or my sister who have only been 4 for a couple months

[ScaryWalrus 0]

i think it makes enough sense,
like... idk. kids absorb info more

[Inçendyne 31]

B/c some have Pre-K, which isn't often mandatory if there was enough teaching beforehand like at home.

[2 quid is good 2,209]

And you're suddenly made to wear uniform and do a lot more formal learning

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Well, maybe in that sense

[2 quid is good 2,209]

But not in the way we do it

[2 quid is good 2,209]

There's way too much testing involved

[ScaryWalrus 0]

i think thats a general issue with schooling

[Inçendyne 31]

I had to wear dress clothes when I entered the grades in Elementary School when I lived in Brooklyn. After that is when it's not mandatory unless one goes to a private school.
