Hmmmm you guys call years 11 and 12 of your education college? What do you call years 13-16?

5-11= Primary School
11-16=Secondary School
16-18= Sixth form college
18- whenever= University
Most counties have sixth form added onto secondary school but in the county i live in there are no state secondary schools with sixth forms, so everyone goes to sixth form colleges. And no-one calls university college here.

u look so pretty darlin!
our homecoming is this weekend... im wicked excited since its my last year!

Woah!
So how old are you when you start school? We start grade school (1 -8) around age 6-7 and finish college around 21 or 22. After 16 years of education most people here are done unless they go on to graduate level education.
Do most people over there finish after "secondary school"? What is caimbridge called? A university?

You look so pretty! I still have another year before I'm capable of going to dances. We have mixers, but they're . . . Noblynamin. They're always boring and they never go passed 10:30.
You all look gorgeous!

thank ya. and yeah, dances are waaaay better than mixers, believe me. *thinks of past mixers*
ahhh, bad images!
i really hated those things...
but anyways...
our homecoming only went till 11. so it was ok, but i think it should have gone on longer.

what is a mixer?
and i prefer 10:30 rather then 12:30...I get tired.

a mixer is like a dance for junior high students i guess you'd say. ours is held in a local church's gym. and some of the kids aren't really grown up so they act kind of imature, so i never really liked them...
but yeah, there's a live dj, and it gets super crowded, and it's really like packing a bunch of teens in a gym and calling it a dance basically. lol. i hated it, some people like them, but i never liked ours...

Errm you are actually 4 when you start school, however i entered at 5- because that was before the law had been changed.
It is hard to tell whether most people finish school after secondary school. Secondary school certainly is the end of compulsory education- however, nearly everyone i know and am aware of goes at least onto sixth form college to complete A-levels (the exams needed to go to uni) and then onto university.
You certainly won't get very far with GCSEs (the exams i just completed, when you leave secondary school- the ones needed to advance to sixth form)- unless you want to be a shop assistant, work in a supermarket etc- or to have a vocational job you need an apprentiship or something of the sort. But the truth is you won't get very far without completing sixth form college, even if you don't want to go to university.
However, i do live in a very middle/upper class area of England and indeed the county i live in. In the north i'm sure a lot of people would finish at 16- maybe that is a bit stereotypical though.
Cambridge is a university, as is Oxford- and what you call 'college'.

A MIXER IS . . .
Well, for starters it's called a mixer 'cause anyone in (for us) 7, 8, or 9 grade from any school can come. So all different people from different schools mix. MIX!
And yeah, there's a DJ, etc. Kind of like a casual danceee. Kind of. Except not as organized. But, yeah . . .

Ok. It makes sense now. You guys just formalize what we call preschool and kindergarden.
i thought maybe you started around the same time as us but were in school a lot longer.

those are the kinds of dances we have too. no one dresses up fancy except for 'The Snowball' 'The Spring Fling' and Prom. Except that now the dances are lame, so i don't go. But when i was a freshman, oh man, those dances were the coolest.

I went to a catholic school in KY so I fondly remember mixers. They really were silly because 90% of the time the boys ended up on one side and the girls on the other and everyon stayed in their same cliques that they were in all day at school.
If you were "going steady" with a girl then you had to pay attention to her for a WHILE, but then you went right back to your buddies
hu. Sounds like like being married :wink:
