Re: Random Friendly Messages Episode X

British weirdness. 12 year old is when we're in our first year of high school, 18 is the last.

Dutch system is the same
When following the highest level of education, that is.
and it's 12 to 19 if you happen to have to double a class, but you'd have to be stupid to do that
like me

Well, it's an advantage, as our middle school age children are getting high school education.

But the asshole older people are a biiiiiiiiiiig disadvantage.

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig.

One time, a bunch of kids were trying to take a picture of me whilst I was changing in the toilets.

Funnily enough, I was fully dressed and all they got was a pissed Jordan and a middle finger >:eek:

That is finished. It stahped!

Yay! :D

Can you stop at age 12 over there? Greek legislation requires middle school to be completed, ie 14 to 15.

No, we just go primary/elementary -> secondary/high.

First -> Fourth Years (12-16) are mandatory.

Fifth > Sixth Year (17-18) are optional.

Probably because we're getting higher education, but more stress.

So we're all equal.

I see, Jordan. I am not sure if those are doubleposts or just the auto-reload messing with me.

You have to stay in school till you're 18 here
When you're twelve, you finish elementary school and move on to middle school (this translation is closest to the Dutch term)
After middle school, you go find a job (very little people do this) or go to a different school
there are two kinds of further education: higher education (college or university) or lower education (I can't think of a better translation, unfortunately)

Makes sense, makes sense.
Over here, after middle school, you can pick between two high schools or not to attend any. The first can get you to both upper and lower further education, while the second can get you to lower education or some other kinds of crafting schools.
I can't explain it well.

Enzap is chilling.

I think in the US, it's preferable to get a high school diploma, but some people might drop out of school due to issues (family, financial, etc) or try to get out of high school early by taking a GEP test or take college courses to get ahead and graduate high school early (I don't know if you can still do that where I live, but I do know you can graduate high school as a junior if you meet all the requirements or a semester early though).

More and more people are going to college for a better opportunity to get a job though.

Yes, despite the fact that high school is optional when it comes to legislation, everyone tries to finish it and get a diploma, because it is more or less totally needed to get a decent job.

Re: Random Friendly Messages Episode X

Russian system of education doesn't really correlate with age.
Which is why I... well, you all already know where do I study and how old I am.

I sometimes get hiccups if I laugh a lot. I get rid of them by drinking water and pinching my nose.

To get rid of the hiccups, hold some water in your mouth, spread your arms out and make them parallel to the ground, and swallow.
