When you were in grade school, middle school and high school… how were they split up?
For example- when I was in grade school it was kindergarten to 6th grade and then middle school 7th to 8th was in the same school as the high schoolers.
Was middle school separate from the grade schoolers and high schoolers? And did you grow up in a small town, city or in between?
When I went to private school in a city, it was K-12.
Then when we moved to a small town,
I went to a regular high school, 9-12.
In my home town it was K - 5th grade Elementary
6th - 8th grade Middle School
9th grade - 12th grade High School
I used to teach K - 5th grade Elementary
I went to elementary school K thru 6. Then middle school just for grade 7, junior high 8 thru 9, and high school 10 thru 12. I grew up in a city, population now 198,000.
They changed middle school to 6 thru 7 when I went into the 7th grade. It used to be junior high 7 thru 9.
I went through a typical modern British system.
Nursery, followed by reception followed by primary and the secondary and sixth form/college.
Nursery is a year, reception is a year, primary is years1 to 6 and then secondary is years 7 to 11. Sixth form is two years (in my case three as I changed subjects). College would be the same, but I stayed with a sixth form.
A sixth form and college are both age 17-19 education in England. we call it college pre university and then university is university.
I grew up in Scotland. It’s system is like this:
Nursery (avg. 1-2yrs) > Primary School (7yrs) > Secondary School (4-6yrs. You can leave at 16 (your 4th year) to get a job or go to college)
Then there’s college which is like a bridge between high school and university if you don’t have the qualifications from school.
After that is university.
That’s interesting…
I never knew how the British or Scottish school system was set up
Are you from the usa?
I think our system is only in the commonwealth, whereas the rest of the world generally have an American style of doing things.
I’ve never really been made aware of the American systems either, all I knew was that there was grades for class years.
It’s interesting seeing how different places around the world choose to present education
Yes I live in the USA, went to public school in a small town.
But ah I gotcha, well thanks for sharing🙂
Yes it definitely is interesting!
I couldnt or wouldnt have got in university in usa from high school so i went to community college for 3 years and then went to university before dropping out from schizophrenia 1 year later. I never finished. Dont want to attend school again hence gotta be an electrician but if i want to be an engineer, i gotta get my degree from somewhere.
Kindergarden was good as well as preschool and even 1-4 grade. 5-12 sucked for me big time.
My life went downhill in 2010-2011 from schizophrenia at age 21-22. 9 years later things have improved.
I often wonder if im on the wrong planet, a clone, in a sim, and experienced transhumanism immortal consciousness transfer through spacetime and reimcarnation trillions of times, unfortumately. I think thats why i have these intense and bizarre delusions. That and im an alien abductee several times.
I feel like i lived billions of past lives in a time loop essentially.
Im too scared to attend college for unknown reasons to me…
I just want to make money really…
I was at primary (primaire 1-6) then secondary (secondaire 1-5). Then college 2yrs then 3yrs university. Here in Quebec you have to pass college before being able to apply for university.
We also have primary and secondary here in Canada, primary 1-6 but secondary is 1-5.
Ohhh weirdddd, yeah, here you can just go from high school to university if you have good enough grades to get in. If you don’t then I think you can go to community college and if you get good grades there, then you can go to university as well.
Yeah its the same for us, college or sixth form is when you get a BTEC or an Advanced Level. Both are the qualifications needed for universities
Yeah, secondary is for us years 7 to 11 (so it is also five years just like your system)
