Although it's pretty dumb because either you take English as main secondary and later Spanish as "secondary" secondary, or you take German as main and English as "secondary". In the latter case they obviously retain their German better than I did my Spanish, and they'll know their English too because practice. ... oh, right. Already can't remember how they do school in Belgium, have fun with UK/US/Canada. You guys start in elementary/primary school, which you call grade school (Xth grader and all that) till ~11, then it's high school (junior: 12-14, senior: 15-18), then it's the end of the mandatory school system but a bunch of people go to college, is that right? English started getting taught to kids in primary school a few years ago in France, I don't know how effective it is because only kids I know are my cousins, one is a slacker and the other has trouble in class in general. But I don't know whether or not we do that weird "1: English 2: Spanish OR 1: German 2: English" thing anymore. How the gradeschool system is chunked up depends on the school district. For example, where I live has 4 elementary schools that go from kindergarden-4th grade. They all funnel into a middle school for 5-6th, junior high for 7-8th, and highschool for 9-12th. I've had people look at me like I had 2 heads when I told them about the 4 elementary schools, but it makes sense to them when they find out there is as many kids in my graduating class as their entire highschool holds. I think the numbers Alaric is giving are age numbers, not grade numbers, in which case he is more or less accurate. A lot of people send their kids to "pre-school" which has been becoming increasingly popular over the years, which can start as early as 2.5 but depends on the kid a lot. Kindergarten (the beginning of elementry school) runs 5-6, after that it switches to grades. Economically speaking college or at least vocational school are pretty much mandatory since a high school degree is worthless by itself. I know. I went with grade numbers since all the french people I know had a similar 12 grade setup. It was how those grades are broken down into schools that messes with things. I've known people that go to junior high/middle school from 5th-8th and people that had elementary go from k-5. | ||

U.S. curriculums are decided State-wise, yes? Apparently the Brits have some fucked up system where you're done school at 16 or so and then some people go to college at 17. But she was saying that in college she had parent-teacher interviews which is seriously fucked IMO. | ||

maternelle/petite section/grande section (equivalent to pre-school then): starting at 3, some do put their children at 2.5 primary education called école primaire ("primary school", elementary school): 6 to 10 secondary education, comprised from: collège (junior high): 11 to 14, ending with a junior school certificate lycée (highschool): 15 to 17, where you choose one of several paths (basically literary degree, social sciences degree or scientific degree). You end high school with the baccalauréat (baccalaureate) the year you turn 18 (which is the majority here), equivalent to high school degree/diploma in the US, and apparently "A level" in the UK? Secondary education years' names are a bit dumb, as it goes "sixième, cinquième... seconde, première, terminale" eg. "6th, 5th... 1st, last". I guess it's for the "how many years until you're done [eg. ready for the working world, at the time this organisation was designed]", but it's still weird and makes less sense than the way you call yours. Then you have "superior education", which you call college. I think college precisely refers to what we call "fac", where you have mostly lectures and projects and a lot of autonomy as to what you do, whether you go to class, etc. but there are several other things (business schools, engineering schools, technology degrees/certificates, etc.). We usually call the whole thing "le supérieur" or "les études supérieures", superior being the litteral translation but the meaning is closer to "beyond [the mandatory education]". There are "technical" alternatives to our highschool degree ("bacs techniques") but they don't lead to many jobs, usually in the industrial sector and not necessarily with good pay or advancement opportunities. They are more often chosen by pupils having difficulties in the "standard" high school than by vocation. | ||
