Right, over in the uk you go to school for 11 years (5-16)

Then you go to college for 2-3 years, can be any age but usualy 16-20ish,

Then once you finish college you go to university, usualy 19 too what ever age. And they are usualy 4 year courses.

Then you are fully qualified and can go get a boring job, get old and die

But im gona go to uni soon

it's no fair you guys have less schooling then us :'(

we have to go to school for 13 years then you have to go to college for about 2-5 years depending on what type of degree you want

Wel its about the same, college is just like the upper part of school, you can stay in school for the extras 2-3 years if you want, but most go too college. So its still 13-14 in school then 4-5 in university depending on the course.

i don't think we've got college here.. you go to the prime school when ur 7, then end it with age 13 [with a lil exam, ttg i didn't have to write it, cause they enforced the law year after i left :smoking:

]. then u go to junior high for 3 yrs [it sucks, cause we didn't do anything which could help me in further education :confusion:

] and finish it with another exam. and then you go to high school for 3 yrs [i'm finishing my 2nd yr here] and then u have to pass A-levels and then have to choose studies - i.e. u can study law, medicine and so on..

after passing junior high you can choose also technical school = for example technical school of motor vehicle engineering or something like that.. i know it's sad, but ppl always make jokes about those schools.. :sweating:

I hate exams..but my exams is gonna be easy...I can use the books while I'm havin' the exam...but it's 5 different classes I'm gonna do...in one day...but if I get a exam in math or somethin' else, I'm fucked...

u can use books?! we can have one language dictionary i think.. :unsure:

1 for 6 students or something like that, so the exam's gonna finish before i had a chance to check for the spelling or "unconcious" :8)

by **Mr. Cookie** » Apr 28th, '06, 19:58

yeah We can use the books....it's a little bit hard to explain, but yeah, I'm gonna have to take 5 different classes in one test....I only get 1 hour to finish one class...know what I mean? I hope you do.. :smoking:

You speak english better than me! Or write it! I dont think ive ever heard polish before, but then ive never been to poland!

Can you speak german as well as you can speak english?

by **yoshi** » Apr 28th, '06, 22:01

aww.. thanks :oops:

i bet u've heard polish somewhere, there's lot of polish ppl in UK.. yeah, i guess i can speak german nearly as good as english, but i prefer english.. it's far easier i think.. :sweating:

Wow, i could never speak another language, and your spelling is perfect too! That must be difficult because i still cant spell properly!

Im not very good at languages, im best at maths!

by **yoshi** » Apr 28th, '06, 22:11

thanks, i try to do my best lol

it's not hard i guess, but posting here or just simply listening to hip-hop [or any other music] helps a lot.. :happy:

especially in developing ur vocabulary..

i'm not that good at maths lol :whistle:

i just don't get it sometimes, i get C's usually and i'm quite pleased with myself then :8)

by **yoshi** » Apr 28th, '06, 22:18

i remember myself tryin to learn japanese - i actually can draw a few hiragana letters and that's all :sweating:

And Sarah, don't worry - i always tell myself marks don't really correspondence to ur knowledge :sweating:

by **yoshi** » Apr 28th, '06, 22:46

^^ They kick you out for having C's? :confusion:

Idk how it is in Australia, but I guess they cannot just kick you out, unless you playin truants too often or doin drugs and so on.. :unsure:

by **yoshi** » Apr 28th, '06, 22:55

Aww.. it really sucks then..

but I keep my fingers crossed for you Sarah and i'm sure they won't kick u out
