...except in Quebec, where elementary finishes at 6, high school is from 7 to 12, and then comes CEGEP, then university.In Canada (not sure if it's different from US) the only difference is that middle school ends in 8th grade, and highschool starts in grade 9.
I really don't know why that is. Quebecquers...it would seem...enjoy being different...
Teacher: "You connect with Internet Explorer, but what is your browser? You know, Yahoo, Webcrawler...?" It's great to see the educational system moving in the right direction
Japan has the same system as America now...
@joeprogrammer: I think it is, at least where I live.
The Irish system
Pre-School
General 5 and 6 year old school stuff
(1st - 6th class) ~7 - ~12 years of age (Primary School)
(1st - 6th year) ~13 - ~18 years of age (Secondary School)
and then to third level, if you want/can.
Out of curiosity, how much holidays do ye guys get during the summer? I'm talking about primary school and secondary school and third level (or equivalent systems).
In Ireland:
Primary: ~2 Months (July and August)
Secondary: ~3 Months (June, July and August, according to my dad the three best reasons to become a secondary school teacher)
University (note: not uniform across the island, so I'm just picking my one): ~same as Secondary School.
In my country:
1 - 6 = elementary (for age 7 to 12)
7 - 9 = junior high (for age 13 - 15)
10 - 12 = senior high (for age 16 - 18)
Actually that's the minimum recommended education from the government. But in truth, most people dropped out after graduating elementary (especially the poor ones). The quality of education in my country is so bad yet the cost is so high. The irony.
Cost? That kind of education should be free...
Where do you live?
In Estonia, you CAN drop out after 9th grade, not before...

Well, I live in Indonesia. And nothing in this country is FREE. Even if you have to take a leak in the public toilet, you have to pay. Isn't that great?Originally Posted by maxorator
Actually it's not too expensive. But being in an economic catastrophe, if people were given a choice of whetherto be educated or to have something to eat for the day, people tend to choose the latter.
The school system in Sweden:Originally Posted by g4j31a5
1 - 3:d class = elementary school (starts the year you turn 7)
4 - 6:th class = middle school
7 - 9:th class = junior high school
1 - usually 3:d ring = senior high
Estonia seems to be quite moderate in these things. But in Norway, you don't even have to pay for electricity.Well, I live in Indonesia. And nothing in this country is FREE.

@Psychopath
After reading your post and the replys about getting you motivated, it has dawned on me to ask you a question.
You took an interest in computer science ( ie, programming ) because you felt "motivated" by it. It is a taxing hobbie and can be very self-rewarding - look at pointers for one thing!
If you are motivated enough to do programming as a hobbie, ( I assume you may not take it as a seperate class at school or college ) then think of every boring homework assingment you have to do as a program.
Break it up into more managable chunks, like functions in a program, then you might feel more inspired to get it done - good luck in all your endevours by the way, remember, motivation is the key in life, not just programming...
Double Helix STL
Even Literature can be broken down into key functions and elements.
Sorry, but good luck with PE....
int main() {
int time = gettime();
run();
gettired();
pushups();
return home;
)
God, you guys are nerds.

Those pay-for-a-hole-in-the-ground things are revolting.

Anyways, I don't know what those scores are even gonna do for me. And I don't know why I'm saying it here. No one is awake at 3:00 AM anyways.
