Steve...I need a full course in Contemporary Modern Post-War Post-Industrial British culture and the terms used therein.  I'm sad to admit that what I've learned comes from Mr. Bean, Monty Python and Fr. Ted. |

I say we just call it Grade School and make it easier for everyone.

Being Canadian born, I will not give up metric, damn it. Join the rest of the modern world. |

Some American cities have only Elementary/Grade School (Grades K- 8) and High School (Grades 9- 12). I had Grade School (Grades K- 5), Middle School/Junior High (Grades 6- 8), and High School (Grades 9- 12). The system is a little too complex. I don't see what's so special about Middle School students that they need a separate school. |

My school experience has been primary school (Years R-6), secondary school (Years 7-11) and sixth form (Years 12 and 13). Then it's on to uni. |

Sixth form? Where did that term come from?

When I went...our Catholic system had a massive changeover. So Elementary School went from K-8 and High School went from 9-12. ...and if you're living in Ontario, you had to go through Grade 13 before being accepted into college. |

Bristol isn't England. England is London. England is Birmingham. England is Manchester. Bristol is TEH WEST COUNTRY. |

Okay, so Bristol, Gloucester, Leeds, Essex, Caunterbury and Stratford aren't England either? |
