    Happy timezones, friends!!

    Dropping by to say good morning. My arthritis is killing me today due to a change in the atmospheric pressure out here. I feel like I'm in a 90-year-old's body. Hurts to stand.

    Going to try to take the dog to a nice creek since it's in the 90's today. We'll see if I make it.

    I hope you're all doing well :)

    I hope you feel better soon.

    K-12 system is American schools I'm assuming you're talking about. Various locations have different rules for the names but all places have kindergarten through twelfth grade.
    Me for example had Kindergarten , that primary school (1-2) than intermediate school (3-5) than middle school (6-8) and than high school (9-12) Kindergarten starts at 4-5 years old depending when your birthday falls. And 12th grade ends around 17-18 years old. Than you go to college if you've got the money. And than you get a job. If you don't go to college you struggle for the rest of your life. If you go to college but don't get a career right away because the economy plum than you're just plum outta luck . Cause man those student loans are killer.

    So sad. So true Plums big time.

    Community College offers a great option to cut the cost a bit.

    i hope you feel better too. speaking of keeping cool i think i fixed my air conditioner last night. i didn't have the switch over far enough so it went from blowing cool warm air to air where i'm almost freezing.

    @Shadyboop @Shadami beat me to it lol.

    Our country only adopted the K-12 system recently because before it was implemented, we only had 6 years of grade school and 4 years of high school. Then it's college after that, which is a must here if you want a job. So I was in my freshman year of college at around 17 years old. Funny enough after I graduated, I couldn't find any job in what I studied (Hotel and Tourism Management), so I ended up in the education sector teaching English to Koreans, which I find more enjoyable now.

    The difference here with us is that our parents pay for our educational expenses since we are expected to live with them our whole life and take care of them when they get old.

    Do you use college to mean high school or middle school? I use it to mean high school but I think I'm in the minority xD

    Hard to explain. Anyone who lives here knows what I mean without explaining it because it's just a thing. I'll say like a pre-uni thing for about 2-3 years so the equivalent of the last 2 years of highschool but you only have about 1 subject, which you pick, (some places offer more than one course at once). I'm taking something like 3 things in September... :)

    Also, ending my part in this conversation before I start thinking about when I find out how I did on my exams (don't want to redo maths next year, which I could have failed... :| )

    Oh wait. I know what you mean. Mum attended one of those. Yeah. It's just in NZ some high schools are called colleges as well.

    Yeah, fun stuff. :lol: Not sure what you learn in the last 2 years of high school but if it involves maths then I'm not interested...I'll stick with never having to take it again. Okay, so I'm weird. I was fine when I was in class for it but in the exams I blanked. I'm hoping I scraped a pass... :| I'll find out in about 6 weeks... :open_mouth:

    Yeah, my school did IB and made you take maths. :( But the NZ system is NCEA which lets you drop it in the last two years.
