    Default Culture Difference

    Ello, I'm stupid American and was wondering what the education system for you guys was.

    Here in America it's basically

    Kindergarden (some places)
    1-6 lementary
    7-8 :Middle School
    9-12: High School

    And then for higher learning at college (I'm guessing University for you)

    2 years - Associate
    4 years - Bacheloret (no clue how it's spelled even though that's what I was going for... it's okay though cause I'm an art major )
    And after that I really have no clue.
