Yep, that is a much better system.
Infant= 1,2 (age, 5,6)
Primary= 3-6 (7-10)
Secondary (HS)= 7-11 (11-15)
Is just daft.

[moose07]

Good timing. :)

[Monkey Face]

W00t!

Too late. I gotta shut down, as the storms look really wicked. I can play games on my Nook in the dark and read on my Kindle in the dark, so it’s OK if we have a power outage. Although, I really don’t like those, because the fans don’t work for some reason... ;o]

So I will see all y’all in the morning!

*smooches*

It will miss your location.
,night ,night. :)

[Monkey Face]

No, it didn’t! LOL! Wind is up, thunder is louder, more often and uglier,and I’m shutting down! And here comes the rain!

Ta!

I was watching this time.

I prefer the junior high/high school system, but that could be just because that’s what I had in Virginia in the 1980s.

As for ages, they can start 1st grade at age 6, which means a student whose birthday is in the summer (like mine) completes the final year of secondary school at age 17 and turns 18 before starting college in the fall.

"... they can start 1st grade at age 6, which means a student whose birthday is in the summer (like mine) completes the final year of secondary school at age 17 and turns 18 before starting college in the fall."

Unless they're your kids, in which case they're probably doing college work at fourteen.

Pat isn’t 14 yet.

However, other children who were advanced at earlier ages have tended to average out as they reached the late ‘teens. At least in the testable subjects: reciting sagas in Old Norse doesn’t help on the Central Piedmont Community College placement test.

Maybe Kathleen only gets an animal book when she goes in the potty? If she goes in her underwear she gets another kind of book?

Just thinking, a dangerous pastime.

[Tax-chick]

Sure, we’ll read her the Necronomicon if she has an accident ...

Got a nibble on Tom as an SAT tutor. I said he’d phone them by Sunday evening.

Dry as a popcorn fart.

Will do.

See, even with our freedom of speech we aren’t allowed to yell “fire” in a crowded theater.

Zatso?

What are you supposed to do when the theater really is on fire?

(In the case where that phrase originated, the fire was the growing Great War, and the court ruled that warning American was not protected speech!)

Too late. I gotta shut down, as the storms look really wicked.

60 MPH winds and flooding?

I guess so!

[Tax-chick]

LOL!
