andsome Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 We don't have a graduation system the same as the US. You either leave high school at 18 and get a job, or carry on to a university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 That is exactly the same as the US -- except sometimes you are in High School past 18 (you're finished when you pass the 12th grade) and you can go on to work or go to college -- or both.

expertec Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 You can leave school at 16 (after finishing GCSEs) and get a job, or you can carry on till 18 and do A-Levels, then go on to university or start work.BTW, this is the place I go to::D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Oh I understand...Here you must formally withdraw (with parent's permission) but not until 16 without any consequence aside from telling employers "I did not finish high school" and potentially not getting a job. Unless that happens, if you're not in school in excess of a few days (sometimes a week) until you graduate, some districts will jail you...

Gandalph Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I graduated from Penshaw High School. They called it that because the whole school was on the top of a hill. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir T Fireball Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 The picture is deceptive as it doesn't show the 'new wing' that was added in the early 1900's. There were no more than 12 per class :) I remember watching Russian Bears being 'escorted' from our airspace by the RAF boys overhead.....how they never collided I'll never know. Their wings seemed to be just inches from eachother...sorry, I digress :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 THIS is the smallest high school I know of in the States. It includes both primary and secondary classes, with an enrollment of 28 children.Kelleys Island is on Lake Erie. http://www.kelleysisland.com/We took a trip there just last week checking out the house we are renting this summer.. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I was looking for a picture of my old school but found out it was demolished in 1976.
