Thanks Willow
for both the explanation of how vastly different the schools systems are as well as what it really means to be an Accywebber in good standing. I know my favorite part of Accyweb is getting to know most by what is going on in their lives as well as their family's lives. I guess some would also demand that ButtomsMum cease and desist with the "family" picture as well as the age marker of their delightful child.
Okay back to thread, for those who may be curious, most U.S. students graduate from High School (their 13th year of schooling) at the age of 18. ~25% go directly into the workforce, ~10% into the military, and the rest move on to 4 year Universities or Colleges or to 2 years of Community College.
I believe we celebrate it as the point of entering true Adulthood. And Rindy, as I'm not well versed in the movie Grease I asked your dance question of Cindy and Joshua. They just kinda laugh and said we do not have that kind of thing.
