Well we have that too. Except it goes

Kindergarten, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. And then college.

But 1-6 is elementary school. 7&8 are junior high. And 9-12 are high school. And each year in high school has a certain name.

9- Freshman
10- Sophomore
11- Junior
12- Senior

God, now that I think about it, that IS confusing (x

Marley (Marleyme95) | 5270 comments Haha, here, 6 is middle...


message 7703: by [deleted user] (new)

Well it depends on the district. My dad lives like an hour away from me and all their schools have 6-8 middle schools. But I personally think 6th grade is too young. Idk.

Marley (Marleyme95) | 5270 comments Not to me...

Lorna | 1273 comments Hm. Well, now it makes a little more sense...Prep to 6 is primary school, and 7 to 12 high school. Then Uni.

Hehe, "uni"


message 7709: by Lorna (new)

Lorna | 1273 comments Lol...or tafe. It's either Uni or tafe over here.


message 7710: by [deleted user] (new)

Tafe?


message 7711: by Lorna (new)

Lorna | 1273 comments Tafe college. Like uni, but cheaper.

When you all go to college you go, THEN decide major etc, is that right? Like on the sims...


message 7712: by [deleted user] (new)

Not always. You can decide your major and choose which college you go to by what you want to major in.


message 7713: by [deleted user] (new)

So I'm guessing a tafe college is like a junior college here... Hmm.


message 7714: by Lorna (new)

Lorna | 1273 comments OH. Weird...

My group last active thingy is being weird. It says '-1 days' instead of '2 minutes ago'...

These are absolutely appalling. Many of these situations describe clear emotional abuse and all of them ignorance.

WHY WHY WHY? *headdesk*

Politicalquiz.net

The higher the number the more you support the word on the right. The lower the number, the more you support the word on the left. Scale ranges from 0-12. Enjoy!

My results:
Conservative / Progressive
10

Capitalist Purist / Social Capitalist
11

Libertarian / Authoritarian
5

Pacifist / Militarist
3

"Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Hardcore Democrat."

Shananakosa, bitches~

Conservative/Progressive score: 10
You are a social progressive. You generally consider yourself a humanist first. You probably think that religion and patriotism go too far in society. You probably consider yourself to be a citizen of Earth first rather than a citizen of your country.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 10
You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 3
You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 5
You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Hardcore Democrat

Currently, after 36834 submissions, the average Conservative/Progressive score is 6, the average Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score is 6.8, the average Libertarian/Authoritarian score is 5.48, and the average Pacifist/Militarist score is 4.55
