There was a murder on Monday in the next street down, and yesterday there was a gang carrying swords in my street and had a standoff with armed cops.[/quote]

...swords? As in the long pointy things?[/quote]

Yep, Katanas. 6 teens, no older than 17, walking around carrying swords.
They had to shut the nearby primary school down because they were heading in that direction.
Next thing, there were loads of armed cops everywhere shouting at them to drop the weapons.

There's a family of scumbags near here, dad, kids, all of them into dealing drugs. Someone was probably dealing on their turf.

The murder on Monday was a family thing as well. 15 year old stabbed his dad.[/quote]

[quote=The Rodent][quote=Mr Minio]Eh, English is gettin' on my nerves. Pondering way too long on the order of words in a sentence.[/quote]

On your nerves, English is getting.
In a sentence, the order of words, do you ponder.[/quote]

[quote=The Rodent][quote=Mr Minio]Oh, and when I was in primary school we were starting out at the age of 7, not 6.[/quote]

Primary school in the UK, as in, proper school and not pre-school or nursery, is ages 5-6.

I started proper school at 3 because I could read and write at 2 years old :laugh: All the other kids were 5 and 6 years old.
I never went to nursery or pre-school at all.

Did my final exams at 14, left school at 15 and got a job :D[/quote]

[quote=The Rodent][quote=Mr Minio]As a side note, I will never memorize American school system. I constantly confuse college with high school.[/quote]

The UK is almost the same.

England has Nursery, Pre-school, Reception, KS1, KS2, and the secondary school is KS3, KS4 and KS5.
Years are deemed as 1-12 across the two separate schools.

Scotland has a simple system. Primary School and Secondary School.
Primary 1-7, then secondary school is 1st year to 5th year, and a 6th year known as Prefect should the student wish to stay at secondary school for an extra year before going to either a college or a university.

Then there's the exam systems... GCSE and SGCSE, O-Level and A-Level, and then College and Uni with their own systems of exams... et al.[/quote]

[quote=The Rodent][quote=Mr Minio]Hey, what's the point in taking a gap year after college in America or elsewhere?[/quote]

Travel around and see the world outside of a lab before returning to the lab and becoming bored again.[/quote]
