[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would hate UK private schools. Three terms in a school year. Each term has a one week half-term break, then about 3 weeks in between terms. [/quote]

I would love for our school systems to adopt this.  I think kids would actually be more motivated.[/quote]

Omg, my british husband would watch so many movies at home on his breaks... it was not like young kids were going in 4-5 three week vacations a year or doing mini internships.  He would just work out and watch movies.

School system very different there w A levels and only four subjects the last two years of HS. 
Also the application process to colleges- test scores, transcript, interview is another academic test, plus HoS politics telling you where to or not apply.
The in university it is teach-yourself and discuss with your small team. 
And they finally got some career services going the last few years as well as endowments since it is no longer 100% taxpayer funded— that only lasted 15-20 years before the budget blew out.[/quote]
