Pffftt. Whatever.

Hey gang, what's goin down in here?

Babette (or Troy), a strawberry daiquiri puh-leese?

I'm serious. They shrank 16 months to 12 for us. 15 week academic terms were completed in 12 weeks. Course load was 36 hours a week and 7 credits. 50 per cent of the mark came from our permanent learning teams, so we'd have to spend 12 hours a week in team meetings to discuss the group assignments. Then about 40 hours of homework.


It was all part of the evil genius experience.

Its the fault of those Dox genes, Tamper Lad...stay away from the Dark Side - embrace the goodness of the Force

ugggh this place is a dive (wipes dust off counter)

BARKEEP! bloody mary please. extra bloody. it's been an abyssmal day.

That sucks TL.

It's almost as bad here, though. Taking ten week courses in 6 weeks. I took 12 units one session and 8 the other.

It blows. Be-lieve me.

Cosmo King, you look like a nice enough fellow, the drink is on me

Hey Cali, what are you majoring in at Uni?

I'm a double major in anthropology and biology. Or so the theory goes. I sincerely doubt that it'll end up that way but that's the goal atm.

We had the luxury of offices complete with phones at the school. We never left. My record is 72 hours in the building with only meal breaks. And an hour to watch TV in the undergraduate lounge.

sounds like architecture...oh wait ive been banished to the future. better run.

Well, I'm just a puny undergrad atm so it's not quite that traumatic. But it's bad enough as is, thanks.

Undergrad? What in regards is that equivalent to if you were in high school? Freshman or sophomore?

Yeah those professional programs can be a beyotch.

Ours was weird in that we were placed in teams based on psych profiles. I hate time management, and have trouble with emotional situations. BWAHAHA. It made for interesting times.

Undergrad was a lark for me. Drank too much, I tell ya.

Is Australia still on that old-style five year British high school system or is it the 4-year American style now LAM.

Undergrad is your first Uni degree.

How rude. The dust must have fallen off of you. As everyone knows, SHAKES is always immaculate, thanks to the spell of the Emerald Empress. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Now for your bloody mary - would you like that in a clean glass?

Semi!

Good to almost see you...

I'll have a Red Ranger, Please.


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(I need to keep an eye on this crowd)

Ranger is it really you? I feel strangely wary and I don't know why.

Yeah, it's me Semi...

At least I think it's me...


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Around here who can ever be positive?)

I suppose I'll just have to take your word for it. Now here's that Red Ranger.

Would I lie to you?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(And thanks for the drink...)

Ok, thanks for the info, TL, now as to your question: our public and private school system is governed by two areas: primary and secondary. Primary starts at Year 5 and ends at Year 7, then secondary at Year 8 until Year 12. In the days before modern tech there was a term called "Leaving" - tho i havent the foggiest whether it is still used today.

Since Canada is,in part, involved with the British Empire as you stated (also in part)how is the school system managed in your neck of the woods?

Hey, Space Ranger, how you doin?

Until 2 years ago this province had a 13 year primary and secondary system. 2 Years ago we joined the rest of North America with a 12 year school system. Two classes of high school graduated in the same year, causing a huge mess.

(raises glass)

Per my love of Semi, I promise to never destroy this place again while under my own senses!

(drops glass)

Damn...
