I think maybe if I just never ever get into a conversation with anyone about the educational system of Great Britain, I'll be ok. Thanks for trying to make me knowledgable though

lol, well what happens is you start off in somewhere called primary school for 2-3 years. Then you goto a middle school for something like 7 years where the last two years you do GCSE's. When you've finished that you've finished compulsaray education and can leave, or stay on and do A-levels which allow you to specialise in 3 to 4 of the 10-15 subjects you did at GCSE.
After that you get to choose to specialise in 1 or 2 of those subjects at degree (university, though their not all degrees but can lead to one) level. Thats as high as you can go really, but you can keep repeating Uni until your 70 or something like that.
Thats just a quick idea, dunno how that compares to the US but I think it goes there, normal school, high school, collage....
I've said it before and I'll say it again, never try and explain your country's education system to someone from a different country.
It took me three hours to explain it to one American girl, and she didn't even really understand it at the end.
I get it now. We go elementary education which is elementary school and middle school/junior high. Then we have secondary education which is high school. But we don't do the GSCE or A level things. We either go on to a two year trade school where we get an associate's degree or we go to a four year college/university where we get a bachelor's degree. After that, we can go onto graduate school and get a master's degree, and if we stick with it, a doctoral degree. We can stop any time after we're 16 (in North Carolina, anyway)
My major right now (for my bachelor's degree) is Journalism and Mass Communications with a concentration in News/Editorial writing.
