(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just want to see peoples opinions on this I will briefly summarize the British system as I know it better than the North American One.

British -
1-3 - Nothing
4-5 Nursery (Kind of like Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten)
4-12 Primary School
12-16 Secondary School
16-18 College
18+ University


The Most important one to Focus on is Secondary school which is like the last year or so of Middle school and the first 2 of high school.

In secondary school I'd say the first 3 years are bollocks (From my experience) so we will skip them.

Year 10 is probably the year you learn the most, Our system is basically lessons throughout the day around 6-7 of them and you get homework every now and then depending on the teacher.

We then have Mock Versions of our finals known as GCSEs here is an example math GCSE from a Good Exam Board.
This is a Higher Paper for the more advanced people we have foundations for the not as advanced people.

They are as you can see very different from the scantrons of American Highschools but and upside is that these exams are the only thing that count towards our grade we can skip homework and classwork miss school and our final grade wont lower.

In Year 11 we mostly focus on these exams and preparing for them getting the right knowledge and revising.
then we get leave from school early where we just revise at home and come in for the exams on the scheduled days.

THIS IS A BRIEF SUMMARY I AM MISSING OUT A LOT SO SSSSH BIATCHES.

How would you compare the North American System to this? Harder or easier????

I wouldn't say any specific school system or learning system is better, just because the facts of standards and expectations like say for example china is a competition while uk and usa is everyone gets to make it at least until high school... I would say in comparison to usa and uk that they are around the same level

When you look at the numbers British system is better however both are broken and fail too many kids.

I think theres something fishy about all the countries speaking the same languages and there changing up the dialects on each other for some weird govermental stuff.
