Hi Emily, you asked where am I from on the discussion page. I figured, I write you directly here on this page. I'm from Switzerland. Where are you from? Our school system in switzerland is completely different from america. Since I read Choices (okay, first I read Episode and was interested since then), I was interested in the american system. Honestly, for me it sounds like that the students there must be having a really exciting time growing up. I mean, when they go to college, they have to grow up on their own. Most students here in S. make an apprenticeship. We learn our profession by doing it with practical practice at a company and we go one or two days in a week to school, to learn the theoretic stuff. An apprenticeship takes usually 3-4 years. Some of the students go to a cantonal school (in america probably called high school) instead of going to secondary school(age 12/13 to 15/16), (ike most of the students), after primary school (in america elementary school). Then after cantonal school, they study at an university to become a doctor, lawyer, teacher etc. I hope that's understandable.
