I guess in different parts of the US, we have different names for our schools.


I went to:

preschool: age 3
kindergarten: age 4
elementary school (grades 1-6): from ages 5-11
actually, I have never heard the terms "grammar school" or "lower school"
junior high school (grades 7 and 8): ages 11-13 (I've never heard of "middle school")
high school (grades 9-12): ages 13-17
college: ages 17-21
graduate school: ages 21-22

I was younger than most of my classmates, though, so my ages might be atypical.

I won't even try to answer the journalism question because Paul and Annie answered them thoroughly smile - and Annie is a reporter, so she is definately the authority (much more so than I am wink ).
