Talk:High school
From Academic Kids
Should we really include the "It is widely beleived..." paragraph? It is purely speculative and not at all factual. --Frecklefoot
Moved from article:
"(It may be parallel to British 'College'? (as opposed to 'University')?)
It is widely believed by persons age 14-34 that high school is the worst part of one's life, and widely believed by persons age 35 and over that high school is the best part of one's life."

Alphabetization
Does wikipedia use alphabetization as a standard for structuring the arrangement of names, such as places in these article headlines?Weaponofmassinstruction 23:55, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
U.S. vs. State law
The section on United States high schools contained references to 'U.S. Law', especially regarding compulsory attendance laws. I've edited this section to clarify that all attendance laws originate with the states, not the federal government. Each state sets its own ages for compulsory attendance ages and maximum ages, although there is remarkable consistency. This seems like a minor change, but most of the other countries in this article have national education systems, and the United States doesn't. I feel this is an important distinction. --BucInExile--66.194.217.220 00:38, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Secondary school (in US at least)?
How can High School be secondary school if it is the third part of school, e.g. Elementary, Middle School, High School. --169.139.185.1 11:39, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
use of 'Year'
I do not understand the constant references to 'year 10', 'year 12', nor 'grade'. The age of the children my be more relevant along with number of preceeding years of formal education? Markb 11:37, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
