Tom obviously cared enough to delete the post he made here 3 hours ago.
Unless it was just a clever trick to add a piece of email to my inbox, so I'd have to follow a link and find nothing, thus wasting a minute of my time.
Which gives me an idea...
You did something similar a bit earlier in another thread yesterday that I forgot by now, I think it was in the "How old are you" thread. :rolleyes:Quote:

A translation taking the context into account is
"Where the Romans create desolation, they call it peace."
Let's see... highschool is 4 years in the US (probably the same in Belgium)... I'm surprised, Simon only got held back 2 years!Quote:

I've never been held back a year, not even at university. I used a US term, I should have forseen trouble. :rolleyes: The literal translation would be middle school or something. OK: quick recollection of typical path for a good student who is never held back:Quote:

6-12 years old: lower school (Dutch : lagere school)
12-18 years old: middle school (Dutch : middelbare school)
18-24 years old (typically): highschool (Dutch : hogeschool) or university
So mandatory by law, everybody should go to school from their 6th age till their 18th, after that, one can go working or study further at a highschool or university. Lower school has six years, middle school too, highschool or university typically four.
To quote Monsters Inc. :Quote:

"I remember kindergarten. It was the worst 3 years of my life."..... Drum shot.
Note: in the US kindergarten is for 5 year olds only.
Well... 5 and 6 year olds.Quote:

Anyway, in the US it goes one of two ways:
6-11 yrs old - Elementary School (5 years)
12-14 yrs old - Middle School (3 years)
15-18 yrs old - High School (4 years)
Then college
OR
6-12 yrs old - Elementary School (6 years)
13-15 yrs old - Junior High School (3 years)
16-18 yrs old - High School (3 years)
Then college
