| | |  Class #3 Muggle Schooling
Right ok, on to class #3. Here we are going to be examining muggle schooling vs. our schooling system here at Hogwarts. YOu students here are very lucky in that this seems to be the shorter of them all. In the US and Canada, muggle children go to school from ages 4 or 5 until they are 17 or 18. In the UK, Enlgand you begin at ages 4-5 and go until your 18+ and in Scotland you go from 4-5 to about 16-17. Now as we know each wizarding child living within the UK is offered a spot at Hogwarts in their 11th year. Now the same as muggle children depending on when your birthday is in the year some of you may be older than others. Such in that if your birthday was in January and some one elses birthday was in December there would be almost a years difference but they would remain in the same year of schooling. Who can tell me what years are called in US and Canadian schooling systems?

"I don't suppose the UK is too much different than us, rather, I'd think it a bit easy. They don't have all the different names for things such as we do, do they? At eleven don't you leave primary school and go on to your First Year, on to your Seventh, I beleive?" Ashlie asked patiently. | |

Ah well, I guess it can get pretty mixed up if you're used to a certain system. But I think it's only the names of years that have changed, but basically, most educational systems have grade school, high school, and college in them.

"Hm...I suppose that for UK classes, we just have to study it a little more. Things that are foreign to us don't always come naturally." She looked down at her list of what the Professor had said and she'd copied down. "I suppose it will come to me in time...." | |

Funny you should ask. Your homework for this class is as follows: Please investigate the college and/or university system in both America and England. Include admission requirements for 3 schools in each country, length of study for a few programs at one school in each country and your options after completing your course of study. This homework is due Wednesday, December 1, 2004 @ 11:59pm EST. Please send it to professor_evans_office@hotmail.com. Include your member name, house and member number for credit. I will not chase anyone for this information, if it is not included you will receive no marks.
