Misterman, 4 years? Must not be from around here.
high school doesn't start until grade 10 here.
..
Where is here? I don't know when Alberta became Ontario? I've been out of school for almost 20 years now, so it's possible things changed.
times changed, Misterman.
...
A lot of school districts that use the "middle school" instead of a junior high school system have grade 9 in high school. It's not like it's legislated provincially, districts are free to put whatever grades in whatever buildings fit the students. This isn't a new thing, it was around back when I in school. Although maybe not when Speedog was . . .
Everyone was in the same classroom when speedog was in grade school :rofl:
But regardless of school structure we still have 3 distinct levels of school... each is concluded with a provincial exam :dunno:
...
You know writing a test at the end of grade 9 isn't intended to grant you graduation from that building to a high school building, right? It's just a grade 9 test, to evaluate all students in grade 9, regardless of it being labelled junior high or high school.
My wife grew up in springbank and they have 5-8, 9-12 (still do), but they write provincials in gr 9 just like everyone else.
That’s the exact point I’m making... regardless of the structure of the schools that don’t follow the 7-9, 10-12 structure... we still test everyone in 6, 9, and 12...
Grade 9 dictates what course you will take for the rest of your schooling, so it’s clearly a completely different grade than 10,11, and 12... which have completely different course and structure to the school day. So in Alberta even if you are in a building that is 9-12... high school is obviously still 10-12
