I beat all of my dad's friends in blackjack while I was still in elementary school. ;] Middle school only improved my skills, and now I need to learn the chance game that is poker.

RC...
Oh it's not beddy bye time is it? gonk
I'll never forget when we used to travel all over different suburbs with Grade Softball and play against schools. We'd always end up fighting. We also had silly nicknames for all the schools..It was weird..
Do you guys call middle School, to what's known over here is Primary School?

Well, maybe. Elementary school is for grades (I guess you could call them years) up until fifth grade. Middle school is, well, the middle, before highschool, for grades 6, 7, and 8. And High school is grades 9, 10, 11, 12, also known as freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. At least thats how it is in California, it varies a little in different places.

Over here we've got
Kindy, or kindergarden, which is from 3-5 years old.
Then it's Primary School, which is for years 3 4 5 and 6 so ages to about 11 -12...
Then is High School which is year 7 8 9 10 11 12..
Which is usually for ages from 13 to 17...
Years 11 and 12 are the senior years..
Once all this is finished, then they go to college or University..
Speaking of School, can I ask what is a smarter school, is it Yale or Harvard? I've always to know that one..

It really depends on who you ask. Most 'Ivy League' schools are considered smart by most Americans.

I've been a prefect, Captain, vice captain, almost everything and anything at School, because I was a total nut. when I was in Primary school, I must admit I was smart, then once High school hit me, I went all dopey..

Harvard and Yale and all those fancy schools are considered very good academic 'Ivy League' schools. But the College I want to go to is called called UC Berkeley, which is a VERY good art school

I never went to College, as at the time, I didn't think I wanted to, but now that I think back on my life, I would have done things differently. There are so many things, I wished I studied. Perhaps today's life for me would have been much better.
I also think that no matter what School you go to, it's not about being in the right places, it's about 'you' wanting to learn and how much make it happen. Even if the School is crappy, a person that meant to be smart, will always have that talent, no matter where they go.

I've never watched any of those 90's teen-dramas...I've been too busy with cartoons my whole life :T
Speaking of cartoons, Venture Brothers is on. Lucky me!
