Why is graduate school twice as long/ expensive in the USA as in the UK

Why is graduate school twice as long/ expensive in the USA as in the UK?
UK = 1 Year no silly tests and its recognized the world over. USA = 2 Years that means it will be twice as expensive and you have to take some silly GRE test like your bachelors degree isn't enough of an example. Why do they make it so hard for you to go to grad school in the USA?

Not even all the towns near each other start classes on the same day. In the Dallas area, classes start anywhere from August 10 to August 25. [ Each school district schedules its own calendar, and they don't make any particular effort to synchronize. ] Also, colleges, Universities, and community colleges make their own schedules that don't necessarily match any one elses. In much of America, the "school starts in September" deal is just a memory.
2 :
Local school boards set the yearly school schedule for their district.
3 :
it depends on the state that you are in... some start in august and some start in september or november

Most private elementary cost under $10,000. $3000 - $6500 should be a fair price for one year of tuition. BUT it really depend what school are you going send your child to.

like you went to high school in a different country and now ur going to one in the US? if that's the case then your credits should transfer if you have your transcript

How old are you? Where in the US are you living? If you are under age 21, you can usually enroll in a US public high school. Go to the office, and sign up. They will ask for your foreign high school transcripts. If those are not available, you can still enroll. They will ask for proof that you have received your immunizations. If you don't have that, talk to them anyway, and they can tell you how to get it. If you are over age 21, you will need to get your GED - that's a test you take, and it acts as a high school equivalency. The adult education department in your town, or your local community college, offer GED preparation classes, which are free or very inexpensive. Contact them. In some cities, such as NYC, the city runs adult high school programs. Many, many immigrants to the US enroll in these adult high school programs. If you live in a major US city, find out if an adult high school program exists there, and enroll.
