could not find exact equivalent. I am not sure whether the HSD is equivalent to 10 year of school education (SSLC) or 12 year of school education (HSC/Pre-Degree..etc). to take an UG there should be of 12 Years of school education . for PG an UG is must.

Usually it is French or German but some schools offer Spanish, Italian, Arabic or Mandarin Chinese.
2 :
Well in my school we have the choice of French Italian Spanish Irish German Latin Hope this helps :)
3 :
in primary school, 7 to 12 year olds, they teach english and gaelic irish, which is compulsory. in secondary school, besides the other two, there is a choice of all the european languages, french, spanish, german etc. in fee paying schools they usually offer Latin and Ancient Greek in addition to the european languages.
4 :
Quite normal to have French, Irish, German and Spanish available in schools.
5 :
Depends.My three were taught entirely in Irish at primary so are fluent Irish speakers.In secondary they swapped to being taught in English and could also take lessons in French,German or Spanish if they wanted to.In other schools though at primary level they are taught in English but get Irish classes as well.Other secondaries offer the likes of Russian and Greek also.

Irish, English and French is complosery until after the junior cert..

Ladiesman is wrong...french isnt compulsory at all.

How has the Public School system in USA changed since 1950
How has the Public School system in USA changed since 1950 ?
Were the teachings better in those days ? Did they teach more values and or morals at the time ? Was it better or worse ?

A couple of weeks ago, I confronted my daughter's teacher regarding her reading. My daughter is in 4th grade and although she is only nine years old, she doesn't know anything about "The Pledge of Allegiance" or "The National Anthem" or "the first Pilgrims of this country". I believe, they are not teaching values. We know, education starts at home but there are some subjects, that the school system should provide - period. I taught her more about American History, than she will ever know at school. I'm Italian as you know, but for me, living in America, implies to learn not only well the language, but foremost , it's History. Teachers nowadays, are too confined with what they have to teach. Suddenly, Patriotism became a big "taboo" from the moment the word God, is in the anthem or the pledge. Stupid, and ridiculous !!!! How about the phrase "in God we trust " in the dollar bills? Are they going to change that too ? I am sure, teacher in 1950, had more power to "educate" and instill anything, that has to do with "morals and values" !
2 :
The basics were taught better as they were enforced with better parent/teacher communication and had the belief, spare the rod, spoil the child. Values andmorals were much better then
3 :
Teaching in the 1950s was not unionized as it is today. School administrators had far more control and input over what was taught and what would be tolerated. In 1957, then President Eisenhower pushed forth a policy of desegregation of both the military and the public schools. For the latter, he was forced to call out the National Guard. He also instituted the phrase "...under God..." in the Pledge of Allegiance." Ike was a Republican. When Kennedy came to office, he managed to load up the supreme court with like minded thinking liberals. Prayer in schools was suddenly ruled "unconstitutional." I think we began to stray at this particular point in time. Kennedy was a Democrat. It's not so much about politics and party lines as it is about mindsets and perspectives. There had pretty much always been an underlying subversive element in the education system, but it had until this time, remained largely in the inner city. Like a cancer it began to spread, even to the most rural of schools. Presented initially as offering opportunity to teach alternative subjects, the core subjects began to take a back seat. We don't teach (in our elementary and middle schools) history. Instead we teach "social studies." It just sort of spirals down the drain from there. I think it's of interest that the current Pres. Bush pushed forth a policy of "No Child Left Behind." Teachers were suddenly to be graded on their job performance and the students were the barometer. Teachers who did well would receive a monetary bonus as a reward. Those who failed, could find themselves looking for new employment. The teachers union screamed bloody murder and the media went to work painting a very negative picture of the new policy. Fed up with the whole union thing, I now limit my instruction of history to 4th and 5th grade Cub Scouts. I spend a month teaching about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Articles of Confederation and touch on the prelude to the American Revolution. It's a challenge teaching what is now considered college level material to those who are so young and keeping it interesting. In today's society, no one seems willing to step up and say "This is wrong." The few that do, get quickly shouted down. Of "Christian" "Values," they teach that these are bad, too restrictive. People have this false perception that being "Christian" means you are either a door mat: never willing to stand up and defend what is right, or that you are over bearing and intolerant. That being the case, how then does one explain Jack Kennedy's being Roman Catholic? There is an old saying, "If you stand for everything, then you stand for nothing." That's where we are today. We stand for nothing and we teach nothing. It does after all, "Take a village..."

High school is separate from club swimming. But, if you do well enough in club swimming, or hight school swimming, either can qualify you for the Olympic trials.

What are the best masters graduate programs that will prepare an individual for medical school in the USA
What are the best masters graduate programs that will prepare an individual for medical school in the USA?
I have a degree in exercise sport/science but i want to become a doctor. Can i still pursue a masters degree in exercise physiology or exercise biochemistry if my overall goal is to get into medical school? Or should i pursue a masters in a biomedical sciences or some type of biochemisty, mollecular biology program? Right now i am looking to apply to three graduate schools for a masters in biomedical sciences. These are UMDNJ, Boston University, and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. They all have masters programs that are geared towards individuals whose primary goal is to become doctors but might need another two years to strengthen science knowledge. They are kind of like stepping stone programs. Since i have more an "exercise sport science" background i was wondering if it was ok to still apply to some schools for exercise physiology or exercise biochemistry and still put myself in position to achieve my medical school goals. Any advice would be appreciated.

You don't need to have a masters degree to get into medical school. You only need to have a bachelors degree and to take pre-med courses. Many schools offer post baccalaureate programs for medical school. If your primary goal is medical school, getting a masters degree is extra schooling that you don't need. If you already have a degree, just look up the prerequisite courses that you need to take. Its usually one year of general chemistry and general biology, a year of organic chemistry and a year of physics (which requires calculus.)
2 :
I would advise you to avoid graduate school if at all possible. I am about to graduate from medical school this year and graduated from undergrad with a BS in math. I don't think there is any program out there that can really "prepare you" for what you will encounter during your first two years. I don't know if you have already applied to medical school in previous years. If you have a descent MCAT and descent grades during your undergraduate career, you should simply apply to medical school and see what happens. If you have a poor MCAT score, you might try taking a review class like the one offered by Princeton Review. If you do apply to medical school and are not succesful, I would take some post graduate classes before actually signing up for a masters program. Most medical schools will require you to complete a program before accepting you if you have already started it. Finally, if you are getting a masters simply for the experience and because you feel it is something that will help you in your career, I might recommend the MD/PHD program. It allows you to get your PHD in 2-3 years following your second year of medical school. I know a few people who started in this program and then dropped out of it because they decided it wasn't worth it. If you try to get a masters first you won't have this option nor will it be as valuable to you as a PHD.
3 :
I wouldn't get a masters in exercise physio bc it looks like that's what you want to do, not become a doctor. They'll question your intent, remember med schools want people 100% committed to medicine. Do the post bacc programs - BU, UMDNJ, PCOM - it will be clear from those you want to become a doc. Drexel and Georgetown also have them BTW. If you are planning on applying allopathic you need to do it at BU, Drexel or Georgetown I think. Osteopathic, do it wherever. I think those programs are great, helped me get in (I did the BU one) and I also got an MPH. Good luck!!

How's high school in USA
How's high school in USA?
I mean, is it really like in the movies with all those reputation stuff and the popular people? Is it true that if you haven't good grades at school you can't go to college? Thanks for answering!

Fairly unitarian compared to Europe. Most kids fall into the average category. Of course it's a higher standard than underdeveloped countries, but far too few go to college. Ironically, we have some of the most-douchiestly selective colleges in the world that seem to only admit billionare-legacies. Edit: Oh, sorry, you meant the social aspect. No, it's nothing like on TV, at least not in most areas of the country. For one, no one looks like they're 25, and high school's really not a big deal, or at least as big of one as it is on TV, socially speaking.
2 :
Yes for both. Although reputation is important in high school, movies tend to exaggerate it.
3 :
Kind of with both of them.. But the first one not so much, you see people from football and baseball and basketball hanging around with eachother. Its more about which sport that you are in where you know the people. I go to school in california and theres 3500 kids at my school which is a lot i think, but your grades kind of matter. You dont have to have good grades to get into a community college. But if you want to go to a university you have to have decent grades, and if you want to get a scholarship to the university you have to have outstanding grades.. hope this helps
4 :
For the first one, no, that is not true. I'm not sure if it ever was true, but surely within the last 30 years it has not existed. Most everyone is broken up eventually, and if you aren't in the bottom of the class you will not see it, as eventually the smarter students are siphoned off into a higher "track" with higher level courses than the other students, where groups do form, despite rules against them. It is absolutely true that without grades you cannot go to a GOOD college. However, here in the U.S.A. we have community colleges and other institutions for anyone wanting a college degree. You also have to be very competitive to go to a good school after high school. You have to have 100s of hours of community service and good activities (FBLA, National Honor Society, Band, Track, etc.) in order to gain acceptance to the top-tier schools. This is not to mention the work you will have to do for scholarships in order to pay for a top tier school, some who have tuition higher than the annual gross pay for many Americans.
5 :
Well, as a high school student I can safely say that the movies that you see are greatly exaggerated. Yes, we have the popular stuff and reputation is always important but they don't play as big of a role in school as portrayed on the big screen. So, maybe it's the school I go but my school's one of the biggest schools in the nation.There are some popular kids, some nerdy kids, and yes we have our cliques but it's not as severe that we need to stick to our own groups. No jock is going to be beat up your nerd (at my school, sometimes the jock IS THE nerd -- I know, take that Hollywood!) and our prom king is currently attending an Ivy League (not because he was given a football scholarship, he actually earned it academically). In most cases, people are friends regardless of cliques. We also don't shower at school even though we do have showers. And, quite honestly, marching band people aren't the people getting beaten up behind the school everyday. Yes, we have our sluts who sleep around but they're not hanging around every jock and practically humping him at school. That occurs at our dances. Yes, the dances are as bad as they make it. No, they're not all held in the gym. Prom is normally when girls wear indecently short dresses and promptly have basically public sex with clothes on with their dates. Nevertheless, the seating arrangements that you see in movies can be real in most schools, even I know that. I still walk around and join different tables if I need to. Now, onto the college aspect. In the US, we have the community college route so anyone if he/she so chooses can go to college. You don't need good grades at school just so you can go to college; it's more about the drive and ambition to go. If you go on the metro, there's ads everywhere telling you that there's scholars for people to go to college. For the good universities and colleges, yes you need good grades. But it's so much more than that: it's about your demonstrated leadership, your extracurricular and your community service. Basically, not everything comes down to grades. That's kind of what I'm hoping for as far as colleges go (my GPA sucks).

I mean, is it really like in the movies with all those reputation stuff and the popular people? Is it true that if you haven't good grades at school you can't go to college? Thanks for answering!

Fairly unitarian compared to Europe. Most kids fall into the average category. Of course it's a higher standard than underdeveloped countries, but far too few go to college. Ironically, we have some of the most-douchiestly selective colleges in the world that seem to only admit billionare-legacies. Edit: Oh, sorry, you meant the social aspect. No, it's nothing like on TV, at least not in most areas of the country. For one, no one looks like they're 25, and high school's really not a big deal, or at least as big of one as it is on TV, socially speaking.
2 :
Yes for both. Although reputation is important in high school, movies tend to exaggerate it.
3 :
Kind of with both of them.. But the first one not so much, you see people from football and baseball and basketball hanging around with eachother. Its more about which sport that you are in where you know the people. I go to school in california and theres 3500 kids at my school which is a lot i think, but your grades kind of matter. You dont have to have good grades to get into a community college. But if you want to go to a university you have to have decent grades, and if you want to get a scholarship to the university you have to have outstanding grades.. hope this helps
4 :
For the first one, no, that is not true. I'm not sure if it ever was true, but surely within the last 30 years it has not existed. Most everyone is broken up eventually, and if you aren't in the bottom of the class you will not see it, as eventually the smarter students are siphoned off into a higher "track" with higher level courses than the other students, where groups do form, despite rules against them. It is absolutely true that without grades you cannot go to a GOOD college. However, here in the U.S.A. we have community colleges and other institutions for anyone wanting a college degree. You also have to be very competitive to go to a good school after high school. You have to have 100s of hours of community service and good activities (FBLA, National Honor Society, Band, Track, etc.) in order to gain acceptance to the top-tier schools. This is not to mention the work you will have to do for scholarships in order to pay for a top tier school, some who have tuition higher than the annual gross pay for many Americans.
5 :
Well, as a high school student I can safely say that the movies that you see are greatly exaggerated. Yes, we have the popular stuff and reputation is always important but they don't play as big of a role in school as portrayed on the big screen. So, maybe it's the school I go but my school's one of the biggest schools in the nation.There are some popular kids, some nerdy kids, and yes we have our cliques but it's not as severe that we need to stick to our own groups. No jock is going to be beat up your nerd (at my school, sometimes the jock IS THE nerd -- I know, take that Hollywood!) and our prom king is currently attending an Ivy League (not because he was given a football scholarship, he actually earned it academically). In most cases, people are friends regardless of cliques. We also don't shower at school even though we do have showers. And, quite honestly, marching band people aren't the people getting beaten up behind the school everyday. Yes, we have our sluts who sleep around but they're not hanging around every jock and practically humping him at school. That occurs at our dances. Yes, the dances are as bad as they make it. No, they're not all held in the gym. Prom is normally when girls wear indecently short dresses and promptly have basically public sex with clothes on with their dates.

Where would you go to school Ecuador or USA
Where would you go to school Ecuador or USA?
Hi! I'm a 17 year old boy from Denmark. And in August month I'm planning to go for a Highschool year in a foreign country. But im not sure if I should pick Ecuador or USA ? What is your opponions about that.. ? I really want to learrn spanish and the south american culture, but I also want to learn about America and American people

Hi. I would advise Ecuador. I have a few Danish friends, and most of them have had the opportunity to come and visit the United States at some point in their adults lives. I'm sure in the future, you will also. But the opportunity to travel and stay in Ecuador long term may only come once in your life. You have probably been exposed to a lot of American culture already through movies and tv. Just make sure that your exchange program has worked with Ecuador in the past, and you will have enough credit for graduation when you return. Good luck, whatever you choose :)
2 :
I would pick the USA You will make friends whereever you go. I believe it probably would be more beneficial to you to have friends in the USA than to have friends in Ecuador. You should be able to take a spanish course while attending school in the USA.
3 :
I guess if you really want to have fun in your last year of high school, you might want to choose US. I don't know how hard it is to study in Denmark but I have friend from Slovakia and she said it's so much easier studying in US. You would have more time to "learn about America and American people". And you can take Spanish class in high school too, though study two foreign language at the same time can be pretty hard. It's also easier to get into the life in US than Ecuador, I can say for sure. Although, you will have to prepare to be shocked, as you might meet some tenth grade kids try to sell you drug, or some pregnant girls walking around the school. I don't know if it's normal in Denmark but from where I come from, it's a big shock! By the way, I'm a exchange student from VN

Universities in America are not regulated by the government, meaning that they are all very different and all have different qualifications. Good schools are going to require A levels, schools that are not as good will take GCSE's, so you will have to look around at UK admissions requirements for various schools that you might be interested in. All of the requirements will be spelled out.

Is it true that flight school in the USA is cheaper than in Europe
Is it true that flight school in the USA is cheaper than in Europe?
I mean, for example,here in Italy obtaining just a PPL to a flight school near my home, costs about 14500 US dollars is there the same?to achieve the much desired ATP(L) you need a very lot of money,and excluding the separate specific aircraft training you can spend about 150000 dollars...

Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Ever since 9/11, the US economy has been going down, which means that things cost less and people make less. However, Europe's banks are flourishing right now, so things cost more and people make more. So yes, European flight school is more expensive than U.S. flight school
2 :
The price of fuel is so much cheaper. Also there are more aircraft and flight schools to keep competition up and prices down.
3 :
When you compare fuel prices, availability of small training aircraft, total number of schools, less restrictive flight environment and finally... The exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Euro... Yes, American flight schools are less expensive
4 :
Yes, it is much less expensive. In the US, it generally costs about $8000 (5500 Euros) USD to earn your private pilot certificate. To complete your ICAO-recognized Commercial certificate, with instrument and multiengine ratings would cost about $25,000 (17,000 Euros) to complete. I have worked with 2 flying students who came to the US specifically to earn their pilot certificate. It was cheaper to do it here (counting travel, housing and ancillary expenses) than it was to do it in their home country of England.
