oh, they've changed it now, for my age-ish & below you can't leave until you're 18, unless you go to a college or another sixth form.
and then you gotta do AS levels and I see stuff around school that's like 'A2' 'A1' I only know about gcse's atm looool

 

[MickeyisBeast]

don't you guys have to do certain things just to graduate?

lol we don't. xD

Yes. We've got to get 27, or 26- I cannot remember, credits to graduate (if you pass a class, you get a credit). I've already got one credit, for taking Algebra I a year early, in 8th grade. So I'm ahead of most kids in my grade. You're also got to pass the SATs. And now they're bringing back the Senior Project. But I doubt they'll keep it long.

We don't pick all of our classes. We have to take whatever math you're on, English, whatever science you're on, and whatever social studies you're on.

But you can double up on maths, for example. And take Geometry one semester and then Algebra II the second semester. So you can be ahead and not have to take a math your senior year. You've got to complete 4 math credits, 4 english credits, 3 science credits, and 3 social studies credits. They're about to change it to 4 social studies credits though. Which I'm fine with

That was a really long, boring, and confusing explanation. Sorry.

When did this change happen?


How do I send a complaint to Cartoon Network? I want to complain about what they've done to Cartoon Cartoons! It used to show Chowder, Flapjack, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Lab, Ed, Edd & Eddy, Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, etc. From what's been on since i've been watching it today, it's been:

Chowder
Ben 10: Alien Force
Flapjack
Chowder

a praline is a pecan? I always thought it was a hazelnut, haha

 

[LondonUnderground]

American and British pralines are different, America's are basically sugar coated pecans and ours are chocolates filled with praline filling, mostly, I think.

 

[LondonUnderground]

'In the United Kingdom, the term can refer either to praline (the filling for chocolates) or, less commonly, to the original whole-nut pralines.
In Europe, the nuts are usually almonds or sometimes hazelnuts.'

ahhhh

 

[MickeyisBeast]

what in the world is a praline?
I have never in my life heard of that before.

First, I LOVE PRALINE. And I say it like "pray-leen", idk if that's right..

well, you gotta pass your gcse's, but even if you don't pass them you can still leave school.
but you take them when you're 16 and you're not allowed to leave school until you're 18 so...

I thought that only applied to current year 7/8s?

No, you can leave school at 16. A Levels are optional, but pretty much everyone does them anyway, because you can get better jobs.

I might be switching my A levels to something else. I have to go see the career guidancey people about it.

oh, they've changed it now, for my age-ish & below you can't leave until you're 18, unless you go to a college or another sixth form.
and then you gotta do AS levels and I see stuff around school that's like 'A2' 'A1' I only know about gcse's atm looool

Oh sucks lol.
It's AS and A2, you can do just AS and get qualifications if you want. I might finish this year and get AS levels and then start again in a different college doing different A levels.
And for my year and below, you have to put your AS results on your university applications instead of of just your A2 predictions.

and I'm sitting here, waiting for you to make the first move.
and I'm waiting here, thinking about what will happen.
and I'm thinking here, dreaming of what we could be.
and I'm dreaming here, and now I cannot wait.

Except mine came with mini marshmallows. It's also white chocolate, not milk chocolate

It's amazing.

 

[MickeyisBeast]

Did you know white chocolate isn't even chocolate? It's not actually made from cocoa. It's some sort of gel type thing.

So that's disgusting. Once I found that out, it turned me off of white chocolate. Nasty.
