Yeah there are jocks and nerds. We have cliques like in the movies, but we're not as bad as in the movies. No one does what they do in most of the movies, for the most part.
2 :
I was home schooled so I don't know. I'm only answering cause I'm curious what other people are saying and I want to be able to find this question easily.
3 :
Most high schools in the U.S. do have the different groupings of people like jocks, nerds, etc, but its not as noticable or as bad as the movies show it... movies over-dramatize everything.
4 :
Of course it's not the same. Movies and TV exaggerate everything. At my school, there were cliques. But they weren't super exclusive. If you wanted to be friends with a group of people, you just talked to them. The cheerleaders did not wear their uniforms every single day. The football players didn't throw the nerds into the trash cans. For the most part, everyone was pretty civil with each other.
5 :
Yes there are jocks, nerds, cheerleaders, ect. This can not be avoided because everyone likes different things and the people with common interests make clicks.
6 :
haha. come over and find out :) you can't really learn much about other places unless you actually go there. I've lived in 3 countries and you never know what to expect until you actually go, no matter how much research you do
7 :
All high schools are different, but they really are not similar to how movies and television depict them to be, at least at my school. There are, however, groups and cliques, but most people I know are very kind and accepting.

Philippine high school graduate = USA

Philippine high school graduate = USA?
My son is a recent high school graduate from a catholic school in the Philippines. If we ask him to continue his studies in the US, will he go back to being a high school student again or can he take up any college course? Any link about US education evaluation and requirements would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What he needs to do. If he is a High School Student and wants to go to College in the USA, he will: 1. Needs to contact a school that is authorized by the Federal Government to accept international students. Ergo is authorized to issue and process an I-20 document certifying that he has been accepted and qualified to study in that institution. 2. During the application correspondence, the institution will send you an application packet. This will guide you on the application process. for further readings on this topic. Go to www.uscis.gov and click search on the topic F1 visa. But if you want to fast track things, go to www.zoni.com. Its an english course that is accredited to issue I-20 for F1 Visa application.

do you mean "Middle School"?
2 :
it would be a secondary school in other countries. Primary = Grade School; Secondary = Middle School or Junior High School; Preparatory = High School.
3 :
I think I know what you are asking.... maybe You go to elementary school either K-5 or K-6 Then it branches off to either middles school or junior high. Middles school is 6-8 and Junior High is 7-9 So obviously depending on where you took elementary school, you will go to eithe a middle school or junior high. Then high school is either 9-12 or 10-12. Then you have the option to go to college wich is 1-8 depending on how long you stay of corse.

6 :
Do you mean MIDDLE school? Well it's really lame, people are very judgmental in middle school, and in middle school everyone thinks if you don't wear preppy cloths your a loser. But in a nutshell it's super lame. I hated middle school. High school is so much better, people don't care what you wear. I love high school.
7 :
American junior high schools (7-9) were created to give elementary school students a bridge to senior high school. Junior high schools are structured like senior high schools - organized into academic departments. The junior high school concept traditionally was not collegial or personal enough for student advancement. Middle schools (6-8) were created to allow teachers to work in 'teams.' The idea was for a team of teachers to share a group of students. The team would collaborate on assignments and activities. Most importantly, the middle school student was expected to benefit from the arrangement as the teachers communicated with each other about the student's strengths and weaknesses.

3 :
from us news 2007 1 Princeton University 2 Harvard University 3 Yale University
4 :
UC Berkeley MIT Stanford how about that for best colleges! I want to go to MIT. Like that is ever going to happen. Only for genuises (did I spell that rong?)
5 :
A school is only what you make of it. Some can offer more resources than others but it ultimately depends on wether you take advantage of it or not.
6 :
Top 3? That depends on what you consider top? For different programs, different schools around the US are better. For example, Reed College in Portland Oregon refuses to take part of the U.S. News and World Report rankings. They are considered to have some of the best intellectuals in the country there. MIT has a much better computer science and engineering school than Harvard or Yale. Once again, it all depends on what you consider to be "top."
7 :
What a ridiculous and stupid question. The correct answer is to do some research in your field of interest and determine what the best colleges are for you. But that would require work, and you're not up for it. So yeah, Harvard and Yale. And pick Princeton. Sure.
