Re: Off Topic and back
"School" seems to used in a number of different ways in the states.
Just so we are all on the same page - for us brits (:
School* = primary 5-10, Secondary 11-16 (secondary is where you do General Certificates Secondary Education - GCSEs. English, maths and a few other things are core and then the student picks some options GCSEs. Thus you have a maths GCSE mark (A* to ungraded), English etc. None of those subjects are considered Majors.
College/6th form (Further Education) = 16-18. Numerous courses but for our purposes the A-level (or to be technical Advanced-GCSE) is the important one. The A-Levels you can take are decided by your GCSEs and your Degree course is decided by your A-level results. None of those subjects are considered Majors.
University (Higher Education)= 18 onwards. This is where you do your Degree. Never referred to as school (however some departments are called schools). Some courses are refered to in Major/Minor terms. But generally we don't think of it in those terms. Most courses are purely Major with no minor if you follow me.....
* There are some quirks but that is basically it.
