Actually it's quite similar to yours. It's just compulsary schooling is done accross 3 schools not 2. I like it because Year 7s mixed with the same school as Year 13s must be intimidatin since they'd be like half the size of them lol.

Yes, and years 7 - 9 don't actually do anything. And lots of people get stuck in this mindset, and don't do anything for years 10 and 11 either. Then they fail. Same probably happens with the middle school system, just the clean break might make the difference.

Actually I am probably guilty of that, primary school I was considered you know clever and such, now obviously less competition as the primary school i attended was tiny, but still. This continued into year six with the 'new school, must try' syndrome but then everything goes stale. I managed to scrape an adequet 6,7,7 in my year 9 sats after trying a little more in year 9. But yeah, it is true theres just something about those years that just...
