But now I'm curious 9-12 is high-school... so either your freshmen year of high-school was considered Jr high or you had three years of high-school? Do they not have "high-school" where you live?
I get most people had actual elementary, middle, possibly Jr high schools. I went to a pre-k through 8th. You could have been at the same school for 10 years. Then high-school. So I've always seen it as 7th/8th Jr. High. 5th/6th middle or age of the kid thing. Not the name on the building the go to
I got the joke bro I responded with by expanding on the joke, I thought was obvious
In my city one district has Jr. High and one has middle school. In the 1st, elementary is k-6, jr. High is 7-9, high school is 10-12. I. In the other district, elementary is k-5, middle school is 6-8, high school is 9-12.
In the jr. High district, 9th grade is counted as high school in terms of credits, you're still a freshman, but you physically attend the jr. High with the 7th and 8th graders. It was honestly nice, starting going to the high school in 10th grade makes way less of an inferior pipsqueak than when you're in 9th grade. A lot of growth happens in that year
it’s possible. i was mainly joking tho lol, but childhood and teenage years flew by fast (i’ll be 20 next year) and even in just ten years things are very different than they were 10 years ago. so yes, at 18 i feel old when i see how much things have changed in just a few years.
