Hey Greg, thanks for writing back.  I didn't have school today, because 
It's a Jewish Holiday.  We had to go to temple for TWO HOURS.  I thought 
I was gonna die.  The rabbi couldn't keep a bunch of dead people

practice you mating calls on your trumpet? <grin>.  I made a sorry

 I can kinda, not really play the harmonica  (well, I have one 
anyway...)  Next, I want to learn the guitar.  Well, 
so.....ummmmm...Uh-Oh, I seem to be at a loss for words, here.  How 
about family?  Do you have any brothers, or sisters?  (dogs, cats, 
hamsters, snakes, alligators, elephants...???)  What grade are you in? 
I can't remember if you told me or not...Well, I've gotta go finish

Yea things a pretty well in Finland, except there is such a bad economical depression but damn we will get over it! If you want be exchange student, try to get into Rotary exchange progaram. It is the best and the cheapest way! Rotarys dont take money at all, all you have to pay is flights and insurances. And Rotary families are usualluy very good. If you go to exchange student, go to some country you dont know anything about! (For example Fin(est)land!) Okay tell me something about
yourself and your hobbies. (So I get longer message next time:))

Hello Ian.  So, you're from near Britain?  cool.  Do you have an english 
accent?  You wanted to know what else I do apart from this, huh?  I 
spend a lot of time on my computer.  But lessee...I have been in karate 
for 5 years.  And I scuba dive.  I love the mountains, but I can only do 
that in the summer, because the highest point in florida is 326 feet, so 
as you might be able to imagine, there are no mountains here.  I also 
enjoy going to church, which I do 2 times a week.  I hang out with my 
friends a lot, and like to run around...What grade are you in?  and how 
old are you?  I am in 12th grade, and 17 years old.  WEll, I'll talk to 
ya later i hope...c-ya...

Hi Bradley,

That sounds similar to the British system.  You start at year 1 when you are 4 or 5 in a primary school.  You work your way up through the years until you reach year 7.  This is the first year of high school and you spend 3 years (Including year 7) studying a wide range of topics.  At year 10 you start you GSCE's (Usually 8 or 9 of them) which are the old `O' levels.  After year 11 you can choose whether to go on to college or a sixth form and do your `A' levels.

Yes, in Britain the government are trying to impose a new plan that will assess the *whole* country on the same level with every child at every state school learning exactly the same thing.  It is rather stupid when you think about it and the courses are also very badly designed.  There is also so much paperwork that teachers do not have a much time to devote to students.  And then there's the lack of money .... But I will not get on my soap box about that right now; I'd never stop :-)

Well if you really are considering going on to higher education over here then please let me know and I will put you in touch with some people I know.  Do let me know how you get on !
