Post a pic of it!  :viking:

I am going to go to the bank, then to the cable company headquarters to straighten out my bill, then to my medication appointment,
then to the supermarket, and then I will return here to post until it's time for my evening job!  :headbang2:

Going to practise riding a bus with my son. He needs to start doing it to get to school.

Oh, thanks for reminding me. Need to find out about bus passes for my daughter. She'll need one next week.

My son's riding the bus by himself now. He's a bit shaky about it but he's doing great.

Excellent. It will get easier in time. He is :viking: and will reap the rewards!

Yeah, it does get easier. Today he seemed a lot calmer about it.

I'm glad. Soon he will be an old pro.  :thumbup:

Poor kid has other worries. It's a new school and he doesn't know anyone.

What's his age?

Mine is facing the same. She's both dreading it, and looking forward.

He's going to be 16 later this autumn. It's the first year of secondary school.

That early? How many years of primary school do you have?

Kindergarten is now incorporated in primary school. That makes 8 years of primary school.

Secondary school varies, from 4 to 6 years. My girl will go for the six years discourse.

Is secondary school compulsory?

Yes, it is. Till the class a child is in at age 16 is finished, kids have to go to school on a daily basis. Till age 18 they have to go to school if they have not finished a curriculum yet.

A child has to follow 12 years of education at least. (If it skips a class, because of being so ahead of it's peers, the skipped class will be counted as a year too)

Children have to go to school the moment they are 5 years old. Most kids start at age 4 though.

Secondary school is not compulsory here. It probably should be - unemployment is bad enough as it is.
