It is so important to be informed.  You can't make decisions based on the junk that is shoved at you from every media angle.  Every news station has an agenda, and they know what demographic is watching, and what they want to hear.  It's all about ratings for them.  This is why you need to be in the know yourself.  It is a responsibility we all have as Americans, and alot of people fought very hard to maintain this, the very least we can do is care about the land in which we live enough to involve ourselves in its betterment.

Ask the childs' teacher. I believe you can find out local information on the internet.

Preparation for high school.  usually grades 6-8 but schools vary on that.  stressful but if you get your butt to class and pay attention and do your homework you will do fine.

from the day we are born, we are taught, we learn this from our parents, grand parents ,siblings ,other family members. we than go to school for at least 12 years, we are taught again  by many people, many different teachers,  this adds to the already being taught by  the family. now teachers, perhaps ministers and  priests, other children are perhaps teaching us to at this time. at 18 we are an adult,  those who go onto a higher education are now taught by a whole new group of teachers, those of us who dont go on to higher education are self taught. now we can vote ,the polititions are now teaching us how it works.  there are so many things we have learned through our wholelife but it was taught to us, it was manatory. although we may dissagree with the things we are taught in this life, we are taught choice. so to answer your question, parents teachers ministers goverment has to un teach us things, after all it all starts with them.  unlearning something after you,ve been taught it for years, after society teaches you it, is a imposible dream. i say learn all you can learn, but learn you have a choice, and make those choices wise, we also learn that.

This is very popular in the UK, tho' I couldn't tell you the exact number. Kids leave school at 18, having secured a place at uni, but before they go, spend a year or so travelling, perhaps working abroad. This is one of many sites which offer advice:\nhttp://www.gogapyear.com/

Not really sure...but the UK Department for Education and Skills is a good place to start (probably) check out their website

I wish I could tell you. Why don't you ask your school administrator office or someone in the school personnel I'm sure they should be able to tell you all the information you need on this subject.

Not much happened during the war years. There were several changes during the 1950s. I can only tell you what I know from my own experience. I left school aged 15 in 1953.  I was in a selective Central School and to enter I had to pass an 11 plus examination.  Some of my friends did a further examination to go on to either a Technical School to specialise in technical subjects or a Grammar School to specialise in languages and literature. Many of my friends stayed on at school to do the General Certificate of Education that was then being introduced into schools in preparation for a wider opportunity for children to enter higher education.  I expect that you should be able to find more information on the Internet especially on the Department of Education and Science web site.  I do not know the address but if you type in the words in your search engine it should come up with options.

Changing the driving age from 16 to 18 (yes they are talking about it,) banning drugs (pot use), smoking laws (banning smoking in public places). The pledge of alligeance (should you have to say under god, should it be said in schools?) Hope this helps

Older and serious people want to hear about politics. Younger people want to hear entertainment news. About me, I like hearing celebrity gossips and any info involving science & biology

It depends the school policy. You can ask your teacher or maybe your principle, then..

The problem with government and schools is that every 4 to 8 years, when a new president is elected, there is a new agenda for schools.  Maybe some standardization that is constant for years to come will see progress
