College/Sixth-form is 'school' from ages 16-18

2017-06-19 10:44:25 UTC  

well, it's just more math in the simplest terms haha

2017-06-19 10:45:04 UTC  

and i meant the progression from how its structured here, from calc 1, 2, 3, differential equations, and beyond

2017-06-19 10:45:15 UTC  

The point I'm making is that if you enjoy maths then you have a good chance of enjoying university maths, but it's harder to make the comparison than in most other STEM subjects.

2017-06-19 10:45:23 UTC  

Yeah no idea what the progression in US is

2017-06-19 10:45:41 UTC  

ah ok, we have kindergarten, then grades 1-12 typically

2017-06-19 10:46:10 UTC  

and 8-12 is high school, most in 12 are 18 or or will be 18

2017-06-19 10:46:41 UTC  

what do you mean about comparison to STEM subjects?

2017-06-19 10:47:15 UTC  

If you enjoy Physics at school there's a good chance you'll enjoy Physics at university, if you are university material.

2017-06-19 10:48:07 UTC  

If you enjoy Maths at school then you'll probably enjoy Physics or most STEM subjects but Maths is less likely. Maths has a really poor retention and satisfaction rate and that's because it's a *very* different game to school, where you're mostly just learning maths to help with the sciences.

i hate physics, had to take 5 semesters of it though

2017-06-19 10:48:32 UTC  

That's not really what I meant

2017-06-19 10:48:49 UTC  

what did you mean then

2017-06-19 10:48:51 UTC  

See the problem here is you have a very different outlook on this since you don't specialise like we do

2017-06-19 10:49:03 UTC  

wasn't familiar with your acronym for STEM, had to look it up, had me confused for a second

2017-06-19 10:49:16 UTC  

what do you mean we don't specialize?

2017-06-19 10:49:19 UTC  

Yeah the divide is getting in the way a bit

2017-06-19 10:49:37 UTC  

i've spent years studying a very specialized curriculum

2017-06-19 10:50:15 UTC  

This is a little tiresome, sorry, what I was saying applies to UK people I don't know much about the US system

2017-06-19 10:50:21 UTC  

I've got stuff to do

2017-06-19 10:50:34 UTC  

cheers

2017-06-19 10:50:51 UTC

Okay, I'll tell people you're going for a hike instead

2017-06-19 10:51:39 UTC  

>There aren't any definitions for GTKRWN yet.

2017-06-19 10:51:39 UTC  

good

2017-06-19 10:51:47 UTC  

sounds better

2017-06-19 10:51:50 UTC

*sigh* it was for an Iron March friend.

2017-06-19 10:54:20 UTC  

@SDifference - would you like a definition?

2017-06-19 10:54:45 UTC  

Submit it to Urban Dictionary

2017-06-19 10:55:38 UTC  

That sounds like a dangerous thing to do. I'm going to do it.

2017-06-19 10:56:07 UTC  

I have some really....interesting things on urbndictionary hahaha

2017-06-19 10:56:36 UTC  

I joined TRS today, it's confusing. I'm just gonna lurk.

2017-06-19 10:56:37 UTC

2017-06-19 10:56:49 UTC
