Did you know parents are not obliged to send their children to school in the UK?
I just want to let you know that you can home educate your children completely legally, and there is alot of support available to you. One hour a day is enough for young primary school aged children. Having studied, been through private education and seen my sister and brothers go through state education. I disagree with state education given in this country. It's rigid and rarely teaches children things they're interested it. The government bends the education and qualification styles to try and make people that THEY want in their society. and really who can afford private education. There are so many points that I would be happy to discuss if you want to know more.

most likly yea because a US dollar here is .50 cents there

Are you referring to state schools? if so they are free for British Citizens and foreigners with a resident visa. There are basically three types of 'Secondary Schools': The first one are schools that depend financially on the Local Authority; the State School or Comprehensive Schools which are utterly free - they even provide for stationary, note books (exercise books) and text books. The next category includes Grammar Schools, which are expensive and hard to get into unless you are a bright person, and lastly the privately funded schools or Private Schools which are even more expensive.

its also free to study in universities in germany and in france. I know of one program where you can even go and get a masters degree without paying one cent in tuition. its a fabulous program, free higher education, but there is talk of changing it. so if you get a chance to go, grab it before it is too late.

I assume you're from the US, and thus when you say "school" you mean university. Note that, in the UK, "school" pretty much means schooling before age 16. "College" is also another term they use differently. So when one of the answerers here wrote about "grammar" schools and etc., they weren't talking university. It is rather expensive for a US citizen to study in the UK. However, the cost of the best university in the UK - Oxford or Cambridge - even with the exchange rate, the higher international tuition rate, and the fact that you won't get US government financial aid, is less than that of comperable universities in the US, such as Harvard - but only if Harvard didn't give you any financial aid. So, if you know you won't be getting any financial aid in the US, and if you're planning to pay the full price of tuition and etc. anyway, then going to university in the UK can be a relative bargain. But going to university in Canada would be even cheaper. Again, talking comparable colleges and paying the full price. Thing is, there aren't a lot of scholarships for US students to study in at UK universities. And you won't qualify for US financial aid. And worse, the exchange rate right now is crap*. So, if you can get into a good US private university and get some financial aid, or get into a good state school, you'd likely do better, financially, by staying in the US. You can choose to do a year abroad through your US university, and go to the UK then. The best universities in the UK are the following: - Oxford - Cambridge - King's College, London - London School of Economics - University College, London - Imperial College, London - Manchester University - Edinburgh University - Bristol University - School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London * The way I calculate the US/UK exchange rate right now is this: I look at the UK price (say, 8,000 GBP), and double it. Then minus a tiny bit. That's the price in US dollars. So, if tuition were $8,000 GBP, it'd be the rough equivalent of about, say, $14,000 US. Not exact math, but it serves. Someone, above, mentioned that some schools in Europe are tuition free. They are. In some countries, it's only free for residents of that country, or for citizens. Often, you must be fluent in the local language. Iceland, for example; also the Czech Republic. Tuition is very low cost or free, but you must speak Czech. Very, very well.

Is the University grading system different in the UK than the USA
Is the University grading system different in the UK than the USA?
I transfered from a university in the UK to the USA. My UK school was fully accredited in the USA. Any class that I had a D grade in will not count as transferable credit. Some credits didnt transfer and i dont think its fair because the UK grading system is different and I need those credits.

A grade of D does not constitute as a passable grade if either the U.K. or the U.S. A grade of D is considered a fail and an unsatisfactory ability and knowledge of the subject and thus is nontransferable. If you didn't think it was fair and you needed those credits, then you only have yourself to blame and you should have studied harder. A C or above is required to pass a class. Anything below will not count as credit and will be something you will have to retake. There is no way around it, you just have to study harder. There is no special rule, all students regardless of nationality are assessed the same way. You need a minimum of C grade to pass a class.
