What's Sixth form?
And btw, anyone here live in Minnesota?
...Anyone?
*crickets chirping*
The English secondary school system works like this:
KEY STAGE 3:
Year 7 (Age 11/12)
Year 8 (Age 12/13)
Year 9 (Age 13/14; this year most students take Key Stage Three SATs tests. Students also choose their 8 or so GSCE test options.)
KEY STAGE 4:
Year 10 (Age 14/15)
Year 11 (Age 15/16; this year you take your GSCE tests. After this year some people leave school altogether, and some people switch schools.)
KEY STAGE 5/SIXTH FORM:
Year 12 (Age 16/17; this year you take AS exams, the first part of your A-Level. Students generally choose about 4 A-Levels.)
Year 13 (17/18; this year you take the second part of your A-Level exams, the A2 exams.)
Then you leave school. After this generally people have a gap year, then go to university/college, but there are variations.
Hope that clears it up.

Awww, so cute! Congratulations! :D
Hey, why wait until they can read, drill it into them whilst they are young, that way they will always remember it as their earliest memory, and so will always come back to it :D
Just make sure they don't slobber on the books :eek::D
