Anders informed
rec.skiing.nordic with the following: Gene Goldenfeld kirjoitti: Glad you wrote this. Myths abound. One small qualification, I think, and this may speak to the Vordenberg reference, is that if your high schools are in the European style, they last one year longer (or later) than the American. At 19, that's an important year for development. They cover 10th to 12th grades and one usually enters 1st grade the year one reaches the age of 7. But, indeed, these kind of sports school offer an option to stretch it ouf for four years. Actually, I think your information is bit outdated: for quite some years already lukio (the school you apparently describe above) has been course-based and you can individually choose how fast or slow you want pass enough courses to graduate. And if I haven't understood wrong the number of obligatory courses in physical education/sports one has to take has become minimal. Also you can split the matriculation exam tests between the events in autumn and spring. Obviously, those who attend schools orientating in sports may more often take the longer path option. Anders (who does remember the times when every graduating class had up a couple of usually male students who had doubled one year at some point...) It has been quite long since I passed matriculation exam too, but I have had contacts in those circles... -- Heikki "Hezu" Kantola, Lähettämällä mainoksia tai muuta asiatonta sähköpostia yllä olevaan osoitteeseen sitoudut maksamaan oikolukupalvelusta EUR100 alkavalta tunnilta. |
