You should make a thread series about them.

Can someone explain what the names for the grades of American school mean? And a basic layout of the school system would also be appreciated. I'm feeling confuzzled.

seconded. I have no idea :upset:

Yeh, i wanna know that too.

And yeh, i could make threads on them in the pit, but id get flamed to hell by idiots with big egos like jimmybowles.

Don't let John (Jimmybowels) scare ya off, he's a nice guy at heart. There are much much much bigger egos in the pit than his.

Hey, SOP, what was your former username?

Yeah, I'm interested in knowing what the hell sophomore's etc, are. I'm guessing sophomore's are year 10, but I'm fairly clueless.

I don't understand how he can spam SO MUCH. Any thread that opens and BAM! hes in there with some pointless spam.

Their talking about broccoli and carrots in this thread that a guy started about guitar lessons. Gah.

What is spam in here isn't spam in the pit. The Pit has very loose rules. :)

I just don't see the point constantly posting total sh[i]i[/i]te. But thats just me.

Quite a lot of what he posts is funny or has a point to it. Just a matter of opinion really.

[quote]Jimmybowels posts too much.[/quote]
He has a ppd of less than 20, some people have twice that.

K - 6 is labeled Grade School

7-8 is labeled Middle School or Junior High

9-12 is labeled High School from Freshman, Sophmore, Junior to Senior in that order of grade levels.

Cool. Well, to inform people of Australia:

[b]Pre-school[/b]
Mostly 4-5 year olds, though many parents send their kids to a prepatory year.

[b]Primary School[/b]
This level has 7 grades, and most kids are 5-6 when they enter Grade 1.

[b]High School[/b]
Featuring Grades 8-12, this level sees children around 13/14 entering and mainly 17/18 year olds leaving. It is also to leave formal schooling in year 10, but you must have a fulltime job, or apprenticeship lined up.

Thanks bobo.

On the matter of PPD, That Akuyeri (sp?) had a PPD of 100 :amaze:

/has 3 PPD >_>

Crazy queensladers. We NSW people start high school in grade 7! The proper way :p

Akeyuri changed his name to Damien Rhodes. I remember when I got 30 ppd, I cut back in fear of being too "nerdy"... :p

Yeah, well, you've got a postcount less than me, but you've been here nearly 3 years longer. :p That means you have more of a life then me. :shakes hand:

It's all about how much time you waste on here. I waste lots, I just dont post that much.. so it doesnt look as bad to others

Not as bad as me, you mean. :upset:

I forgot how to check my PPD, but I assume it's in the 3-4 range...of course, considering I took a few months off MX in the spring.

3.34 per day for you.


23.42 for me. :upset:

Where do you check that stuff, or will I have to bust out old Calcy 186?

nevermind, I found it. 1.86 looks alright

someone quick, tell me how to convert itune files :(

[QUOTE=Kingofdudes]someone quick, tell me how to convert itune files :([/QUOTE]

From what? to what?

Have you got itunes?

yeah I have Itunes. I want to convert M4a to mp3

hxxp://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0U8VBVIJV1S0Q2HC0ALPFHFKOF

Here is a midi of drums + bass

If someone would convert it to a wav file using fruity loops or something I'd be a happy man, I have tried doing it but i suck with fruity loops and it wouldn't even play through it :(

KingOfDudes - In itunes...go to edit/preferences...then choose mp3 and the bit rate you want...then right click the song in your itunes library and select convert to mp3 :)

can you export it to wav in iTUnes? if so then use an mp3 encoder
if not go look for foobar2000 becase that can do it

[url]http://www.foobar2000.org/[/url] and [url]http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/[/url] are the two best resources I can think of for your situation

Thanks guys, but im not sure if I have enough time now. Ill see you all once the hurricane is gone/when we get power back.


edit: actually I do have time, thanks

LeperAffinity has a program which does that in his Soulseek files. He isn't online right now, so I can't get the name :(

His Soulseek is Leper_Affinity if you want to try when he is online next.

[QUOTE=Kingofdudes]yeah I have Itunes. I want to convert M4a to mp3[/QUOTE]

Edit > Preferences

Select Importing

Change the encoder to "mp3 encoder"

Right-click all the m4a files in your library.

Select "convert selection to mp3."

Hey Jelle: pick up your pants, your asscrack is showing.

If you can't appreciate my art, you're stoopid. :mad:

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Can someone explain what the names for the grades of American school mean? And a basic layout of the school system would also be appreciated. I'm feeling confuzzled.[/QUOTE]

grades kindergarten through 5 - elementary school
grades 6 through 8 - middle school/junior high
grades 9 through 12 (freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior in that order) - high school

It varies in some places--in some places elementary school is grades K-8, or K-6, or whatever, but that's what it was in my school.

:eek: Jelle! Why?!

Actually, I really don't mind it.

NP: Anthrax - This is Not an Exit

If anyone is interested in good, mid-90's metal, download this now plz.

My school -

K-2 - Elementary
3-4 - I dont know what its called but it was a different school
5-7 - Middle School
8-12 - High school

That is the wierdest school system I have ever seen though none others go like this.

Not my school system, but an adjacent city's:

K-5: Elementary
6-7: Middle
8-9: Jr. High
10-12: High

It wouldn't really be stupid if they didn't still have the freshmen play with the high schoolers on sports teams.

What is that stuff that Australians put on their bread and stuff, its like worst tasting thing ever, its all brown. Its killing me that I cant remember the name.

EDIT : I remembered, its veggiemite.

Marmite?

Edit: At least I got part of it right
