Seraphic Deviltry 2007-11-04 ch 1,	abuseOmG I think I’m in love with your main character. The dude wears eyeliner! My friends have always dissed me about going for boys exactly like our dear Lindon. I don't care eyeliner-bois are hot and thats the end of that. In case you couldn't tell I love this story. Unfortunately can't help you with the timetable as I am Australian and have no idea about the American school system.

It's really funny, love Lindon's reaction to Chris', erm, attention... :) "I was wearing eyeliner, did I look like he was going to be good at sports?" Lol! I love it!

Liviania 2007-04-21 ch 1,	abuseMy high school is a touch odd because we do block scheduling, but I know how standard schedules go. There are usually eight or nine periods plus lunch, though seniors might have less subjects (early dismissal or late arrival). One of those periods is advisory, which is about a half-hour to do homework or attend club meetings (Student Council, NHS, bridge club, FCCLA, FFA, chess club, book club, anime club, Art Club, etc.). The other periods are usually forty-five minutes to an hour long (a schoolday is eight hours long). The core subjects are math, English, science, and social studies. It depends from school to school and due to the students scholastic ability, but the typical levels of the core subjects are: Freshman: English I, Geography, Biology I, Algebra I or Geometry Sophomore: English II, World History, Chemistry I, Geometry or Algebra II Junior: English I, US History, Physics I or Chem II or Bio II, Algebra II or Pre-Calculus Senior: English IV, US Gov/Economics, Physics II or Chem II or Bio II, Pre-Cal or Calculus Most classes are offered in both regular and honors form. Honors classes tend to be Pre-AP (prep for advanced placement) or AP. AP classes are taught on a college level, with tests taken in May that determine whether the student recieves college credit for the course. (Scored 1-5, one being miserable, 3 being pass, 5 being fantastic). Calculus can be taken as regular Cal or AP Cal AB (review of Pre-Cal + first semester Calculus) or AP Cal BC (two semesters of college level Calculus, taken only by top students). The other periods are electives. Typically one is a fine arts elective (art, theater, band, choir, or orchestra) and another is a PE class (plain or Athletics, Athletics equalling a specific sport). Most schools give a PE waiver to band kids who do marching band. One of the other electives is usually used on foreign language: Spanish, French, or German. Larger schools might offer Latin and Japanese, though sometimes you might need to be bused to a larger campus to take them. At least one year a student takes a computer class. Other electives are typically based on the students interest. Common offerings might be computer science, creative writing, humanities, tech theater . . . Anyway, you get "credits" for taking classes. One credit for two semesters, 1/2 credit for one semester. To graduate, most schools require 24 credits. Four English, three science, three social science, 1/2 economics, 1/2 health, three math, two and 1/2 PE, three fine arts, one computer, rest to be distributed among electives . . . it varies from school to school, but typically they're divided fairly similarly. There is a midterm exam before winter break and finals before school lets out, although some high schools set requirements for exemptions (such as must have an 80 or above, no more than three absences). Classes are graded on a 100 point scale, GPAs on a 4-point. 90+=A, 4.0 80=B, 3.0 75=C, 2.5 70=D, 2.0 69-=F (failing) Letter or 100 point grades are assigned to each class, typically in six six-week marking periods. Three of these are averaged with a midterm or final grade to make a semester grade. Semester grades for all classes are averaged to make GPA. GPA determines class rank. Most schools now "weight" honors classes to put them on a 5.0 GPA scale (ie, a B in honors equals an A in regular classes). This gives an advantage to honors students when ranking is determined. The top ten percent have a better chance of earning scholarships and being accepted to college. Taken in junior year or early senior year are SAT and ACT tests. These are standardized tests for use in college admission. (They let the college know how you compare in the nation, not just how well you do at your high school). SAT is graded on a 2400-point scale, 800 points for the math section, 800 for critical reading, 800 for writing. The writing section is new, so schools don't pay much attention to it yet. A 1600 for math and critical reading is still considered a perfect score. The ACT is scored on a 36-point scale, with a 33 being in the 90th percentile. The composite score is determined from averaging scores in a science, math, reading, writing, and something else section. It can be taken with an essay portion or without. Some colleges also require SAT subject tests, which are scored on an 800-point scale. They come in specific subjects, such as literature, mathematice, US History, and Korean. That's all I can think of right now . . . oh wait! There are four kinds of dress codes: None-uber rare Dress code-usually determines how long shorts/skirts need to be, bans midriff bearing tops and spaghetti straps, sometimes regulates shoes (no stilletos or flip-flops, for example) Standardized dress-students have a selection of approved colors of shirts and pants/skirts that they can wear Uniform-students have a uniform The majority of schools used to use a dress code, but most are moving to standardized dress. Most also require the wearing of an ID-card around the neck. (Usually has a photo of student, student's year, and name of the school on it.) Students individualize their ID card by sticking stickers on the back and finding interesting lanyards. Okay, now that's really all I can think of right now. Not much social info, but I'm a bit tired of typing. You can e-mail me if you think any of this is helpful and you want more. Fun first chapter! Wow, Lindon immediately ran into a very forward boy.

Niki Lemonade 2007-04-17 ch 1,	abuseI adored this! I can't wait for the next chapter, and the step-brother. I can't offer that much information about private schools, as I'm certain they're different from public schools, which are all poor little ol' me can afford! ~Lemons

philipa1234 2007-04-13 ch 1,	abusereally good can't wait to read more... American schedule depends on what school you go to... either the schedule is made up by the school (everyone does the same subjects) or they give you a certain amount of subjects you can choose... depends on the state... At my school we get to choose 3-4 classes as a sophmore (10) School is usually starts at around 8-9 and ends at around 2:45- 3... Usual classes involve science, soical studied, english, a foreign language, a math... If you need anymore help I can help with any other ?'s k I hope that helped. Update soon! I REALLY ENJOYED THIS STORY ! :)-
Da-c0nfu53d-1 2007-04-13 ch 1,	abuseThis story's funny! I remember when I moved to America, but I didn't go to a high school so I can't help you with the timetable thing - unless it's the same for primary schools and high schools, which I seriously doubt. Quick question: How do you pronounce 'Sian', does it sound similar to 'Siobahn', as in 'sh-'? So it sounds like 'Shan'? or does it sound like 'see-an'? Just curious. ~D@-c0nfu53d-1
allgoodthings 2007-04-13 ch 1,	abuseThis looks like it's going to be awesome. "I'm from England. We all have English accents, it's not exactly a sex aid." < LOVED that line, made me laugh. I'm English too, so I can't help you with timetable thing, sorry ;) Update soon!
