Question

I have a hopefully easy research question for my US friends - about the way the school system works. I know there are differences state-to-state, but I'm just looking for a rough idea.

In the UK, assuming you live in the same place throughout your childhood, you'll probably go to either two or three different schools. I went to three: "Infant" school from five to eight, "Junior" school from eight to eleven, and high school from eleven until eighteen.

Does it work approximately that way in the US? I get that impression from TV, at least.

Basically, this is background for my SPN fic: I'm looking for how old the boys would have been at a time when they were both school age but weren't at the same school. (Dean is four years older than Sam.)

ETA: Answered in record time! Thanks, guys :-)

So...remember my post yesterday about the Atheist Bus Campaign?

It had to happen.

I almost want this to go to court. It won't but I'd love to force a ruling on this.

ETA: For those who don't know, Christian Voice are the UK's equivalent of Westboro Baptist Church. They're the ones who tried to talk the CPS into prosecuting the BBC under blasphemy laws for airing Jerry Springer the Opera. Hate-mongers, in other words.

ETA2: Iconed!
