Thd student is tested in these academic subjects. He simply passes the tests or he does not. land. IN ENGLAND college is only for those who qualify in the academic subjects, no chance to take a class or a quarter or semester of college. Once a student begins college, he is expected to finish it. Discipline in the English school, according to Mr. Stevens, is oir loco parentis basis, meaning that teachers are free to do whatever they feel the parents would do in any given situation. Students are required to wear uniforms, to have the utmost respect for all of their teachers.

In order to attend school past this level, they must complete 0 level, a test somewhat like our AP testing program. Those who pass this test are permitted to complete grades 1 1 and 12, a similar educational experience to attending a junior college in the United States, requiring at least five hours of study every day, including Sunday. with a religious service.
