To go or not to go?

Well, sometimes, you feel the need to ask strangers for the internet for their opinion.You know what I mean (well, if you dont, you obviously havent been in the interntezzz long enough)

As some of you know life here is hard, like so hard piracy is the only way to enjoy video games. :blink: lol

My father decide to work abroad there in Canada, i think in a place called Red Deer( am i right?), at a mall there..(i forgot the details)

well, his employer was happy with him and decided to help my father to get us. (like, we will go to Canada also)

the problem is, its happening too fast.

in here the school system is

elementary
grade 1
2
3
4
5
6

high school
1
2
3
4

then college

Im already on my 3rd year high school and my father said that we will migrate at summer (like april or may) but i really want to finish at least high school here, so that i would have at least finished something (that is not elementary)

its just 1 more year that i want to spend here but they're not listening to me.

I know that even if i finish high school here i'd probably have to repeat it again there. but finishing my high school here is something that i really want to achieve.

im thinking of telling my parents that if they drag me to Canada, I wont go to school and i'll just work my ass off.(they dont want that)
cause i think that getting paid is better than doing homework..lol

since im turning 15 at february (which is i think the legal working age?) i think it'll work

but more probably not

what are your opinions guys?

thanks for reading, hope you reply

Yeah, Red Deer is in Alberta. Canada Rocks, come to BC (province next to Alberta), its a semi-desert where I live :P

Yeah, 15 you can work. School here is:

Elementary
Grade 1-7

High School
Grade 8-12

College/University

Some places may have a middle school, which would be like 7-10 I think?

Err...Idk, I really think you should finish school. But I guess its up to you. I find schooling here REALLY easy.

If you have anymore questions aboot Canada, feel free to ask me eh. :P

wow, i guess that sounds nice..

question, what age do you start high school?
 
13 years old. So you would be going into Grade 9 I guess.

Oh, I lied, in Alberta it's actually 14 years old you can work. Get your drivers license at 14 there too (here in BC it's 16 :P )
 
u start at 13 and then u turn 14 during grade 9

If there's anything I've learned from living in Britain, you don't even need a license to drive. Just do it anyway, because the cops don't care.

You would probably be in Grade 9. I just turned 16 at the end of Grade 10, but you might be able to go into Grade 10, I guess it all depends on the school.

Again, it all depends where you end up :P Canada's a nice place tho ;) We're all friendly here. Just be yourself and be friendly :)
 
Thanks! well, we'll just see how everything turns out..lol

tnx for all your answers, it was nice to know

Dude, i was 6 when i moved from Philippines to Singapore, didnt not finish school coz they didnt have the same system... luckily, the people in Singapore accepted me half way school started...

then when i was 14 i moved to Louisiana, usa... which again had a different system... Luckily again i was accepted halfway, (skipped a whole six months :D)
 
GOD DAMN you get your license at 14 :blink: i can imagine a bunch of heads trying to look over the dash board :D
