Hi. How do you feel about secondary education? Have you been to sollege or trade school?

In the United States, secondary education usually begins around age 11. I did attend attend college. How about you?

I have a bachelor's in journalism, and I also am a journeyman electrician and licensed universal HVAC technician. You mentioned 11 years old?! That's very early. I didn't have an opportunity at that age.

Secondary education is considered the second and final phase of basic education. It isn't college. It would be very early for college! lol

Oh! I understand. Secondary education is mandatory in the US then. I had to go! Do you think there's a lot of value in attending secondary education?

I definitely find it valuable. Every country aims to provide basic education but the terminology and the systems are entirely unique to each country.

I can't say I agree. I found that most of what I learned in secondary education were things I already knew from life experience. I think more important is learning to research and find information. Did your secondary education focus much on that?
