[edit] Changes to Key Stage 3
Thanks for the explanations about the changes you made to my edits. I had rather though it was Information and Communication Technology without an 's' but it appears with an 's' on the Wiki ICT page which is why I added the 's'. If you are right then that page will also need changing.
The whole business of the use of the term "high school" is very confusing. As you have seen I've made changes to the high school page because there seems to be an assumption amongst our North American friends that high school is the normal term for a secondary school. I wasn't aware that there were some middle schools in England which are known as high schools. I wonder if perhaps the sentence in the Key Stage 3 article needs some further amplification as otherwise readers in America will assume that by high school you are referring to a school which educates all children from 11 to 18 (as I did). I rather assumed that someone in America had added the word "high" as they seem to have something called junior high schools in America which I believe are the equivalent of our middle schools. It's very difficult sometimes trying to get definitions which can be understood by a worldwide readership. I think it might possibly be useful if you could add something to the high school article to explain the usage in your area. Dahliarose 23:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Many thanks for your comments on my user page. The situation with regards to the use of the term high school" in the UK seems to be even more complicated than I realised. It does sound as though you would need a whole article to explain it all and it is probably not worth the effort as international readers will only get confused and the subject is probably not of any relevance to most people in the UK. I still wonder about the use of high school on the Key Stage 3 page as again I think this usage has the potential to cause confusion, especially if the term is only used in a small minority of UK schools.

[edit] Iceland (supermarket)
In the future, when someone adds masses of text from the site of a company, have no hesitation about calling it on sight. Such text is 99.999% of the time copyrighted and an equal amount of the time very biased or, at best, a very conflicted, suspect source that should be cited for bare facts and not plagiarized. I've removed the text from the articel; thanx for adding the {{copypaste}} template, I never would've seen it otherwise ;D! (PS. If you want to reply, use my talk page (User_talk:68.39.174.238, I'll see it there).

Why don't you link to an appropriate article then? At present it is not clear to non-brits. 76.186.106.159 23:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
