Here in America we call our year nines freshmen. First year of high school. I think some schools start 'em at sophomores though.

9th grade = freshman
10th = sophomore
11th = junior
12th= senior

... why not just call them the actual grades?

Catlegend · Post by **Catlegend** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 11:31 pm

because it's fun to make fun of freshmen.

Because I think they actually mean something. Plus, what do you call a year 9 student when you want to make fun of them? I had a ton of friends who I addressed as "hey, freshman!" There's two of them whose names I don't actually know...

They're two of my favorites, too.

In the Netherlands we begin counting again at high school, although we call it middle school ^_^

"Basic" school (grades 1 to 8) ages 4 to 12
"Middle" school (grades 1 to 4, 5, or 6) ages 12 to 16, 17 or 18
"High" school (years 1 to 4) at the end you get a bachelor
University (years 1 to 4 or more) at the end you get your master ^_^

You don't have to do "high" school between middle and university. Especially when you do the long version of "middle" school which is 6 years of highest level teachings and people are expected to choose a university after that.

Oh, about freshmen! We call the first years of the "middle" schools "brugpiepers" (=bridge squeekers) as they are crossing the bridge from basic school to middle school. They come from a school where they were the oldest and arrive at a school where they are suddenly the youngest (and often smallest).

It's also often the year where it's decided if you are going to do the low, middle, high or highest level of middle school. So all levels are together there and get split up in the second year. It's a bridging year.
