How do school systems work in places like the US?

Asked by Lost_World (1231points) June 30th, 2010

Where I live in Ireland we have:

Pre School: basically a day care

Primary School: ages 5–12 this lasts 8 years with 2 infant years at the start

Secondary School: ages 12–18 this lasts 6years

And then you have third level education.

But how does this differ from the seemingly overly complex US system? And in places such as Japan with systems that sound the same as the US one are they the same?
