Is High School that different in the Usa to the Uk

Is High School that different in the Usa to the Uk?
I've always hated school in England, its always been so boring and repetitive. I've always wanted to go to an American High School for some reason, just because it seems different and more exciting, like they have homecoming, prom and their school trips seem way better. Is it really that different to high school in Britain?

Do many primary schools in the UK hire music specialists to teach music

Do many primary schools in the UK hire music specialists to teach music?
I am an elementary music teacher in the US and am hoping to relocate to the UK for a few years. I understand that teachers are in demand in the UK, but I am having a hard time finding evidence of schools hiring music specialists in primary schools. I have noticed that some schools hired a music coordinator, so perhaps that could be a possibility. Please share any (serious) advice on how I might increase my chances of finding a primary music position. Thank you.

No not as a rule in the state system. Try private (they call them public - just to confuse you!) Have a look at ads, Times Educational Supplement (TES) www.tes.co.uk Might help

In the US, you do a bachelors degree and then apply to med school for your post-grad work. In the UK, you do your bachelors degree in medicine. However, most UK medical "courses" (majors) limit the number of foreign students that they accept. Some even make it so that they will not accept students from countries that have medical schools in them. So you'll need to check each UK medical course to see if you are allowed to apply, and if so, what "A levels" you need*, plus what the costs are for foreign students to attend. Keep in mind that you'll need to jump through some significant hoops in order to practice medicine in the US, if that's your goal. That will include doing a US-based residency - and since most US-based residencies are reserved for students at US med schools, that's not a small hoop. *UK unis with medical courses require that you have at least 3 British A levels, in certain subjects, with certain grades. Since you are from the US, and the US doesn't have A levels, you'd instead apply with either 3 AP exams, or 3 SAT II subject tests. When you look at the uni's website, find out what A level subjects they require of applicants - and you'd want to do those subjects for your AP exams or SAT II tests.

Do kids in the UK who are in primary school ever have to repeat a year in school

Do kids in the UK who are in primary school ever have to repeat a year in school?
In the United States, kids who have not learned enough academically have to repeat a year in school. making them a year older than their peers. There's always at least one (sometimes a lot more) in every class who won't get promoted for the following year. I've heard that this doesn't go on in the UK but instead they go into a slower track. Anybody from the UK want to explain how it works over there?.

no they just get put in lower sets. but they keep going up a year and then in college they hav 2 pass d exams
2 :
Everybody stays together in the same class/form and are just taught at different levels in groups based on ability. Only in very exceptional circumstaces does a child get held back a year. Sometimes children are put forward if they are doing exceptionally well, but you are right, normally kids don't repeat the year over here. :)
3 :
people dont get held back in primary school, mostly they get help from learning support. normally in secondary school, immigrants start may be held back or put in a year group where they are elder. in sixth form you can be held back if the school thinks your grades were crap.
4 :
No. At least, almost never. I know one child who's a year behind her agegroup, because she had an extremely serious heart operation and missed almost the entire year of school. We don't have tracks, either. Kids are taught the same material, but at different levels (so they might all learn about the same period in history, but some kids would be expected to write a couple of sentences about it while others would be expected to write a short essay). It works about as well as you'd expect, i.e. extremely badly.
5 :
No kids don't repeat years, apart from in extreme circumstances. You don't get kept behind for just having not learnt enough. We have streaming, where you are put into groups for every subject based on ability, it has its pros and cons. Definitely not perfect.
