I can see that the Aussie system doesn't follow the British system
as closely as I had thought.

Kindergarten is German = Childs Garden.

There are Creches here now for kids, but they're not really a
kindergarten, I think they're more like a place to leave the kids
while Mum works.

Although I sort of got the impression that's what my entire school
life was for.

Sitting there bored to tears, wondering what was "out there".
