[Lee]:
Yeah, and now we've got Day Care, and then Head Start which is what some
call the Kindergarten program now, I think.  

<Sigh> Times change, words change.  Forty-plus years ago, I remember Nursery
School, Kindergarten, Elementary School, Junior Hi and then Hi School.  Now
the system is sorta split in most places into Head Start, Primary School,
Middle School, (which in some places takes in part of Junior Hi) Junior High
(which in some places is still separate from Middle), and Hi School.  I
can't help but think the system was revamped to handle the population
growth. :-)  Just my opinion.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
