Well, to put it simply, the American public school system sucks. We are 17th in the rank of educational performance, in a system solely focused on standardized testing. Anyway, here's a brief description:
There are public, private, and home schools in America; 87% of us attend public schools. Prior to colleges and university, students attend both primary and secondary school for a total of 12 years.
Preschool: Kids can start as early as 3 years old and are usually finished with preschool by the time they turn 5 years old.
Elementary School: (Kindergarten until 5th grade) This is basically primary school. Kids are usually 5 years old when they first enroll and are done with primary education by the time they are 11 years old.
Middle School: (6th grade until 8th grade) This is basically secondary school, with students at age 11 completing their time here when they are 14 years old.
High School: (9th grade until 12th grade) Lots of state standardized testing as well as the national SAT / ACT. SAT is typically more popular with students but they can take either or both. Once a teen's done with high school, they graduate and move on to higher education.
Our grading system runs on a GPA scale and letter-grade system (A-F) with A being exceptional and F being terrible. These scales measure our academic achievement. We've also got the typical academic transcript, which is extremely vital for universities and college admissions.
As for a typical public school day, this usually depends on the school itself. Some schools start at 7-7:30 AM while others begin at 9 AM. Some end at 2 PM, 3:30 PM, or as late as 4 PM. Mine starts at 8 AM and ends at 3:30 PM.
We get the usual breaks too, like spring & summer & winter break. Overall, our public school education system is failing and stressing students out. It's extremely flawed, but it's what we've got.
Note: Sorry if this went far beyond "brief," but this is basically how our public school system works. This can also apply for private schools, too.
I believe the answer is: It lowered the voting age to 18.
The 26th amendment was created in 1971. Prior to this year, the majority of the 18 years old are either already working in some ways or being drafted to join a war. Since they have to carry a lot of burden, it is only fair if they also could give their vote to appoint the government officials that can represent them.
Let's break this down.
Scientifically speaking:
<span>An organic object is an object that contains carbonAll living things, whether they are plants or animals, contain carbon<span>The term organic is often used to mean "natural" because of its association with living things, the term also applies to things that have never been alive.</span></span>Examples are: gasoline, plastics, synthetic fabrics, pesticides and fertilizers. These products are manufactured from natural gas and oil, which are the remains of plants and animals that died millions of years ago.
Organic compounds will burn.
Inorganic objects:

Answer:
I was caused by segregation between African Americans and Whites.
Explanation:
The civil rights movement is a period in america's history from around the early 50s to mid 60s. Everything had 2 areas. One for African American's and Whites.
