Nah bro. Not Brazilian, but you guys are pretty cool. I'm Aussie. We have year 1-6 called primary school, and year 7-12 called high school, and then after that it's like uni and Tafe and all that shit.
In case you've never run across it and care... America calls them grades instead of years and we split it up into Elementary (Kindergarten+1-5), Middle (6-8), and High (9-12)
Elementary (Kindergarten+1-5), Middle (6-8), and High (9-12)
And that's not universal either. My middle school was 5-8. My fiancé taught at a K-6, 7-12 district. Some of the enormous districts near me growing up had middle/high school split, with K-4, 5-7, 8-10 "junior high", 11-12 "senior high". And that doesn't even get into the "fancy" private schools or religious schools either.
Can be weird talking about childhood events and realizing you had totally different school life experiences.
