Figure 1.--The state and private schools in England have different orm (grade) systems. The terms have changed over time. These boys are in a private (independnt) preparatory school. They are in the 5th form (11-12 year olds). In America tht would be the 6th grade, the last year of elementary school or in many states a middle school grade. In the English state system, that would now be Year 7, the first year of secondary school. In the old English system that would be the 1st Form, also the beginning of secondary school.

Some HBC readers tell us that they would like to be able to access new pages, but do not want to receive E-mails on every new page added to HBC. We have also for several years now experienced problems dealing with AOL. Thus we have created this page for HBC readers. We will list new pages or existing pages to which we have added additional information. We used to maintain a page like this. We know from this experience that we sometimes forget to add a new page, but we will try to remember to do this as much as possible. There will not be a link on our home page so you will want to add this to your favorites/book marks. We plan to only make this page available to readers who support HBC. There may be occasional changes in the URL. Just let us know if you have any question about this HBC feature.
