In the United States,boys and girls start school when they are five years olf.In some states,they must stay in school until they are sixteen.Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school,another name for high school.
Most children go to public elementary and secondary schools.The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly for their children’s education because taxes support the public schools.If a child attends a private school,his parents have to pay for the child’s education.
Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities.Some colleges and universities receive financial support from the government.A student at a state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state.Private colleges and universities are very expensive ,however.Almost half of the college students in the United States work while studying.If a student’s family is not rich,he has to earn money for part of his college expenses.
