The UK school system is quite complex but Gavin made it sound much more complicated by adding GCSE and A level. If he just said: "Years 1 - 12 is school. Above that is college or further education for 2 years and finally uni after that."
Basically year 1-8 don't matter as far as your future then 9-11 is gcse 12 and 13 are optional further education (A levels or college) and then university is after that
+DanielHodder7 I think the thing that was getting everybody confused was what getting "qualifications" meant. Are they tests or an entire class that you have to take?
Year 1-6 is primary school, sometimes 1-7 in the same school though 7-11 is secondary school. 6th form is considered year 12-13. But instead of 6th form, you can go to college for your year 12-13, or just year 12. Then usually from 6th form, you go to university or just get a job. From college you just go straight to jobs. It's weird but so is your senior, softmore, middle school bullshit Edit: also our grading system changed last year to numbers which is fuckin dumb
not only was i laughing at Blaine eat the whole slice of cake in one bite but the cut to barbara at 3:55 was amazing just watching her chew and concentrating on Blaine
To all the people who don't understand American School System: There's Kindergarten, and then Grades 1-12. This is basic schooling that is required for a high school diploma, which is considered bare minimum to get a decent job. The "freshman, etc" is just casual names for the last 4 years of school, collectively called "highschool" Grade 9 - Freshman Grade 10 - Sophmore Grade 11 - Junior Grade 12 - Senior It's literally nothing more than that. Grades 6-8 are typically referred to as "middle school", all grades before that are "elementary school" Specialized specific courses to get into certain fields don't start until AFTER Grade 12 in College, In which you get specialized degrees in certain fields that make you more qualified for specific jobs.
"Your system is fucked up, and you should be ashamed of ourselves" Ashamed of what? That the American Education system doesn't let you comprehend complex things so its somehow our fault? That if its not simple, its stupid? Pfff.
I find this so infuriating to watch because I just want to explain the system to them without Gavin confusing the situation more. The UK education system isn't this complicated and in theory is a better system than the US one (albeit not always in execution).
It depends where in the uk though cause Scotland calls their levels and school years differently to England, basically every education system is easy to understand if you grew up with it
I don't get why Gavin was being such a condescending doorknob about the whole "years advance a day" thing. Like people don't notice because people don't give a shit, why is it such a big deal that Burnie doesn't know it.
Oh fuck! I heard it bubble too! Right after Burnie says "does he have to swallow it"

Yea that sounds about the same

Nah, it's just like high school with 2 less years and than starting associates degree equivalent.
Year 1-6 is primary school, sometimes 1-7 in the same school though 7-11 is secondary school. 6th form is considered year 12-13.

Gavin's fucking squeals are amazing, especially that one as he's running away after hearing Blaine swallow the cake!
not only was i laughing at Blaine eat the whole slice of cake in one bite but the cut to barbara at 3:55 was amazing just watching her chew and concentrating on Blaine
with a chunk of cake hanging out her mouth :'D
Some forget blaine was once fat
GCSE is when there is so much stress nobody gives a fuck
"Blaine! BLA-*AA*-INE"
I died during the last five minutes 😂😂😂
Wow this is the first time I have seen the message "no views" in the view count.
Blaine just gave me another reason reason love him
3:35 Burine got mad there for a second
He doesn't want that shit on the set, also he can be queasy similar to Gavin
Sounded more like a concerned mother who doesn't want his child to choke to death.
when you're high af and dont know whats going on
How did burnie not know that, I always knew that cause I wanted to see when my next birthday fell on a Friday (born on Friday the 13th)

How could you not include the part where Blaine's face was covered in party hats?
Barbs is wrong, it is not a law that you have to go to school till 16 in Canada, at least not in Alberta.

hearing gavin talk about education systems pisses me off so much
I find this so infuriating to watch because I just want to explain the system to them without Gavin confusing the situation more. The UK education system isn't this complicated and in theory is a better system than the US one (albeit not always in execution).

Gavin explains it in like the worst way possible, then acts like they're stupid for not automatically knowing how it works
I don't get why Gavin was being such a condescending doorknob about the whole "years advance a day" thing. Like people don't notice because people don't give a shit, why is it such a big deal that Burnie doesn't know it.
because gavin is a condescending piece of shit about everything, and of course he even uses it to bash on America
You people took a friend taking the piss out of another friend WAY too seriously.
