Talk:Menntaskóli

Equivalence to years in high school and university in the U.S.
The article said menntaskóli is equivalent to the last two years of high school and first two years of university in the U.S. But looking at the U.S. section of the high school Wikipedia page, the four years of high school start at age 14-15, 15-16, 16-17 and 17-18 respectively. A youth starts menntaskóla at the age 15-16 (depending on when in the year they are born). This way the first three years should correspond to the last three years of high school. Similarly, while a Bachelor degree takes three years in Iceland, it takes four years in the U.S., further supporting the view that the analogy should be 3 and 1, not 2 and 2. I changed the article thusly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.69.203.2 (talk) 19:48, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
