    fifth level...

    of high school? Those crazy canadians. What is that 9th, 10th, 10th, 11th, 12th? Just for good measure? Two extra years to learn french verb conjugations? Relax, just a little joke. This is awesome news, though. It will be interesting to see how these technology initiatitives play out, in terms of enhancing education and how teachers use them (and deal with the inevitable problems like p***, file sharing, messaging...)

    all right

    c'est bon, c'est bon...

    et au gars qui dit que y'a pas beaucoup de macs ici, c'est faux. Y'a beaucoup de Macs à Montreal, Toronto et Vancouver. Et même à Montreal, il y a des écoles qui on déjà ce programme, comme l'école secondaire "The Study". Toutes les filles ont leur propre iBook.

    Quebec high school grades

    In Quebec, High School begins in Grade 7 and ends in Grade 11. Grade 7 is called "Secondary 1" and Grade 11 is "Secondary 5". Grade 12 and the first year of college/university have been replaced by two years of a half-way college system called CEGEP. The CEGEP system deals with intro-university material while keeping the class sizes small. Overall, it's a great system.

    voila...

    Je te conseille d'aller visiter le site du Club Mac de Montréal. Ils ont de l'info sur un bazaar Mac qui approche et des petites annonces
