ah apologies, I thought you had the same system, Scotland sound a bit more like us then, actually your system sounds much better, ours really only suits academically minded people which is pretty unfair imo, it makes it seem like any other kind of skills are "less than". Don't know what I'm going to do with my son, he's 14 now and is convinced he's going to be a UFC fighter
