It took me years to realise that Lily Aldrin being a kindergarten teacher meant she was teaching prep kids rather than 3 year olds.


And I only realised two days ago that, when Daphne Moon calls herself a physical therapist, she really means she's a physio - which means she's much more educated than I thought she was.

The Kindergarten thing? Oh, oh yes.
Also: figuring out that there is a difference between being a student at "Junior High" and being a Junior in "High School". argggh!

Yes! School systems in different countries confuse me no end.
