Hi PN!
>Do you call it "high school" in the UK? Roughly the age range of 14-18?
11-16 is called Secondary school or High school here.
4-6 is called Infant school. 6-10 is called Junior school. Some schools are both Junior and Infant schools.

Perhaps they need to play in the garden more? :) American culture seems to be obsessed with academic achievement, but I could be wrong. A lot of children are just not suited to academia, they would benefit more from doing something more practical.
