Am I alone in thinking that the kind of people who inhabit LJ, are not the same cohort of people whose sole ambition in life is to find out what Spotty Ginge from me old school St Veruka's is up to these days? Personally, I kept in touch with the 5 or 6 people from school I even vaguely liked, and I don't even want *them* to know I have an LJ let alone random former class mates... I think Schools should have stayed on Friends Reunited where they belong - but mostly I don't care, and am surprised so many people care enough to grouse (OK, knowing LJ, maybe not so surprised :-)

Stil pretty tired. Lots to do. First real class this afternoon. Wish me luck :-)

No in the US you use school to mean university as well as, well, high school. We don't.

Ah. Well, since the lists seem to mostly be built by users, one would expect UK lists to fit UK usage, and US lists to fit US usage. Either that, or UK usage isn't as uniform as you describe.

I'm somewhat surprised the Koreans and the Japanese haven't made more entries so far. My understanding is that school ties are very important in both cultures. But, again, {shrug}.
