Perhaps Kassiopeia is implementing the "cause suffering" part of Finnish evil.

The closest thing in the US is the high school, yes, but that does not warrant calling it "high school". No need to beat around the bush, just say it's the upper secondary. The English language does have the word gymnasium, too.
The US high school is a compulsory level of education from the 9th to the 12th grade. The Finnish upper secondary is a non-compulsory level of education from the tenth to the twelth grade, to name the most radical difference. The Finnish system is more comparable to the French or German ones. The US system has vocational high schools while we have our own schools to throw the idiots technically-inclined into, for goodness' sake.

Well, maybe just say "Finnish high school-like school" or just gymnasium or something. Or then you're just SOL; but you can't call an apple an orange in any case. Let them look it up, "upper secondary" is an existing phrase.

I get utterly bored after a few minutes of doing it, this serves as good distraction. It's dull, monotonous work that requires lots of attention and precision. We are supposed to have computers for this kind of stuff...
By the way, no MP today. Ignorance and Stefu both said they'd be unavailable on Thursday.
