Do you see the looks on those women’s faces? Think he’ll pass?
I would give him a Doctoral Degree, he would graduate Suma Cum Laude and I would do all of his homework!

I know nothing about The Italian Education System. Do you?

Here are a few tidbits that clears it up a little:

From Wikipedia:
Education in Italy is compulsory from 6 to 16 years of age, and is divided into five stages: kindergarten (scuola dell’infanzia), primary school (scuola primaria or scuola elementare), lower secondary school (scuola secondaria di primo grado or scuola media), upper secondary school (scuola secondaria di secondo grado,scuola superiore or liceo) and university (università). Italy has both public and private education systems.

Our Guys. Also from Wiki:

The Scuola secondaria di secondo grado lasts five years (roughly from age 14 to 19). Every tier involves an exam at the end of the final year, called esame di maturità, required to gain a degree and have access to further university education.

(esame di maturità = “exam of maturity” ~M)
