[12:08.74]The education system in the United States is controlled by state and local governments.

[12:24.62]all children must attend school from the age of 6 or 7 to the age of 16.
[12:31.97]Public schools are free of charge for grades 1 through 12.
[12:37.38]Private schools also operate in all states and territories.
[12:42.36]Some private schools are operated by churches and religious groups.
[12:47.46]Other private schools are not linked to any religious organization.
[12:52.62]Private schools must be approved by the state in which they operate.
[12:57.66]Most private schools do not receive government money.
[13:01.85]The parents of private school students pay the school.
[13:06.33]The school year usually begins in September and continues until June.
