my wife's education exceeded the typical 2/3 (high school/university) regimen. Her 10+ years of teaching experience (life experience) may have contributed to the evaluation she received.
You are still clouding the issue.
You talk about 'education' but then seem to be adding in 'work experience' that made the education exceed 2/3.
i.e. Most people say something like . . . I had 4 years of college and have worked for 20 years. They don't infer that they have 24 years of education.
Sure we all understand that work and other life experiences are valuable, but we don't lump them all together.
Of course we are beating this to death, and you are under no obligation to answer, but . . .
It would be nice if you would just state if she did in fact have additional years of course work education (not work experience in education) beyond the 2/3.
My only original intent was to throw water on idea that someone might think that the 5 year diploma would translate into a bachelor and masters degree in USA.
You have clouded up the issue greatly with your shifting definition of what education your wife had that was evaluated.
You are not the first to have done this . . . but let's hope the last.
