All depends on where you live.
But I've always wondered why it doesn't follow that "school" is pronounced as "shool" too.

If you are British or Aussie or Kiwi you may prefer shed-yool. If you are american you will probably want to say sked-yool.

Do you know what, I'm English and I never remember which way is English! I say shed-yool anyway because it sounds right to me!

depends. Brits say shed, Americans say sked.
Dorothy Parker said an affected American actor who referred to his SHED-yool was "full of skit".

American = skej"ool, skej"el, skej"oo-el
British = shedyool, shejool
Canadian = shej"ool
skedyool, shedyool, shedjool, skedjel and skedjool are all correct pronounciations of schedule. In any case the stress is on the first syllable.

Meanwjile 'school' is pronounced 'skool' in any standard form of English. English writing system is not phonetic and thus the difference.

Winston Churchill famously asked Franklin D. Roosevelt where he learned to say "skedule". He replied, "Why, at shool of course!"

Yes, I agree, but there are far better reasons for getting at the USA!

either....after working in the airline industry it is abbreviated as sked...so it's hard to change to sched.
