My daughters and I have argued the toss about this on and off over the years.
I believe the word is pronounced SHedule
They say SKedule
Discuss!!!

um, well I'm obviously in the minority. I go with the K sound.
then again my Dad tells me off for pronouncing garage as garidge ... and I guess he has a point!
