Those who speak American say skedule (and write skeptic rather than sceptic, too). Those who speak English say shedule. Those who speak French say sharade. Those who don't might say charade. I don't know anyone who says sheese for cheese. The triple diagnostic for pronunciation gave me two different pronunciations - which wasn't all that helpful.
