American Grades

American grade systems ( and any other that you find) should be explained for what age they contain to remove ambiguity for non-americans like me. Aquataris (talk) 06:54, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The whole U.S. section is a mess to read, in my opinion. I propose rewriting it to make it clearer Ottoump (talk) 07:16, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they should...one of the reasons, though, that sections about schooling in the US is there is no national standard - education is almost entirely left up to the individual states. and while there are rough similarities nationwide (and to a lesser extent with Canada as well), there can also be some fairly marked variations between what one state does and what another state does. (and then there's also what is done in places like Amish country, where German (but called Dutch) is the language and 1648 would apppear to be the year) Firejuggler86 (talk) 02:58, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Right, so the answer to this is *not* just to give up, but instead to make generalisations or to give examples, but this unmoored and vagueness is untenable for an encyclopedic treatment. If you really have to be that specific - just get rid of all references of year terminology and just discuss ages. Aquataris (talk) 11:32, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
