Not sure how old 4th grade is, but I'd have been about 6 or 7 when Amanda Jackson told me I couldn't borrow her colouring pencils because I didn't believe in Jesus. We're in the UK, it's not like it's even such a huge thing over here, and joke's on her anyway because in the end the teacher ruled that she had to share.
Screw you Amanda. Never forget.
Yeah, I never know what age a grade equates to. “4th grade” - is that age 4? Seems a bit young. So, if you start school about age 4, then that would be 1st grade I guess, so 4 + 4th grade would be age 8. Is that right?
Good guess. Generally about 8-9.
It’s usually your grade + 5. Most people start school around 4 or 5 but before first grade there’s kindergarten.
And before that there’s preschool (optional) 3-4
I never went to preschool. I thought it was optional?
It is, I wrote optional in brackets
