Notability[edit]

This article (along with other the articles in its series) does not strike me as being particularly noteworthy. I have already proposed Fifth grade for deletion, and will most likely propose this one for deletion as well should the deletion of fifth grade go through.

This article was note-worthy for me. 86.152.8.114 (talk) 13:04, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

USA[edit]

In the USA, the children DO learn Sex Ed in the Health subject. The girls learn about periods. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.195.55.228 (talk) 13:17, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ages[edit]

"In the United States, the average age is 9-10."

"9-10" isn't an average. In some states (as in Rowling/Harry Potter's Britain) children with any birthday routinely enter at age 9, and 80% celebrate their 10th birthdays during the school year (all but such youngsters as Rowling and Potter). In others, perhaps so many as one-third (Sep to Dec birthdays) routinely enter at age 8. Is there a state that routinely takes all Sep–Dec birthdays? a state that routinely takes more?

Perhaps the entire series, and all country-sections, should be written with a stable point of reference, age at the beginning of the school year.

Proposed merge with Year Four[edit]

Much of the content about the specific countries is already covered in the fourth grade article. There is no reason why they should be separate, even if they have a separate name. "Year 4" is mentioned in the fourth grade article and that is a more complete article. For not all the countries in the fourth grade article are called "fourth grade" either. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 04:44, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It would be inappropriate to merge this article with Year Four because the numbers do not correspond in the main usages. Would it not be better to redirect to general articles about educational grades and years where a less confusing comparison can be made? Dbfirs 07:50, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
