What grade are you in?
Senior Member
I wanted to mention to you something about our system, and I started a new thread because there has been some confusion.
All kids who turn 7 years old either DURING the school year or during the SUMMER after the school year but before the next school year MAY start 1st grade.
But since some kids who are born in June, July or August are small or are not ready for 1st grade, they are not forced to start and may wait an extra year to begin 1st grade. Therefore, by knowing the age and the birthday of a student, I know that adding 6 to the age that someone will turn BEFORE September first will usually give me the correct grade. I also know that sometimes I have to add 7 for those born in the summer, because often they start a year late.
We have kindergarten and preschool in the US, but those years of school do not have numbers. Regardless of where you go to school in the US, there are 12 years of primary and secondary school.
I know this sounds confusing. But to apply it to you, because your birthday is in the summer, you would probably be in the 10th grade here (6+10=16), the age you will be before the next school year begins. If you were small when you were ready to start school, your parents might have delayed your start a year, to give you a better chance of fitting in socially. If you did not start school late, I would guess you to be in 10th grade, but that is using our system. To this moment, I don’t know what «year» you are in, according to the German system.
In addition, based on your level of accomplishment in language, I kept thinking you were a year ahead. I don’t know why I said that you would be in 11th grade here. That was stupid. If you can tell me how old you were when you started your first year in primary school, I can tell you what grade you would now be in here, in the US.

Well, that’s a really good explanation and now I’ve understood the American school system almost completely.
Second, all in all in Germany, we have to go for at least 10 years to school, I want to go for 13, in order to go to a university and study some languages.
I hope, it helps a while, but I thank you for opening this thread.

have kindergarten and preschool, but we only sum them up to ‘Kindergarten’. Regularly, in the age of 6, you have to start going to school, but if you’re born in the summer as I am, you had to wait a year. That is, I first went to school when I was 7, but my brother who is born in February and my sister who is born in March were 6 when they started.

I made a couple suggestions, Who. I would recommend to you that you not use «gonna» when writing unless you are clearly writing entirely in a playful, «slangy» sort of manner. If you want to check my view about this, you could check in English, but I believe most people (of all ages) will agree with me.
Words such as junior high, high school, are never capitalized unless you are referring to a specific school, for instance: Fort Lauderdale High School.
Your system is very similar to ours about starting school, except that starting later is a choice here, not a rule, if you are born in the summer. I recommend to parents NOT to start their children in 1st grade when they have summer birthdays unless they are above average in size and social development.
In the area of Germany in which my student-friend lives, the choice of what «course» to follow is made by the end of 4th grade. So obviously the rules are very different, at least in this way.

What grade are you in ответ
In the American school system there are level in schooling often referred to as “grade levels” shortened down to just “grade”. Like I am in 11th grade. Means that I am in my 3rd year of highschool

This usually refers to what school level you’re in!
Example:
Speaker A: “What grade are you in?”
Speaker B: “I’m in 11th grade.”

What grade are you in ответ
It’s funny how adults always ask children the same type of questions. You know, when the store clerk smiles and says, “Where do you go to school?” or when a neighbor’s asks, “What grade are you in?” These are simple questions that any child should be able to answer without putting much thought into it.
Exploring sensory deprivation at Lynn Meadows Children’s Museum
A few months ago our 1st grader was asked by a lady at church, “Where do you go to school?” He responded with a big grin, “I don’t go to school….” (Then he left a long pause, while I’m standing behind him with my mouth hanging open…) “I do my school work at home.” I was so thankful that he added that second part on, but it sure would have been nice if he had just answered from the beginning that he was homeschooled.
Now in his defense, he is only six years old. He took the question literally (as most children would). If she had asked “Where do you do your school work?” he would have answered at home, but since the whole world has been conditioned to ask “Where do you GO to school?”, it’s like everyone assumes you have to GO somewhere to be able to learn. We’ve discussed this type of situation several times since then and I have high hopes that if he were to be asked this same question tomorrow he would say, “Evergreen Christian Academy, I’m homeschooled” or some variation thereof.
An upcoming development in our homeschooling journey is the, “What grade are you in?” question. I know many homeschooled children who are at different grade levels in different subjects. For example a child who is advanced in reading and science may be taking 5th grade reading and 4th grade science, but they may be taking 3rd grade level other subjects. Would this child be “in” 3rd grade? We as a culture relate grade to age, so a 3rd grader would typically be 8 or 9 years old. As homeschooling parents should we place much value on what grade a child is in? Does it really matter what grade level a child is working at? I personally believe as long as they are learning to the best of their ability and being challenged then that is all that matters.
I wonder how many children out there are stuck doing the monotonous work at their grade level because parents and/or teachers feel it’s “too early” to move them on to the next level for a particular subject. This is something that is almost unheard of in public and private schools. Why hold your child back? Let them move forward at their own pace; whether it’s a slower pace or a faster pace it doesn’t matter. You can’t force them to learn, you can only guide them and present them with a million opportunities to experience fun while learning. Isn’t that what learning is supposed to be about anyway? Fun? I certainly believe so.
Our son is in a 1st grade class at church and gets a report card (that I fill out myself) which lists his grade level as 1st. However, how do you classify what grade a child is in? He is currently taking 1st grade English (grammar), 1st grade Social Studies, 2nd grade science, 2nd grade reading, and by the end of February will be starting 2nd grade math. His music, art, PE and Spanish lessons aren’t grade specific so those don’t really count. Technically our son is in the 1st grade (and I don’t plan on moving him up a grade at church or on paper). At this point when he’s asked the “What grade are you in?” question he automatically says first. Knowing him like I do though I’m sure that at some point in the future he will surprise someone by telling them he’s in 1st and 2nd grade or some similar confusing answer.
Examining a deer track
It’s our job as parents to prepare our children for these type of questions so they know how to give appropriate answers. Some people may disagree, but frankly a simple one sentence answer that is planned out in advance is MUCH easier than having to go into a long dialog about how your child is working at different grade levels in different subjects. Not all children of the same age fit into the same mold, and why should they? God made each child unique and special, so let’s help them out.
