Reason for revert

We should keep this article neutral. This article is not about the United States. There are other countries too. 6th grade or 8th grade is either the final year of elementary school. It says so in my dictionary. 5th grade can be the final year...but it's not always. Saying 6th grade is a part of secondary school sounds more neutral than saying it is part of middle school. middle school means junior high school too. so which one should we take? It's better if we say secondary school. (209.177.21.6 - Talk)

Pretty bad writing for an article about education

Can someone please rewrite this poorly spelled and worded text:

In Canada, they start sexual education. Learning about puberty helping them later in life. Also lightly learning about drugs, bullying/ cyber-bullying. In some parts of Ontario students are in a program specifacally for drugs and types of bullying. This program is named V.I.P. (V.values; I. influences; P. peers). Grade 6 students in Ontario do a provincial test EQAO. For students in French immersion their whole test is written in English. Where in Third grade their math portion was in French. In many school children are either beginning middle school or their last year of elementary school. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.83.149.207 (talk) 15:21, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

At our school in America, we have a thing called D.A.R.E. Its basically the same thing. Stands for, Drug Abuse Resistance Education. 98.21.74.55 (talk) 04:00, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

why don't you do it yourself? I doubt you do anything batter paragraphic than this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.165.32.67 (talk) 02:33, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

This article is a mess

This article is a mess. The only thing that can be concluded from it is that some countries use the term, and others do not. Yet the article attempts to match the word with other education systems, sometimes using the age of the pupils and sometimes using the number of years the pupils have been in education. The result is original research that is confusing, unsourced and endlessly contradictory.

So in some countries we have the six grade being the equivalent of wherever children are at around 11-12, and in others we have where they are in their sixth year of schooling. There is no clear consensus of what should be used, and hardly any cites for anything. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 20:11, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

See also my comment on the the tenth grade article. The problem is an issue across all grades. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 10:17, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I've started by removing a lot of the countries that do not use the term "grade" and were simply trying to equate the year and/or the ages to some standard that did not exists. This is necessary if this article is in any way going to distinguish itself from Year Six. It is still largely unsourced, and no doubt some of the remaining countries don't use the term. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 16:43, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Strange sentence

Condensed to the actual complaint; heading improved ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:31, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

"In Science, Kids Are the Unit of Earth Science where they learn Astronomy, Rocks and Minerals, Tectonic Plates, And Weather." 2A02:2788:11A8:34:E2CB:4EFF:FE88:1A2D (talk) 23:26, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

I have removed this for now; it needs to be rewritten based on published, reliable sources anyway. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:39, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Curriculum

We need more information on the curriculum for 6th graders, especially in the United States. The information should be similar to the other grade levels. 47.12.180.193 (talk) 03:55, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
