Merge them all
[edit]Having a separate article for each grade doesn't really make a lot of sense, and a single article would do much better justice to them all. Some advantages of merging:
- We could have one article for the US system, one for UK system etc, rather than each article attempting to cover generalities across very different systems.
- The repetetive "students in this grade tend to be aged X" could be avoided.
- A standard format for information could be easily managed.
- Some actual references might be found and used ;)
- "Grade 5" could become a list of pointers to all the differetn grade 5s that exist, like grade 5 in rock climbing, in music, in different years etc.
In short, "fifth grade" would make a great section in an article about the US elementary school system (pretty much what the article is currently about), but it makes a very poor article by itself. Stevage 06:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- This seems like a sensible proposal to me. The current system is not helpful for understanding anything but the US system. Much better to have a structured article for each nation covering their respective grade/year systems. Tafkam 16:01, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm reviving this -- it's still an issue, 15 years on. It's fascinating as a fossil from the early years, when Wikipedia was still figuring how to wiki. If it was awkward back then, time has only made it more so. Miyo0i (talk) 05:52, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
