- chupasaurus 4y agoElementary algebra on linear formulas starts in 5th
- iopq 4y agoWhen I went to school we skipped 4th grade going from 3rd to 5th, so our 7th grade was equivalent to the 6th grade in the US
- chupasaurus 4y agoYes if we talk about most of ex-USSR countries during the transition to 11-grade system. Some switched to 12, Lithuania switched back to 10 so grade comparison is a mess. To add some, that switch back in 1990 was done via extending elementary school, so actual 5th grade was equal in both 10- or 11-year program.
- patrakov 4y ago> swimming pools on the school grounds That's still not the norm in Russia. Instead, there are agreements between the schools and the nearby public swimming pools that their instructors will teach school children at a certain predefined time of the week. E.g., "between 10am and 11:30 am, the first three lanes in this pool are reserved for school number 42".
