Grade Level

In the U.S. at the end of grade 12 a university bound student can go to the university. Grade eight is when a student goes onto high school. It is the end of elementary school.

 

What part of the nation are you from? In my neck of the woods at the conclusion of grade 6 a student enters Junior High School. Upon completion of grade 8 one enters Senior High.

 

Rippon, I did not doubt your testimony, elsewhere.

However, I did not expect that I would ever personally encounter "Exhibit 'A'." along the way, either. :tear:

Will you please provide a little context? I have no idea what you are referencing.

I can understand how the Moderator might have seen my response as such, with only a short glance.

However, remark was directed at no one individual, but rather the general point of thread, and the contraction of "let's" is that of the collective "let us" with the collective "us" being inclusive of all, thus including poster along with every other individual. Ergo, if statement is 'personal', it is also a self-directed attack and a self-inclusive one as well.

BTW, "let us" is the ONLY definition for "let's" and I'm fairly sure that "ONLY" is a word used on this forum for which the definition is very well known.

While it has been more than 50 years since I was in the 5th grade, I'm still fairly certain that we had covered the definition of both "only" and "let's" long before I was 'promoted' to the 6th grade.

[Sigh!]

I looked at all my posts from the first page and I still don't know what in the world you are talking about. Please spell it out for me.

 

I don't know......................been so long ago I don't remember what you even posted! :smilewinkgrin:

 

Some prophets & apostles were "unlearned" (perhaps like Amos, or Peter) while others were highly educated (Moses, Paul), but all were attempting to write on an 'adult' level. This should certainly result in different (in modern terms) 'graded' reading levels from book to book (and maybe in some cases, even within a book).

Should a translation attempt to 'even out' the reading levels across the entire canon? If so, should they always 'raise' all the books to meet the highest literary level, 'lower' all the writings to lowest-common-denominator, or seek some middle ground (average)? Would elavating the ancient words of God be 'adding' to the Bible? Would simplifying the original reading of God words be 'taking away' content from the Scriptures?

 

Some schools start junior high in 6th and some 7th, and some end at 8th and some and at 9th. Some districts do not have a junior high. Some have an elementary school that ends at 8th.

Some of the more progressive schools in larger schooll distose students typically do better.

 

Huh, come again? What is/are "schooll distose"?

 

Since "All Scripture is 'God-breathed-out'" (II Tim. 3:16) and "holy men spoke" under the direct inspiration and leading of the Holy Spirit (II Pet. 1:16-21), I wonder if some (not you, franklinmonroe, by any stretch here) also consider the triune God as 'unlearned' as well? :tear:

I should have written

Some of the more progressive schools in larger school districts have students who stay in junior high school until 9th grade because they typically do better when they enter high school as sophomore rather than as a freshman.
