Around here in North Carolina you usually start the 1 st grade around 6
years old. There is some pre school that start sooner. The 7th grade
is where it usually starts one teacher per subject. That would usually
put you about 13 or 14 years old.

Ah, so the change from one teacher for everything to one teacher per subject
happens quite a lot later in (some) US schools than in the UK. I hadn't
realised that.

7th grade is ~12 years old, not 13-14, and the change is often 6th
grade, so ~11.




I guess that my math may be off a year or so. However I think I was
thinking of how old I was at the end of the year. Finished the 12 grade
(end of school before college or entering the work force) when I was
18. So that ment I was 13 at the end of the 7 th grade or 12 when I
started.

I wrote my final grade 12 exam on my 17th birthday - - -
