At what age in US schools do they make the transition from having the
same
teacher for all subjects to have different teachers for different
subjects.
I think by age 9 and certainly by age 11 I had one teacher for English,
another for Math(s), another for French etc - this was in the UK.

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.

When my 2 girls were in school ( 36 and 37 now) in French Immersion
they had several teachers. Some subjects were in French, and some in
English - plus music - so AT LEAST 3 teachers - and that was grades 1
to 6.
Those taking "core french" had an english teacher and a french
teacher - in the same classroom. The french teacher went from room to
room teaching French to different classes.
