5th graders are the worst. When I was in 6th grade nobody liked the 5th graders. Same story with 8th graders. With 5th graders, they're near the top of the food chain, but not quite there yet. So they have all of the balls and none of the earned respect of the 6th graders. In year 7, you get away with stuff because "oh look it's a cute year 7 they're so short and funny looking they just got here cut them some slack" in year 8 you lose that because youve been there for a year already and lost the cute privileges. Year 9s are just assholes. Year 10s are where they start to mature. Year 11s go back to being assholes again, but in a more funny way, and year 12s are too busy with school and work and all that nonsense to have any fun.
I am thinking Brazil, because our schools usually have a distinction of years 1 to 5 from years 5 to 9, all of those nine years are called fundamentals but in general schools only teach of one those groups, so year 5s are usually the big fish in their school and they act like dipshits because of it.
Nah bro. Not Brazilian, but you guys are pretty cool. I'm Aussie. We have year 1-6 called primary school, and year 7-12 called high school, and then after that it's like uni and Tafe and all that shit.
In case you've never run across it and care... America calls them grades instead of years and we split it up into Elementary (Kindergarten+1-5), Middle (6-8), and High (9-12)
Elementary (Kindergarten+1-5), Middle (6-8), and High (9-12)
And that's not universal either. My middle school was 5-8. My fiancé taught at a K-6, 7-12 district. Some of the enormous districts near me growing up had middle/high school split, with K-4, 5-7, 8-10 "junior high", 11-12 "senior high". And that doesn't even get into the "fancy" private schools or religious schools either.
Can be weird talking about childhood events and realizing you had totally different school life experiences.

No, but they’re 5th grade teachers which is worse IMO https://people.com/where-are-abby-brittany-hensel-now-8768309
