For those outside of the US, 8th grade would be about 13-14 years old.

I cant believe how nonsensical the grade system in the US is
In Romania. 8th grade would be 14-15 year olds, which makes much more sense
Why does that make much more sense? A grade number is just a label.
In Switzerland 8th grade is 11-12 year olds haha
