Do you know somewhere other than America that does the specific thing that was at issue in this thread, i.e. does sciences in the "if this is Xth grade, the science must be chemistry" way? I know schools here that, for example, offer music in early years but not later ones, but only in America have I come across the idea that a scientifically inclined child could be given a year of their favourite science and then not have the opportunity to be taught any more of it the following year. That's what seems odd. I'd be interested to know if it is, in fact, widespread - there are not many countries about which I really know.
