- Primary and secondary schooling is combined, so the pupils don't have to change schools at age 13.
I would also like to emphasize that in elementary school most students will have the same teacher from 1st-6th grade. Electives are taught by specialized teachers, but your main teacher for math, language, social studies, science remains the same. As a parent it is hard to adjust to new teachers for my kids every year, and it must be even harder for the students. There was some comfort in having the same teacher for many years even though I didn't always like her. I wonder if this makes a difference?
