Why the majority of the world not just use a single school from K-12 in general? Is it due to kids growth or teacher specializations?
In: 1
The separation of schools for grades K-5/6-9/10-12 is due to the different educational needs of students at each level. Elementary school focuses on basic skills such as reading, writing, and math. Middle school introduces more complex concepts and prepares students for high school. High school builds on the knowledge learned in middle school and helps students prepare for college or a career after graduation.
Most schools are grouped by age as the populations are too large, and having multiple k-12 schools is more costly than elementary, middle, and HS being separate. Also, the ages are so that students are grouped similarly- cuts down on bullying and avoids things like a 15 yo trying to be “friends” with a 7 year old.
