Each state has its own system, and some of those systems vary from county to county, or even within a county. Bloody huge headache, but that's what you get from an overly libertarian system. No two people can agree on even the basics, like what kids should be able to read at a given age.

So to be safe, one should be around 9-11 when in fifth-grade. Still, I wouldn't give The Hunger Games books, with teenagers having to fight to the death, at someone who's 9 (of course, each child is different)

I don't see a problem. Then again, I'm all for advancing public school standards to the same level that the Christian schools are at. Encyclopedia Brown in the second grade, Hardy Boys in third,
Pilgrim's Progress or equivalent by the fourth, and reading contests each of the first three years.
