I went to a Catholic school when that was still a meaningful distinction. When we moved from the city to a more rural setting I changed to public schools. This was in 1976 and I was in 6th grade. They were nearly 2 years behind what I had been doing. I had to go to the HS to take algebra in 7th grade. The kids in my school had no idea what that was. I had been doing story problems since the third grade.
