>>489089Once you get to middle school, curriculum changes based on ability. The tards stay at minimum or even remedial class levels, while the prodigious can move several levels beyond the standard. There was one turbonerd savant in my middle school who took a bus to the local community college for Calculus and then came to school for all his other classes where he struggled with shit like basic reading and science.
I'm was also surprised to learn the curriculums of countries notorious for studying like Japan and South Korea are hardly any more advanced than the non-tard curricula of USA. The only difference is that they seem to get a lot more busy-work. 10th graders (15-16 yo) learn Algebra and Pre-calculus in both countries, Juniors learn Trig/Calc, and seniors finish up basic calculus.
Sciences and arts are different though, as they are more or less elective. You can take basic chemistry, basic physics, or neither in HS and still graduate. And you can take accelerated courses on top of all of these (AP which earns college credit, or Honors which just gives you a tougher curriculum with knowledge as the reward (lol))
K-5th grade (6th grade in some districts) is all basic shit though. Math was learning up to variables like x, but not anymore in depth than that. Language Arts was basically introducing critical reading for novels instead of just picture books, and critical writing is introduced in the format of essays. Also, learning the basic parts of language e.g. nouns, verbs, predicate, etc. Science was mostly just a primer on how not to be a caveman. There's also PE and music but they don't actually teach you anything, they are basically extensions of recess
