Talk:Infant school

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is there anything here worth saving? I, in the U.S., have never heard of the term infant school (pre-school, yes) and I know that there is no nation-wide requirement of an Associate's degree for work in child-care. Rmhermen 14:39, Jan 21, 2004 (UTC)

It's a UK term, though somewhat outmoded nowadays I believe. Primary school would be a better term quercus robur

Primary school in the US would be grades K (or 1) through 5 or 6. I thought this article was about pre-school (ages under 4 or 5)? Rmhermen 15:14, Jan 21, 2004 (UTC)

No in the UK 'Infant School' would be widely understood to mean ages above 4 9ie, first stage of compulsory education)- younger than this is refered to as 'pre-school' or sometimes 'nursery school'- maybe the term has a different meaning in the US? quercus robur

I am not aware of any menaing of infant school in the US. Can someone help? Rmhermen 15:23, Jan 21, 2004 (UTC)
