we have "years" you do 11 of those until you're eligible to leave school, and upto 3 more for higher education before university. If by first grade he means first year, then it would've been since i was um. 5 years old maybe, i dunno, it was a long time ago

That's my only distinct memory of first grade.

1988 or 1989.

Oh i see. In the real school, after all the kindergarten and such, we have first 6 years of grade school (grades 1-6), usually started at the age of 6 or 7. Then follows 3 years of junior high school or something like that, not sure of the correct term. Then about 3 years either vocational/trade school OR senior high. At this far it's pretty much compulsory for us to do (not absolutely positively but anyway). After this you're totally on your own about your future plans.
