Why is Ziggy in school with the other kids?

[Fairy-Possum]

I went to a school that groups student based on skill level and not age, age gaps were as much as 5 years. It's not common, but it certainly happens (it's mostly special schools)

Also, some small towns have a class with every student and a single teacher for every subject. LazyTown seems to be a small town, so I think it's likely

Perhaps Iceland also has a different school system. LazyTown certainly has that 🙂

Sorry, I just know that the UK, DRC, Australia & USA do it the old-fashioned way.

We have schools with mixed ages. Not every country has schools with grades/classes in the old way.

Yes you are.

I thought Stephanie was 12? maybe im thinking of the actors when they played the part

• Ziggy is six years old
• Stephanie, Trixie & Stingy are eight years old
• Pixel is nine years old

Ziggy is a six year old so he should be in Grade 1.
Steph, Trixie and Stinge are eight years old so they should be in Grade 3.
Pixel being the oldest should be a fourth grader.

But they take all the same classes at the same time, learning the same subjects/units/topics. Why so?
