Weezol - How old is the person who done the thread title?

That was my first thought too Grin

It's impossible to say. I've seen high ability year 1s who could write like that but it potentially could be a teenager who struggles with writing. It's impossible to guess an age.
Do you want to know if it would be typical of an average ability child of a particular age? In that case I'd put it at about a 9 yr old maybe?
Although the lack of cursive writing and the spacing/size of some of the letters as well as some of the spelling errors make me think maybe a high ability much younger child?

Did!

danTDM · 05/02/2018 18:01

I said around 9, but my child is not English. True, probably younger than 9.

I think the kid is probably older. The idea that someone is having a bad time because they are not 'being respected' would be a bit odd for a younger child.

I think it's an older kid, maybe 11 or 12, who is struggling with their writing.

Yes the op title is extremely poor my apologies, I had two different ideas for posting in my head at once. Amusing that people are picking at that though.

looks like something my 7 and 8 year olds would do.

They also know its did not done!

steff13 · 05/02/2018 18:04

I'm going to say about 11, based in the completely un-scientific theory that the kid in the story is 11, and the kid probably wrote about someone similar to him(her)self.

ShawshanksRedemption · 05/02/2018 18:04

Agree with BlueMirror, could be high ability Yr1 child or mid ability Yr6 child.

idontlikealdi · 05/02/2018 18:04

Why?

Fragglewump · 05/02/2018 18:05

Give us more info......

MarmaladeIsMyJam · 05/02/2018 18:05

I can’t believe some people are suggesting a child of 6 wrote this. Hmm

Cronuts · 05/02/2018 18:06

I'd say around 9 years old so year 4/5.

ShowOfHands · 05/02/2018 18:06

We don't know the age and guessing is pointless. Tell us the age and explain your concerns and you'll get honest advice and feedback.

BertieBotts · 05/02/2018 18:06

Children always write about other children their age, unless they pick some highly glamorous age like 16. So I think the child is 11.

tallulahwullah · 05/02/2018 18:06

So how old is the child?

MissMary0fSweden · 05/02/2018 18:06
