Kate,
What if younger students want to read high school level books but aren't able to because their library doesn't carry it? When I was in Grade 8, I was able to access the same sources as those who were in say, OAC (aka "Grade 13" or the fifth year of high school in Ontario. It doesn't exist anymore) and I found that it enhanced my learning abilities. None of the books were separated into learning and age appropriateness. But maybe the 7-12 system only works well in smaller districts and in schools where kids are of similar ability in terms of learning.
