Even that's inconsistent. While in "The Return" the kids start a new grade...supposedly...in "The Points", a season 5 episode, when the kids open the folder of Tobias, it reads he's in Seventh Grade, in year 2015. In "The Grades" is actually when they start eight grade...although in "The Best", when Gumball looks for Carmen's record in her previous school, he does it inside the "6th Grade" folder, where his name, Darwin's and other of his classmates are written as well. I'm certain they're in eight grade as of now. Buuut...time is inconsistent, and if you ask me, I believe Darwin and Gumball have stopped being 10 and 12 respectively quite some time ago, as they have grown a lot from that. They do have their moments when they behave their age, but on a daily basis, they definitely act older than stated. One day I'll dare to ask Ben Bocquelet what are Darwin's and Gumball's mental age for real. I bet that if he answers, he will say it's inconsistent as well, hah.
