There is no mention of reading or mathematics classes at the school, so are all the characters morons? I mean, do they still have the academic level of a ten year old at age thirty?

I think that they are home-schooled except maybe the muggle-borns who actually go to a proper school.
Obviously they do know how to read if they are able to read their Hogwarts letters, names of the witches/wizards on thier Chocolate cards or even the names of the latest broomsticks before they even start Hogwarts.
But where does the part of 30yr olds having the iq of a 10yr old come from?

Well.. I've wondered that for awhile in lines of the wizard families. I guess it was the parents resonsibility to teach their kids the basic before going to Hogwarts. But with the muggle borns they obviously did go to school before Hogwarts because they didn't know they were wizards until they were 11..which is like 5th or 6th grade age so they would have learned a lot before going

I don't know if they have a use for math or reading. However, Hogwarts starts when they're 11, and before then Harry attended muggle school where I'm sure he was taught basic math and reading. Maybe wizard parents teach their kids that stuff at home before they enter into Hogwarts..?

students do not attend Hogwarts until they are 11 years old by that time they should have Lent to read and write at primary school they learn mathematics in their potions lessons they can also do muggle studies which will cover all of the above.

This is a question most fans have wondered for a while. Jo has said that it's the parents responsibility to teach their kids the basics like that before they go to school. I think that because of the strenous nature of their course work, they don't need to do these kind of things. It's sort of all wrapped into one.

Wll there is Arhimance that deal with numbers but other than that I think your right they dont really learn math and there is alot of reading for homework and during classes but they dont learn to write or anything like that but I bet there abilities grow as they grow up.

They can study arithmancy and have to write essays for most of the subjects.

You cannot do potions without arithmatic, so it must be included in other curriculum.
