I did feel small and young in early elementary school, but it was a non-issue later on. Girls are developmentally ready earlier than boys, and I would have been frustrated and bored in class with boys a year younger than I was. I liked finishing college at 21, having my masters at 22, and buying a condo at 25. Getting launched early had financial and social benefits for me.

This is irrelevant in today’s educational landscape

Actually its a very appropriate comment and they are in the situation and saying how they felt. Why are you dismissing it?

Because kindergarten in the 1980s was very different. As was all of K-12 decades ago.
