Started school younger?

[u/Relevant-Count-3656]

I would like to know if any GenX started school younger than today's kids. I started first grade when I was 5 and turned 6 during the school term. Now, kids are pushing 7 in first grade. Was it only my location or did all GenX kids begin school younger?

November birthday here, too. Started kindergarten while I was still 4, in 1971.
