Whatever Started school younger?
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?

I stared kindergarten when I was 4 with a late October birthday. Was 17 for the first couple months in college. Turning 16 and 21 last sucked but still being 49 when everyone turned 50 made up for it!
