conv: I didn't realize until now that the kids in school start having different classes for different subjects in 5th grade. I didn't know until the other day that kids have different teachers for different subjects starting in 5th grae. Yeah the older they get the more teachers they usually get. I think it's good because they get a variety. That's true.  I was a little startled b/c I don't remember changing classes for things until 7th grade.  Just a reminder that kids grow up so much faster now. Yeah schools definitely start things younger now. Kindergarten used to be voluntary back in the day! That's true - when I was in kindergarten_comma_ we only went for half the day.
