I learned how to read when I was three, so when I started school (one year earlier than I should have) when I was six, my teacher had to give me the reading material for the third grade in order to give me enough challenge. Though, the whole idea of having to start school at a certain age is quite ridiculous, one should start when one's ready. Age has not necessarily anything to do with it.
Oh, you had the option? That's nice. I didn't.
I'm with you on anti-agism, though

Yeah, I'm completely with you. Why wouldn't I be?

Hilariously, there's actually no data to suggest when people are, or are not, ready for school. What does being ready for school constitute? That might get you somewhere that actually is somewhere.

Well, you'd know, wouldn't you?

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
