First graders are rare, but from a relative who works in an urban public school by third grade it’s not weird at all. She has students in that grade who outweigh her and can do a lot of damage to their classmates and teachers. When I was in 4th grade a student pushed another through a glass door, cutting her leg open. Kids tripped others down stairs. America is violent, it starts young, and it’s perfectly normal in a lot of places.
