Depending on when you were born you may be significantly older or younger than your school group which has emotional maturity implications which have “kids are monstrous little shits” implications. Same with how the fall and spring kids tended to have big parties while the winter and summer kids didn’t since the former was too cold to go outside and the latter couldn’t just give an invite out to the whole class.
