My kid can do it but the majority of the boys and girls could not. Esp if there was more than one of them, they would get into mischief and disrupt others. I was constantly reminding them to go back and sit on the bench and wait for the group. I have an 8 year old so I am not that far away from observing the maturity level (or lack thereof) of this group.
Seriuosly I still dont understand that comparison!
Like I said maybe becasue I grew up with much younger brothers, a boy in the bathroom did not phase me as a young girl, and as a grown woman it does not make me blink an eye either. Although I dont know what bathrooms you are all going into bc I dont see tweens or teens in there and I dont see young boys making messes or peeking in stalls. And I didnt know ANY 10 year olds that we taller than me, and I am only 5'2". They all got taller than me once they reach 7th grade! So once again I would be explaining to my DD, if I had one that most of the moms are bringing in their young boys for assitance and safety and that her brief moment of embarrasnment could possibly be saving a young child's life.
Once again for my family it is non issue bc in WDW DH is usually with us or I can send both boys in together. We also make many pit stops and all go, so that if DH and DS13 are on a roller coaster that DS8 does not want to ride (like RNR), that I do no have to send him in unattended. Or I dont have to leave him on a bench unattended bc although he knows to stay put I dont feel comfortable doing that, so we adjust what we need to do as a family.
I also am amazed that you all have kids at such dangerous schools, at our school the kids all go together as a group, with a teacher or aide standing outside. Then if they need to go other times, they have to go in pairs and the teacher will leave her classroom door open so to hear them. These are the K-3rd grade kids. The older kids go independently. And our school has pretty strict security, so not just anyone can roam the halls. So I am not sure why you would say they are safer at WDW than school.
Ref the bolded, I see 10 year olds taller than you quite often. Heck, just last weekend we played a soccer team with several players taller than you. I still wonder if they were on steroids. There were also 8, 9 and 10 year olds. One was even a giirl.
