"Why are 12 year olds still in the 6th grade?" Because their birthday is during the school year, rather than the summer.
In other words, most kids will turn 12 sometime during their 6th grade year.

So, the girls did what many Americans do when they feel they're rights are being trampled on – ... I thought she was going to say "They called a lawyer". Whew!

You got it. 11 & 12 is about right for 6th grade. I was 11 in 6th grade.
I seem to recall that when it's spring, spring fever occurs. Anything can happen when 11 & 12 year olds are on the cusp of puberty.
Something should have been done but I think this measure was a little drastic.
