can't we at least bend the rule about children being trained in this rp? It is a very common thing in star wars lore.

I know, I just figured they'd separate the kids and the adults, as things change quite a bit when you get older. You don't need to lecture kids in not falling in love, and they tend to be less mature than adults.
It's only a few years, but in terms of your training, it makes a big difference in how the Jedi interact with you.
