The limiting factor is definitely fatigue, assuming we already don't care about morals. I could probably take on like 3-15 waves of them, depending on how big they would be.

MODERATORS
Too vague.
- How much time between waves?
- Can I leave one first-grader "alive" to indefinitely recover at the end of a wave? Or can defeated members of a wave re-enter the fight if they have long enough to recover?
- Do I get regular meal and sleep breaks assuming it goes on long enough?
- How aggressive are they?
- Is the attack coordinated? Like did they have time to prepare?
- What does the arena look like?
- What constitutes being finished beating one of them up?
- Do I have to worry about taking it too far?

My first question would have been "is the fifth grader boss the entire fifth wave, so after 40 first graders, or the end of the fifth wave, so after 50 first graders?" Followed by "how much time do I get to prepare?"
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The deciding factor in this scenario is your willingness to pick one up by the ankles and bludgeon the others with them.
First graders are about 50 lbs. Pre-K and Kindergarteners would work better for this. Too much weight and you're going to lose power on the swing.
Pick up one in each hand and spam Whirlwind for the AoE damage.
50 lbs on average. Just find one the right size and weight like picking out a bat before stepping up to the plate.
Greater momentum due to the weight means every hit will make a domino effect on the other attacking 1st graders

Played the (surprisingly lengthy) demo of this over Next Fest and found it pretty fun, though maybe a bit too easy.
