Nobody is panicking but the dreamers who keep posting this nonsense. There are no rumors of such a change only the wishful dreaming of September parents who lost a perceived advantage. Life has moved on and nobody died. If they change back, nobody will die either. But after your precious 8th grade year you really won’t care. |
You are flat-out wrong about this not getting discussed. Maybe that is wishful thinking on your part. |
| Simple solution is not to allow parents to hold back their kids except with full evaluation (not your primary care) and proof child has been in services for at least 2 years and not improving to the level needed. That way there is not such a discrepancy in ages. I have no issue with my September kid playing with older kids. Makes him work harder and if he gets the same grades as your held back kid, mine is smarter by age. |
So you want to change how the entire school system works instead of sticking with birth year sorting. Good luck with that. |
If it is being discussed then so be it. It means more to you than it does me. Sorry your kid got cut from the A team the first time around. |
You sound panicked and dim. |
I’m more worried about having a job than I am about some arbitrary cutoff date. But, you keep worrying about the big things like what age group your kid is in. |
