[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any personal experience being held back or pushed forward with summer birthdays? Looking for long-range views. Do the top schools skew older? [/quote] B/SIL moved and had their early September BD son repeat K at school in new state. The early years seemed fine for him, but the last few years of HS, the parents complained a lot that his friends were not as mature as him...with no acknowledgement or insight that he was a year and, in a few instances, two years older than his friends and classmates. If parent/s make this decision, please bear in mind a maturity gap may emerge and there's no blame on the part of the "less mature," but is a consequence of the decision to redshirt a kid. [/quote]
