[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were able to send your son to 1st grade early, that would mean he'd be 17 for the first 2 months or so of college.

I remember there was a guy in my college dorm with a mid October birthday, and those first couple months were hard on him.   In our college town, there were a lot of clubs where you had to be at least 18 to enter.  Just a lot of little things were a hassle for him, not being 18 yet.

This is a bit irrelevant if you are talking about college. Not every state has the same cut off for K. For example NY is December. I was very close to that and was 17 in the beginning of my freshman year in college and there were plenty others. 
OP I wouldn't worry about kids being X number of years apart in school. I'd worry about what you feel their educational goals are. If dear child is ready for K and you think they will be board if they wait then put hom in a private K and have him test into public for 1st greade. Or just wait and put DC in when they are suppose to go.[/quote]
