[quote=Anonymous]Our school cutoff is September 30 and our daughter has an October birthday so we didn’t technically redshirt but complied with the policy and had her be one of the oldest in kindergarten. Many other parents with fall birthday kids petitioned to have their kids go ahead because they were all so very smart and reading Harry Potter at 5. We doubted ourselves at the time but now she’s in 8th grade and it is so much better academically, socially, and athletically to be among the older ones. I’m really glad she didn’t go ahead.[/quote]
