[quote=Anonymous]Had 4 kids that fell with fall birthdays. All 4 are on the oldest side of the coin because we did not push them forward during a time Montgomery County was adjusting the start date for Kindergarten from age 5 by Dec. 31st to age 5 by Sept. 1st. As a parent, I never regretted having them be the oldest. My children also do not regret being the oldest and a lot of parents made the same decision we did so they don't stick out as being odd in any way. My oldest is now in high school at a top ranked school in MCPS. She is doing well socially and is good at academics. However, she does know kids that have shown up drunk or high at school and seen kids in her grade smoke off school grounds. Not the peer group she hangs out with but she has to navigate the hallways and classrooms with kids that have these problems. I'm glad she is on the older side when dealing with the social stratusphere in high school. [/quote]
