[quote=Anonymous]Our oldest has a late Sept birthday - I don’t consider him red-shirted - though others do. He was a preemie and if I had known how much I would debate the right thing to do over the years, I would have tried to hold out for another 72 hours. I also have twins in MS who are a late summer bday. They both went on time. One is immature for age and has LD and likely would be better with younger peers. DH and I are also split. I was a 17 year old at the start of college and he 19 - both did fine. IMO: 1) the best decision is dependent on the child 2) there are pros and cons whether DC is oldest or youngest in grade 3) you won’t know what is best when you have to make the decision, because... 4) the answer re: what is ‘best’ may change over the course of DC 16 years of education 5) make the decision for your DC and let others do the same [/quote]
