[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader was 13 all year and won’t turn 14 until late September. Luckily he is tall and very athletic or he’d probably struggle socially. I hate that people do this.[/quote] September is the cut off. Your child made the cut off by a small margin; that's why your kid's age seems like a big deal. The on-time October kids just missed the cut off by a small margin, so they had to wait to start school even though they were just about to turn 5. So they all turn 6 at the beginning of K and 14 a month into 8th grade and were 14 all year, just as they were supposed to. The cut off has to be somewhere, so there will always be a youngest and oldest. [/quote]
