[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 10 yo shouldn't be a rising 4th grader.  My 10 yo is a rising 6th grader, but most are going into 5th.

If he's treated younger than his age all the time and with a younger cohort, then you will have to expect him to act younger than his age.[/quote]

I have a rising fourth grader who will turn 10 a month after school starts. Completely normal and most of his classmates are in the same age range within a few months.[/quote]I stand by my statement that a kid who is 10 yo now shouldn't be going into 4th grade.  If they were following local DMV cutoffs, they'd be going into 6th.  If they were redshirted, they'd be going into 5th.  Under no circumstance should they be going into 4th.  [/quote]

You are off by a year. Kids who are 10 right now and within the school cutoff dates are going into 5th grade, not 6th. Agree that a kid who is 10 *right now* and going in to 4th grade was redshirted. Obviously there are some kids turning 10 in Sept who were not redshirted if their district’s cutoff is September 1. [/quote]
I'm not off.  I have a 10 yo who is going into 6th grade.  She turns 11 after school starts in September.  We have an end of September cutoff in Virginia.

Some places have a September 1 cutoff.  Kids who are 10 now still make the 6th grade cutoff if they turn 11 before Sept 1.  If they don't, then they are going into 5th.

A kid who is 10 yo now is double redshirted if they're going into 4th.  That shouldn't happen.[/quote]

You are deeply confused.

Your kid is going to be a VERY young 6th grader.  The vast majority of kids who are 10 right now will go into 5th grade.  They’re not “redshirted”.[/quote]
