[quote=Anonymous]PS: For those who think I'm advocating for the conception date to determine school eligibility - I don't know where you're getting it, I said nothing of the sort. You've made that up. All I am asking you to do is recognize the irony of the situation where kids who met the age cut-off by virtue of nothing but being born a few weeks premature are considered good and ready to start schooling, but their peers born full-term and thus after the cut-off date aren't, and it's "don't you dare steal a year of childhood and put an immature child where he doesn't belong!". These children are identical in every sense (all things being equal). Yet one is ready and the other isn't? Of course, the cut-off has to be made *somewhere*. But it's still damn ironic. [/quote]
