[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Sincere question: how do you know who's redshirted in your child's class?

I am always curious when people ask this question. People have birthday parties. Also, if you volunteer at school or chat with kids when they come over for play dates or meet at the park, things like their birthday and age come up, even if you aren't intentionally looking for the info.

Yes, people have birthday parties, but there are plenty of kids in the class who either don't have a birthday party or don't invite my kid to the birthday party.

I'm guessing that the people who know the birthday of every kid in the class have their kid in private school. [/quote]

I don't know the exact birthday of "every kid" in my son's class, but I know many of their general birthday months, and he goes to public school.  We're a friendly family, and I volunteer at the school for 30 minutes one or two days a month on my lunch hour when I work from home.  I also like to chat with his classmates when we meet up at the park or at play dates.  Not to grill them about their birthdays, but just to find out a little bit about their interests, activities, and lives.  [/quote]

Are we not supposed to know kids birthdays now? Is it a big secret? Maybe some people who red shirted their kids are sensitive about this but...oh well.  [/quote]
