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

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.  [/quote]

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]

Last year we didn't have a party, this year we did.  There are only 12 kids in his grade and they interact a lot with the lower grade, so I invited all the kids so no one would be left out.  We know we are not invited to all parties and we are invited to some that others are not.  That's fine.  But, given their ages  and small class size, I was not excluding any kids (or siblings).  About 2/3's came.  I don't keep track of the other birthdays but it was helpful to figure out who was in the class and to figure out siblings to make sure the invitation included everyone.  I'm sure people assumed they were not invited last year when we didn't have one but we choose to do the birthday at Disney instead.[/quote]
