[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 1st grader had two 8 year olds in her class in the spring. She's still only 6. It's weird. And those kids were the worst behaved too.[/quote]

I don't even know how that's possible unless there was some stupid pandemic parenting involved (e.g. the parents were going to redshirt their child two years ago, then the Covid virtual year happened, so they held him back ANOTHER year). Anyone who just turned 8 should have been in 2nd grade this past year.[/quote]

PP you're quoting. My DD is July 2015 baby, turning 7 next month, starting 2nd grade in the fall. Her kindergarten year, 2020, she turned 5 in July 2020. She was sent on time.

I know several kids in DD's grade are 2014 summer babies, ranging from June-August. All of those were held back, but obviously that decision was made the year prior to hold back because if they'd started on time, they would've started kindergarten in fall 2019 (turning 5 the summer before kindergarten).

I'm guessing those that were 8 in the spring were similar to the 2014 summer babies I discussed above, their parents had already decided to hold them back a year. [/quote]
