[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an early September baby and the cutoff is Sept. 30. He's not even near kindergarten, but I'm redshirting 100%. I can afford childcare and there's no reason for my child to be the smallest in their class. Plus, an extra year of childhood. If you want to start your 4-year-old in kindergarten I don't care, but many of us make a different choice.[/quote] No one is talking is concerned about you not starting your 4 year old in K. This is about starting a 6 year old in K. A six year old who turned 6, 4 months before school started Further this now 5 year old seems to be on track. You are not doing your child a favor by starting him late. He will not like turning 19 at the end of HS. And unless you intend to lie about his age, people are going to know how old he is. It is not just a being nosy thing. It comes out naturally. For example we typically put kids ages on birthday invitations. [/quote]
