[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are ages verified for those claiming to be under 18?[/quote] How are ages verified for any of the "undocumented" (illegal) immigrants?[/quote] It is difficult. I posted about the 15 year and 364 day old 7th grade student. We had our doubts that he was ONLY that old. He had an extremely mature physique, which happens sometimes, but his facts about his age didn't really add up. We need better answers about how we are going to group children in schools. If we are using age, which we do as evidenced by the focus on birth dates at the K and 1st grade entry points, then we also need to be looking at age for the older children, too, when they are placed in to an older grade level. Our process now, where there are huge disparities between the average age of the students and the age of the older new students, is fraught with problems.[/quote]
