[quote=Anonymous][quote]+1 People get irritated at the parents of the redshirted kid who is born 6 months before the cutoff, without no obvious developmental issues, but the parents decided to hold him back because he wasn't yet reading Cat in the Hat before kindergarten and his parents were afraid he would be average. And then when the kid enters kindergarten, he's like 1.5 years oldest than the youngest kid.[/quote] Irritated might be too strong of a word, but yes, it's weird when these kids with February/March birthdays get their learners permits in 9th grade and graduate from HS months after turning 19. Especially if the parents did it for bragging rights, which is probably not uncommon. Starting a September birthday kid a year late is not cheating. I didn't do it with my September kid, but I thought he was ready and he didn't have great options for another year of pre-school.[/quote]
