[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in Bethesda and the vast, vast majority of August boys we know are redshirted. August girls are 50/50, and July is probably 50/50 for boys and 25/75 for girls. June and before is a lot less common. These reports of 7 year olds in kindergarten are just so over exaggerated IMO.

I don’t even understand how you would have a 7 year old in K unless you held back a child with a birthday in Jan, Feb, March, April, May, or June.  [/quote]

Right and that happens in Fairfax county. I personally know of April, May, and June kids held back in FCPS. [/quote]

I still don’t understand. The rules are what they are and may provide some flexibility for those late summer birthdays, but if  an April birthday is being held back, it must be bc the kid has an SN correct? All I’m saying is you don’t know the situation behind the kid so why are people so fired up - especially about holding back kids with Jan-May birthdays. I’m sure that would not be permitted without a special circumstance. [/quote]
