[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our cut off date was Sept 1 and we had a mid-August baby who started K on time and she was the youngest in her class. She struggled and when we relocated after first grade we had her repeat the year and it really helped her a great deal and she never knew until years later that she had repeated a grade. The relo was fortuitous as I’m not sure what we would have done if we were at the same school. Some kids are ready, some are not and I think it really depends on physical maturity and the quality of the pre-school the child attended. [/quote] Mid-August is very different than January. My DS has a September 1 birthday and went on time (9/30) cutoff and has thrived socially and academically. Neither one of our anecdotes has any bearing on OP’s post. [/quote]
