[quote=Anonymous]Very few US states have 31 December cutoffs. California is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Research has shown that children who turn five before they begin K do better overall. That is why so many states over the past couple of decades have changed over to cutoff dates in September. The curriculum is aimed at children who have turned five in the twelve months prior to 30 September, so your December birthday child really should be fine. I wouldn't worry about her repeating material. She will be a year older than she was the first time she covered it and thus, will have a different perspective on it simply because she will have gained a year's maturity. Also, a different teacher will cover the curriculum in a slightly different way. Even having a a different group of classmates will create differences in the way the material is gone over. Many times there is something new to learn even in a topic that has been covered before. [/quote]
