[quote=Anonymous]This question came up with our two oldest kids whose birthdays were 2.5 months and 4 months after the cutoff for the next grade up. We let the one with a birthday 2.5 months after cutoff go ahead after the school reached out to us and said it was the unanimous consensus of her teachers. We kept back the one with birthday 4 months after cutoff in the correct grade. Decision was not just based on the 1.5 month difference in relative age, but also on their personalities and maturity and input from the teachers. And a little bit maybe on the size and composition of the specific grades at their small private school. Because they attend a Montessori with mixed age classrooms, age differences are not as big a deal socially. [/quote]
