[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend that did private K and then enrolled in APS for her first grade for her October kid. APS evaluated the child and she was permitted to enroll as first grader. [/quote]

We did this with an October birthday girl. Maybe I’m the friend in question.[/quote]

Serious question, why would you want your daughter to be in high school turning 13 in 9th grade when there will be freshman boys turning 16 in 9th? Seems crazy. [/quote]

Because I don't think the difference between September 30th and October 2nd is actually a difference? Should I have induced labor two days earlier? And if she was born on September 30th instead, held her back?  She'll turn 14 at the beginning of 9th grade. Many of the kids will be 14 in 9th grade and turn 15 at some point. Turning 16 is 9th grade is what should be questioned, in my opinion. [/quote]

I happen to agree with you, but there are very, very few kids in the correct grade with September or even August birthdays. At least in our school. The wealthier the school, the more likely people will be to redshirt. So with October 1, you think your kid won't be the youngest by much, but in reality, they will probably be the youngest by 3-4 months. [/quote]
