[quote=Anonymous]I sent my DD to a private school with flexible cutoff dates - equivalent to a Big 3 (not DC area). I thought if she could pass the entrance exam, she'd probably be fine. I saw that socially she was behind for a couple years. She is also tiny for her age, so extra tiny for her grade. However, academically she's way ahead. At about 3rd grade the social piece caught up. She's still small, but I cannot imagine holding her back now academically. It would have been a huge disservice to her. Yes, she is a fully 18 mo younger than some kids and a full year younger than most. She is also a year ahead of them in reading and 2 years in math. Her sport is gymnastics, so the small size helps. If her sport was lacrosse or tennis, I might have a different opinion.[/quote]
