[quote=Anonymous]There are some issues with having a September birthday and there are reasons I might want to hold a kid back, but they all have to do with other issues that are not academic. The two biggest are sports and camp. Sports -- A lot of the cutoffs for Ux are in June or July. So in order for my September birthday son to play soccer with his classmates we have had to get permission for him to play up. Camp -- my daughter had finished pre-k, but in order to go to an art camp she had to be 5 by some artitrary date. At not yet five she could hold a pair a scissors and draw better than either of her older brothers, but the camp stood by their rules and so most of her school buddies went but she could not. I ended up not sending any of my kids there. We have been able to get permission at other camps to move up into the next age bracket. [/quote]
