[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I've definitely seen this more with boys than girls.

If girls had birthdays past April or May, they were sent at the age of 5. If boys had birthdays in April or May, they were held and put into K the following school year. Just my observations.

I've definitely seen kids start school at 6+ and then they are turning 7 in K, 8 in 1st grade, etc etc. You can also add in maturity to your decision - some kids just aren't ready and some are. [/quote]

What about August/ September? That seems like the most likely to redshirt since they would otherwise be 4 when starting.[/quote]

For girls (mine included) who turned 5 in August and September, they went. There was a girl in her class that turned 5 September 30.

For boys, they seemed to be Jan/Feb/Mar/April (at the latest) birthdays. Not many boy birthdays in her classes that turned 6 that K year. Definitely 7 though.

Are you a teacher? If not, why do you have all this birthday data?[/quote]
