[quote=Anonymous]My nephew is one of these kids, and i'd like to echo the PP that said sometimes it's the school not the parent. His birthday is in the middle of August. He completed Pre-K at a public school, and when his parents went to enroll him in his sister's private for K, they would only admit him as a Pre-K student even though their actual cut-off for Kindergarten admittance was 9/1. Even with those factors, he was not the oldest student in his class. Next year for Kindergarten there will be several of his friends who have been 6 years old for months. At the beginning of the school year, I could see their reasoning as he wasn't as mature as my other nephew who while born in the same year had a much earlier birthday (February vs August). But by the end of the school year, the differences between them had virtually disappeared and my nephew was extremely bored with Pre-K. To his private school's credit they did well with adapting material to fit his needs. [/quote]
