[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school cut off for bdays here is Jan 1-Dec 31. So all kids in the same grade are born in the same year. I don't know any kids that have been redshirted here. Anyway, all this redshirting talk reminded me of this. My sister planned to have her kids in Oct, Nov or Dec because they would be home less with her, less daycare cost if she used daycare. She couldn't wait to have her kids in school asap. She thought having a kid in January was stupid, when you could have one in December and they would both start school at the same time. Looking back it was indicative of certain things with her[/quote] The school district I grew up in had a December 31 cutoff and there were 2 boys in our grade of about 40 kids with late December birthdays that were held back. This was in 1980, so it's not exactly a new thing. [/quote] I was held back in the 70s (bday was 15 days from the cutoff). No not new.[/quote]
