[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a K teacher, I can tell you there are plenty of kids who would benefit from another year.  Has nothing to do with academics.  I don't understand why some people cannot understand that.[/quote]

Why can't we put those kids in a separate class?  An "older kids" K or something?  I don't care if other kids would benefit from an additional year -- I don't want my kid confronted by those bigger, older, bossier kids just because she's starting school at the generally-accepted "right" time.

I always tell myself that I won't participate in these idiot fests, but seriously, do you not realize how daft you sound? I have custody of my nephew. He and my son are one month apart. My son was born Sept 4. Nephew was born Oct 8. They are both 4 right now. they will each turn five within two months. They are peers in every way, including age.

One of them would be required to go to Kindergarten this year if we did not redshirt. So, your little kid isn't going to be "confronted" by my son next year any more than your kid is going to get "confronted" by my nephew, who is just 34 days younger. [/quote]
I have 2 sons with similar birthdays (one in Sept, one in Oct, 2 years apart).  These claims of bigger, bossier, bullies for the older kids are so ridiculous.   [/quote]
