[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sent my July birthday kid late, with a Sept 1 cutoff there isn't 17 month age difference in the grade. All the teachers encouraged giving the gift of time and I have never had a regret. I could not care less what any parent thinks of my kid being a few months older than any other kid.[/quote]

Of course [i]you[/i] didn't have any regrets. There was no [b]personal harm[/b] to you and your son. But think of those poor August-born kids who had to put up with someone 13 months older than them.[/quote]

What specific personal harm was there to anyone in this scenario?  You do you.[/quote]

Well, he probably won every class competition all throughout school, which means that whichever of his classmates deserved to didn't. He was probably valedictorian, which means that the salutatorian was wrongfully robbed of said title, and that whoever graduated 3rd in the class didn't even have a title at all, despite deserving to. He probably also went to one of HYP(or MIT), meaning that an age-appropriate candidate who deserved to go to one of those colleges was forced to forfeit a life-long dream. [/quote]
