[quote=Anonymous]I’m planning on having my late summer birthday kid start K when he’s 6. I don’t feel bad about it. He’s never been ahead of the game (actually a bit slow on all developmental milestones but never actually delayed enough to merit services). He’s also like 15th percentile in height. I doubt he will be winning awards by reason of his “advanced” age. I think he will just be more developmentally ready to sit and learn and interact with peers. If I sent him on time, you anti-redshirts would probably complain about how he requires too much of the teacher’s time and is making the class too boring for your gifted Larla. I was a late summer birthday and was one of the youngest in my grade. I always felt a little behind socially, slightly above average physically, and was top of my class academically (literally valedictorian when I graduated HS). I don’t think being a year older or younger means that much in terms of actual intellectual ability. [/quote]
