What are you talking about?  The cutoff for K in almost every state is in August or September, so a July kid would be young for the grade.  October -December birthdays are among the oldest in most states.  A very few states have cutoffs in November or December, but they're the exception.   [/quote]

2 of the states with calendar cut-offs are California and New York, the combined populations of which make up roughly 20 percent of the country, so there's that argument out the window.[/quote]
Wrong.  California's cutoff has been moved to 9/1

Even if the California cutoff hadn't moved, that would mean that the vast majority of kids don't have calendar cutoffs.  
I'm not pro-redshirting, and didn't redshirt any of my kids.  I think the person (you..?) who shows up on every redshirting thread and acts like December is the cutoff sounds like a complete idiot, since almost everywhere, including the "DC urban" regions primarily served by this forum, have cutoffs in August or September.

CA’s cutoff has been 9/1 for a long time. I know this because my now-adult sibling was born on 9/2 and missed the cutoff. [/quote]
