[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I resdshirted a March birthday. My kid is an only, I am not lazy and my kid’s education is the most important gift I can give her. She is going full day, in person to Junior K. She may skip regular K if the private school evaluation recommends that. Distance learning is a joke for the very ones. I would rather her be the older smartest than younger dumbest in class. [/quote]

So the fact that she was already slated to be in the oldest quarter wasn't good enough? You needed her to be at-least 10 months older than anyone else? How are her December-born classmates supposed to compete with someone 21 months older than them? And as for your last sentence, your daughter probably will do much better than all of her classmates, but it won't be because she's smarter. It'll be because she's ridiculously older.[/quote]

What cut off puts a March birthday in the oldest quarter? School cut offs are getting earlier and earlier all the time. Where are you that the cutoff is Dec 31 for entering K? That's not the reality for many people so you are likely applying a set of rules that doesn't apply in this situation. The chart below shows how out of date your assumptions are about the age spread of kids in the classroom are. Are you in Connecticut applying the before Jan 1 rule?
