[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started college at 17 (october birthday). I’m a teacher and one year had a 6th grade class with a 9,10,11,12, and 13 year old out of about 20 students. The massive age gap was obvious in the classroom and made teaching and social relationships difficult. [/quote] What? For there to be a 9 year old in 6th grade, that means they were 3 in kindergarten. GMAB. Do you think people can’t add and subtract? Either you’re lying, or that kid was a genius, in which case (s)he had no problem keeping up with 12 year olds in 6th grade. Same with the 10 year old who started K at 4. :roll: [/quote] Yeah, “9 year old in 6th” sounds like BS. And how old were they all on 9/1 vs. 6/15? It’s totally normal to have 10 & 11 year olds at the start of the year. And 11 & 12 year olds at the end. Without any redshirting. So 10-12 is normal age range. Spring redshirting (13) is rare. And so is skipping a grade (9). [/quote]
