[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's just the circles you run in? When my friends / neighbors have a kid in August or September the attitude is "You're so lucky! They'll just make the cutoff!" Redshirting an August baby in DC will cost you, what, $20,000 in childcare? Crazy. [/quote] We greenshirted our September born kid. It was ridiculous for us to have my kid wait for an entire year to go to school, when his classmates from the Montessori who were older by a few weeks were allowed to go to public school. We saved 15k for Montessori cost. Kid aced his early entrance admission test. He was reading before he entered kindergarten, and knew counting, addition and subtraction. The only challenge for us has been to get him enrichment because he is far advanced in curriculum. But, he is getting a lot of fun socialization. [/quote]
