[quote=Anonymous]My DD is super old for her year (not due to redshirting; early Oct birthday) in a class with no redshirters. I hate it. She is very obviously more verbal and better socialized than her peers. She is several inches taller than most of the class. Some of this is genetics (she is tall for her age and verbal for her age), but obviously it is exacerbated by being the oldest in the class; the better socialized I think is only a function of age — she is about the same as all of her little friends with birthdays within a month or two of her. The teachers basically use her to model good behavior. I assume this will get less important as she gets older, but I 100% would have started her early if I could have. I think being younger makes you try and being older gives you a bad attitude because you are so much better at everything than everyone else. At least that’s my purely anecdotal experience.[/quote]
