[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in DCPS, so I'm used to a hard cutoff and I think it makes sense. However, I'd be interested to hear if there would be any merit in keeping the September 30 cutoff for just the girls and pushing the boys up to something like July 30. Just to give the boys a couple of months more given they mature most slowly at that age. [/quote] Will never happen so no point in discussing. I think a flexible deadline for July/August/September birthdays only would make sense. Then parents could decide based on the individual child but there's still a hard cut off so redshirting would be limited. I especially feel for the parents of kids with September and late August birthdays. Sending your kid to K at age 4 must be tough, especially when K in DCPS can be very academic and require a lot of stamina and behavioral control. But different rules for boys and girls is a no go, will never happen.[/quote]
