[quote=Anonymous]This thread is so interesting to me (newer mom just getting familiar with current practice). I grew up in an area with a December 30th cut off and had a December birthday. I was sent to school on time and loved being among the youngest (not sure why, the kids who got to drive first were seen as the coolest) so kind of worried over my kids late October birthday. I figured they were born early so it might not be so bad but now realize others' want to have kids start later? I realize the idea is that kids do better in the earlier grades due to maturity, etc. but are there lost advantages in the later high school grades? (I guess getting a PhD at 27 vs. 28 doesn't matter for much so maybe a dumb question)[/quote]
