I disagree with this attitude.  Those who put kids in Kindergarten who will be turning 7 DO affect others.  I should be able to send my summer child on time without kids being THAT much older than them (unless there was good reason).  Now my kid, who is following the age guidelines, is going to feel short or possibly behind in someway, when really they should be within the standard of normal.  Older kids in the class also change the teachers expectations of normal, and therefore DO affect others![/quote]

My March birthday son ended up being one the youngest in his class and happens to be one of the smallest as well. All the summer birthday boys were already 6 when they started kindergarten and then the rest of the boys turned 6 by December. DS (born late March) and one other boy (born in May) were the 2 youngest boys. The other boys born in the late spring/summer were redshirted. Someone has to be the youngest and smallest. In our class, it is my son.[/quote]
