[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've got a brilliant solution. Parents who want their child to be the oldest should conceive in April so that their child is born in January. To be safe, they should probably conceive towards the end of April, in-case their child is born early. So to all those parents of December-born children who are considering redshirting because they're worried about their child being the youngest:

You brought this on yourselves(or rather your child). You decided to conceive in March. I think you ought to own up to your poor planning and send your child the year he or she is supposed to go.

Your birthday is a direct result of the time of year you're born is a direct result of when your parents decided to conceive. It wasn't just something that happened. If you want your kid to be among the oldest, plan ahead of time.[/quote]

+100 I can be a bit prickly but that poster has taken us to a new low.[/quote]

My child was due in Nov but was born in Aug (very early preemie). Cut off is end of Sept. What do you think was the right choice for him?[/quote]

It's what we call tough ****. Besides, parents who have fall kids in areas with a September cut-off should really try to get theirs kids tested in early. I disagree with anything but a calendar cut-off. A September cut-off is just too early and really random. Ideally, you want all the students to be born in the same year.[/quote]
