[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If parents are just going to redshirt every kid born in Sept/Aug why not just make the cutoff July 30 instead of Sept 30? Same result.[/quote] Then the parents of kids born in May/June/July will be wringing their hands about when to send their kid to school. Someone has to be the youngest. My kid was born in mid-September and went to K a couple months before he turned 5. He is thriving academically, has been the top of his class every year, and will be in AAP next year. He's got friends and is OK socially. He does seem to have some trouble with impulse control and I get calls from the school every couple months. I'm guessing waiting a year might have helped this, and will always question our decision. But... I have a feeling we would have had different issues if he'd been the oldest and the smartest in the class instead of the youngest and the smartest.[/quote]
