[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only increase I’ve anecdotally noticed is of kids who have “borderline” birthdays (August/September kids), but not of kids older than that. [/quote]

That doesn't make sense. It's the kids born between October and December who have borderline birthdays. Even a kid born on September 30th is going to be older than roughly a quarter of his or her classmates. That can hardly be considered "borderline". [/quote]

OMG STOP. You are the only one who keeps ranting about kids with October-December birthdays because you refuse to learn that the vast majority of people posting here are in DC/MD/VA where our cutoffs are either 9/30 or 9/1. Hence the August-September kids being “borderline” here. Go back to, like, NYC Urban Moms or whatever you use there, or use your two brain cells to remember that school cut offs are different across the US, and NYC and surrounding areas are not the center of the universe.

Want me to further blow your mind? In a lot of the country, the cutoff is now between 7/31 and 8/15. As schools start earlier in the Midwest and the South, they didn’t want 4 year olds in Kindergarten. BOOM. MIND BLOWN. [/quote]
