[quote=Anonymous][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] As schools start earlier in the Midwest and the South, they didn’t want 4 year olds in Kindergarten. [/quote] That's a pretty vague thing to say. There's a world of difference between a 4-year-old who's just had their birthday and a 4-year-old who's about to turn 5. I agree that a child who's just turned 4 is way too young to start Kindergarten, but I can't see why being 4 for the first few weeks is such a big deal. It's not like they'd be 4 the whole year.[/quote]
