[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two spring birthday kids. We started them both on time. Both have kids more than a year older than them in their grades. Kids with drivers licsenes in 9th grade, bar mitzvahs in 6th etc. I cannot imagine having a 19 year old high school student under my roof. They would be bursting at the seams to get out and be much more rebellious than kids normally already are. Plus, the message I would have sent to my kid, "sorry deal, I didn't think you would be able to be on par with your peers so I gave you the gift of an extra year so you could compete with a younger cohort" Yes, THAT is a winning message. [/quote] Spring is obviously different from summer. Late June, July, and August kids won't turn 18 while they are in high school. [/quote] My held back July child will be 18 throughout senior year, turning 19 the summer before college.[/quote]
