[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you in DC? We are in DCPS with a late August birthday and there are a ton of late summer and even some September birthdays at my kid's school. And most are boys, actually. There are also kids with October and November birthdays who are basically a year older. And it's fine. My kid does fine socially and is doing great academically. I can't imagine holding him back -- he's in K and learning to read and it seems nuts to me that we could have him in PK4 now. I think he'd be really bored.

It may be different in private school or in other districts. I think it's really hard to redshirt in DCPS, so we never considered it and it doesn't seem like anyone else did either. In august, we have a birthday party every weekend with friends from his grade, and have even talked about doing a joint party one year since summer birthday parties can sometimes be tricky.

I would not worry about it.[/quote]

Same. My kids all have September birthdays and all went on time in DCPS. The vast majority of kids in their grades went on time too, and many with July-September birthdays. There are only a small handful of girls and boys who were born in the year prior.[/quote]
