[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting. Because of where we lived at the time, ours started kindergarten at 4 despite turning 5 in late November, and never had any problems. This sounds specific to your son, not all boys born at the same time.[/quote]

Same here. My late November son is at Stuyvesant, 15 going on 25, cruising along on his own academically, wins debate awards and has a girlfriend *much to my chagrin*. Doesn't drive but he's got the subway and citibike.  I haven't had to escort him anywhere since 7th grade.[/quote]

That’s probably because you live in New York City for the cut off is December 31. That’s highly unusual. And New York City is very strict about not allowing red shirting.

Where is in the vast majority of the country, the cut off is sometime in September and a lot of people redshirt even Gina July and even April and May birthdays now, particularly for boys. So in most parts of the country, I November boy would be very young compared to his peers.

Your campus more in line age wise with his peers[/quote]
