[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to assume OP doesn't know the date cutoffs in this area. No one in their right mind would hold back an academically advanced, 50% size, April birthday. That is nuts.

My son has an August birthday and is still not the youngest in his class. April is going to be middle or older than most.[/quote]

Agreed but is there anywhere in the country where the age cut off is May or June? I know in NY state it's December but that still wouldn't make any sense for OP.

This is one of the weirder red shirting questions I've seen asked on here, and I always read the red shirting threads because like you I have an August birthday we didn't redshirt and I'm always curious what the conventional wisdom is on that because it was a hard choice for us (and I've kind of concluded it's hard either way because there are downsides both to being the youngest and the oldest). I've always envied parents with kids who have winter or spring birthdays because they don't have to think about this.[/quote]
