[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not send a 4  year old to K, just don't do it. Especially a boy. There will be many boys in the grade with July, August, September birthdays from the year before. Do you want your 17 year old starting college with 19 year olds? [/quote]

They are turning 5 within weeks.  And, they are 18 in college.  You don’t want an 18 year old their entire senior year.  [/quote]

Why not?  I can tell you as a professor I don't want a 17-year-old college freshman (or one 5 minutes past their 18th birthday) who isn't absolutely extraordinary in their maturity.  Several months of growth and experience may not matter as radically in the later teens as they do in the preschool years - but they do still matter.[/quote]

Agree. Given how many summer birthdays are held back here (which is not possible in DCPS, where OP
Is coming from), OP’s kid would be 15 months away from the oldest in the class — possibly more. OP will regret sending the kid early by middle school. [/quote]

How many summer birthdays do you know are held back?   I only know of one and there were other real issues not age as the factor. [/quote]

In our school (BCC pyramid), most summer boys are redshirted. For girls they are a mix. [/quote]
