[quote=Anonymous]PP with the quesion of how extensive this is.... Most of the time the parents are really quiet about age when their kids are held back a year so I can't tell you the exact number. I would say it is very common for summer birthdays and even somewhat common for spring birthdays. I knew three parents with younger siblings the same age as my DS. One had a spring birthday, another a summer birthday and another a fall birthday. Only the fall birthday started on time. The school isn't big so ancedotally that is a big number. To the PP who says they teach to the standards of the grade not the standards of the students that are in that grade sorry that is not true at my school and I doubt that is true at most schools. I'm sure there are kids who need to stay behind but based on the kids/ parents I know who are doing it are doing it to give their kids a perceived edge.IE Kids who can read fluently but need another year to mature.[/quote]
