[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A child psychologist who's familiar with the school system might be a good resource to speak with to see what options you have.  I'm another late October birthday who ended up in K a year early because I started preschool in MD when the cutoff was Dec 31 and moved to rural PA where the cutoff was Sept 1.  My parents didn't want me to end up skipping a grade so they had me tested and approved for entry into K early for the PA school district.

I know that girls are different than boys, but [b]I also was smaller than everyone in my class and still ended up 1st in the class, top tier university, etc etc.  I never minded being the youngest.[/b][/quote]

This seems to be the case a lot of the time. I saw a NYT article about this recently and it said the majority of kids who start early end up at the top of their class.[/quote]

But of course that's the case.  Kids who start early are very bright.  That's why they're starting early.

There is more to life than ending up at the top of your class.  The girl at the top of my high school class was extremely awkward and had no friends.  I have no idea how old she was, for what it's worth.
