[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're 1-60 days older than the next oldest kids, not than the entire class. So a redshirted kid with an August birthday could be 13 months older than another kid with a September birthday in the correct year. You don't think that can make a difference in middle school? This is why I asked if there were any middle school teachers on the thread who might weigh in.[/quote] Oh good lord. Let's set up separate classes for each month of age. And just to be totally precise, let's base it on gestational age. That's right, every mother should submit their LMP date so that no child is forced to consort with a child whose parents conceived them outside of the same 30-day window. Then all the children will be safe from exposure to other children whose cells began dividing in a different month. This will be good for everyone.[/quote]
