[quote=Anonymous]Except when schools allow red shirting it’s not an even playing field of kids with a range of ages within one year. I have a June birthday child who is the youngest in his grade (kids all figured this out and teacher confirmed this in earlier grades). The next youngest is a May birthday. There are about 5 birthdays in each month which means the 15 kids who would have been his younger cohort that year have been replaced by kids who are a year OR MORE older. Maybe not a big deal in kindergarten or first grade but certainly quite a difference in older grades now. It does change the dynamic when you are testing within grades and rank/percentiles matter...not to mention socially in later years. That younger cohort is just...gone.[/quote]
