[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If everyone entered Baltimore privates in K, then you'd be correct. Parents of children who enter after that point may not have been aware of the pre-first pattern, and can be blindsided. At that point, schools are accepting children based on more data so birthdays don't loom as large when it comes to placement and a summer birthday kid can end up in the "correct" grade instead of recommended for the grade below. But in general, I agree with you. In Baltimore privates, if you have a summer birthday kid, he or she is doing pre-first, and may do pre-first if there are other issues. It's an entirely normal part of the progression, and the weird kids are not the old-for-grade kids but the on-time summer birthday kids or the rare grade skippers.[/quote] "pre-first"? Have the Baltimore private schools figured out a way to get parents to pay for 14 years of private-school tuition instead of 13?[/quote] in short, yes[/quote]
