[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... my three children have been in classrooms with students who were as much as two years older.  [/quote]
Are your children "right aged" for the classroom?  Or did you push them ahead a year?[/quote]

All three of my children turned 6-years-old during K with January, February and April birthdays.  My May-birthday child was in K with a girl who turned 8-years-old in February of K.[/quote]
First, you're confusing things when you change the months around.  Is it an April or May child?  Since we're counting months here, it matters.

Second, am I reading you correctly?  That means the 8yo child started K at age 7.5, while all other "right aged" children were starting at age 5?  Is she developmentally delayed? Or is this a "redshirting" issue?  (If a developmental delay, I think we'd all agree that puts a very different spin on the whole discussion.)

Third, if no developmental delay, I quite frankly have difficulty believing you.  Please name the school so others can verify your claim.  Also, that way, people will know which school is willing to engage in such extreme redshirting.[/quote]
