[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle and high school is where the very young child is at a particular disadvantage. [/quote] Yes, I have a neighbor whose child started school in another state where the cut-off date was December 31. The child made the cut-off by only a few days. They moved here, where the child was at least 15 months younger than the oldest in the grade. It was fine at first, but became a huge issue in middle school. Her interests and maturity level matched up much better with the kids in the grade below(who were actually her age) and she ended up being exposed to certain things before she was really ready. If they move again, the mom hopes she can get her back in the correct grade because she sees that it's a better fit for the child.[/quote]
