[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I agree. My son is in 1st grade and there are a number of redshirted or otherwise held back boys in his class that are more than a year older. They are genuinely nice kids, but socially, they have nothing in common with a 6 year old. If too many parents do it, or too many kids are held back for academic or attendance reasons by the school, it creates an inappropriate social environment for the kids who are the expected age for their grade.

Are you honestly saying a 7 year old has nothing in common with a 6 year old? You can't be serious. I would guess 70% of 1st graders will turn 7 during 1st grade. [/quote]

A number of these kids turned 8 early this year, not 7.  Whatever, deny it is an issue if you want, you are not there.  Fortunately we are moving next year so it won't be an issue any more for us either.  [/quote]

We have two kids who turned 8 the past month or two in 1st.  The rest are 6 and 7.  Big difference between 6 and 8.[/quote]

You are talking about 2 kids.  As you mention the rest are 6 or 7.  Are these two kids really having that big of an impact on the rest of the class? [/quote]
