[quote=Anonymous][quote]Please spare us your lectures. We know what parents are for and I can guarantee you that we are not in "big trouble.' It may just be that we expect a bit more honesty and openness from our children's schools than you do. If schools are so open about not-younger-than age cut-offs why should we not know if there is a not-older-than cut-off and why would it require "some mythical authority" to get access to this information.

By the way, how would you suggest a parent find out the age-ranges for classes at a school? If they can't rely on the school for this information, do you suggest they survey the parents asking for birth certificates?[/quote]

Do you also feel schools should reveal age ranges in their classrooms as well as test performance scores and ranges to help your child decide whether to apply or matriculate?

I have no qualms with releasing such information.  It has no baring on my assessment of my children's record, performance, temperment and capability to date.  Older children and 99.9 percentile WPSSI scores are irrelevant in that critical thinking process.  The height and weight of his classmates would have no influence those decisions either.  Those parameters would not be the deal breaker and have me scampering for the valley.  Key are the teachers and the rigor, challenge, breadth, depth and variety of the curricula and whether these matched my children's needs.   appropriately.

The age, height, and weight of the young classmates are superfluous and meaningless!![/quote]
