[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I agree that graduating high school at 19 or 20 fifty years ago would sound bizarre given a life expectancy of 60 or so years but with the life expectancy now stretching to 80 it would not surprise me that kids graduate from high school at 19 or 20 or begin college at 19 or 20. Take a look at the exponential numbers of students delaying entry into your beloved Ivy league schools (even encouraged to defer admissions). It's more important to get education right than rush to the "finish line" ill-prepared for graduate education or the real world. [/quote]

So parents who want their children to be 5-years-old in K are pushing their children to get into their "beloved" Ivy school.  Funny, we just wanted our children to be a kindergartener when they were in kindergarten and 18 when they graduated from high school.[/quote]

Funny, if you "just want" your children to be 18 when they graduate from high school, then you'll just have to hold those summer bday kids another year before kindergarten.  Just do the math.  And this is all some parents of summer bday kids want too.  [/quote]
