[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This actually pisses me off as the parent of an August baby that you think putting a kid a year and a half older in her grade (without diagnosed special needs) is acceptable. [/quote]

WHY?  I have a September child and could not care less kids are that much older.  I wanted my kid the youngest vs. oldest.  If my kid can hold their own with kids that much older, especially academic, I'm very proud of him.[/quote]

I also have a late August born kid and I'm kinda with both of you. My kid is very tall for her age and extremely socially confidant. She always gravitates towards kids that are her size, which means they are almost always older. For the most part, she does fine and I don't think having a playmate 1.5 years older would impact her too much. But a classmate might be different. There's a lot of differences between 6.5 and someone barely turning 5. I don't think I'd be angry, but I might concerned about it and wonder at your apparent selfishness. [/quote]
