[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If parents are just going to redshirt every kid born in Sept/Aug why not just make the cutoff July 30 instead of Sept 30? Same result.[/quote] States and school districts are increasingly moving the cutoff up to July 30th, especially as the trend is also for an earlier start to the school year. I’m sure a 9/30 cutoff made sense back when K was half-day and school started after Labor Day, and when 1st grade was when many kids learned to read, and when there was barely any standardized testing until middle school. But now maybe an earlier cutoff makes sense. And no, it’s not “cheating” or whatever PP wants to say - it’s explicitly allowed by the public and private schools in this area.
