[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are not in DC. My kid’s birthday is literally on the cutoff date- we are holding him back. He would probably do fine but he is a bit immature so we are holding him back. If his birthday was 2 months before the cutoff I wouldn’t have hesitated in sending.[/quote]

They are all immature at that age. Give me a break. [/quote]

This!  Its only slightly a problem in public because  of the academic expectations.  In private its only a problem because everyone is trying to redshirt for advantage.  Otherwise it’d be perfectly fine.[/quote]

BS, my child is at one of the top DC private’s which has a class of 30 or so students in his grade. There are at least 3 June, 2 July, and 1 August birthdays. None are redshirted. 
A low level private like mater dei does this practice often I hear, but not at my child’s top school. [/quote]

What is BS, that their all immature at that age so its not really a problem, or the fact that everyone is red shirting for advantage?[/quote]

The BS comment was to the preceding poster who said it’s done in privates. That’s not true of all. [/quote]
