[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can still go about getting information on where your child is age-wise relative to the other kids in the class without asking for birthdates from the principal or teachers. The teacher can tell you whether your child is one of the younger children in the class without compromising personal information. I see nothing in this study that says the actual birthdate is relative, but rather where the child falls in age with respect to the cutoff for the academic year. Still see no need for requesting birthdates.[/quote]

In all fairness, OP didn't ask for actual birthdates.

OP asked how many kids in her child's class had a birthday that fell before a certain date.

Her exact words:

"I asked how many students have birthdays prior to X date. Just the number of students. My reason - wanting to know where my child stands age-wise in the class."[/quote]

OK, fine. Technicality. But OP still hasn't given a good enough reason to need this information. If the teacher tells you your child is on the younger side of the class, who cares exactly how many are older, or younger? At the end of the day, what really matters is where the child stands relative to where the child should be at his or her current age and not as compared to the other kids in the class. Stop being obsessed with others and focus on your own child.[/quote]
