[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A quarter of the girls will be 10 by Christmas of 3rd grade?  I have trouble believing that.

My kid goes to an all boys private with a huge amount of redshirting and reclassing, and the rates aren't near that high.  [/quote]

No, a quarter of the girls will be turning 10 between Christmas and February. And yes, I agree that it is unusual. But this is a group that also absorbed a decent amount of 2019-20 kindergarten repeats from public schools (they missed 3 months of kindergarten, essentially) and a few other complicated situations.[/quote]

So 25% of her classmates were held back, not for 1 year, but for 2 years? Sounds like you need to switch schools. [/quote]

25 percent of the girls in this grade were supposed to start kindergarten in the fall of 2018, got redshirted, and then because of Covid were redshirted AGAIN?! Outrageous. I feel bad for OP’s daughter.[/quote]

You know those Montessori schools that combine a bunch of grades? It's kind of like that for these pandemic kids I guess. On the bright side, research shows that when you combine grades, it's the youngest kids that benefit academically. I feel bad for the oldest kids, actually. They are going to be so behind for their age. [/quote]
