[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team spouse. He's going to be so tall, look so much older than his class. And here's the reverse of the high school/college argument - think about how old he will be senior year and how young the girls will be. Get a lawyer.[/quote] For a July birthday? Nah. But I agree she should think about college. Almost all elite private schools will redshirt July boys. (Some even May and June.) There’s already a huge gap in privilege and achievement between elite privates and mediocre publics. The older kids in private only exacerbate the issue. You really want your kid to be the youngest in the grade competing with students nationwide who are a full year older than him? Only reason not to redshirt is financial. I’d pay for another year of pre-k unless it meant eating ramen.[/quote]
