[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the school is just don’t care. they have no incentive to do it. Older kids are easier for them.[/quote] This. I was going to go further and say that the schools actually prefer it. Publics can’t come right out and say that since it’s an equity issue (poor people can’t afford to keep their kids home an extra year or pay for more daycare) but privates say it all the time. At the top private in my city, they rarely allow boys who are the right age to start on time - they prefer them all older. Then they can dominate in competitions. Kids should always be compared against others in their birth year for college entry, sports, etc.[/quote]
