[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in 11th in a popular DC private and birthdays are all over the map.  Plenty of kids "redshirted" who are turning 18 sometime during the school year or summer before 12th.  It's just not that big of a deal.  It all evens out by high school, and a little extra maturity for a boy is rarely a bad thing.  I wouldn't over think it.

If you are really opposed, then try to convince the school to let him enter in K or find another school.  If you're just surprised but not opposed (and if your older kids have had great experiences there), then trust the school and take their recommendation - they've seen hundreds of kids come through their doors and they probably know if PK or K is better for your kid for the PK and K cohorts that they are designing.[/quote]

It’s actually a huge deal.  Those kids should be going to college.  What’s going on at that school if they have so many immature kids?   The school failed them if they are 18 year old seniors and immature.  [/quote]

Turning 18 before graduating is completely normal.[/quote]
