[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a kid in DD class whose birthday is just days before the cutoff. They didn’t start K until she was 6, almost 7. They are now in 2nd grade and I’m honestly so tired of this mom and her bragging about her “advanced” 9yo second grader.

She’s so great at sports, she’s reading above third-grade level (probably because she should BE a third grader, or older!)

I’m not so sure she’s advanced as much as she’s just older. Thoughts? Do I just ignore this woman or should something politely be said? [/quote]

I know someone like this. Child was redshirted with an early June (like June 2) birthday. For K she was like “I just hope it’s advanced enough.” It took everything in me not to say “maybe if you hadn’t redshirted how advanced K is wouldn’t be a concern.” But I held it in. Soon enough these kids will realize it’s awkward to be a year older than everyone in their class, and it’s not their fault. It’s the parents, but it’s annoying. [/quote]

They are not a year older. The June birthday will be the same age, or within a few months of several kids. She might not even be the oldest.[/quote]

A June birthday child that was redshirted will be a full year older than my late June child who went to K on time (and is doing great academically and socially in 3rd, by the way).[/quote]

but what OP is describing looks different. it sounds like a child born in september (not june) was redshirted. i.e. a child who was already likely to oldest was redshirted. honestly, i am not sure i understand - but she did mention that the child started K at almost 7?[/quote]

I was replying to the person who talked about an early June redshirted child.[/quote]
