[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We redshirted a September birthday for DCPS PK. I never regretted it. We ended up moving to a top private for high school and those schools have a Sept 1 cut-off and many summer birthdays are held back. As a Sept birthday, our kid was probably at the 70% for age in the class. He graduated last year top 10% in the grade, perfect SAT, socially very strong (an incredible friend group), leader, went on to an Ivy. Sure, maybe he would have been the exact same outcome if he went to school a year earlier but in our experience there was ZERO downside to waiting. Also---I am SO, SO grateful for having another year with the kid at home. 17-18 years go by so quickly. Kids have their lifetime to be an adult, work, etc. The years at home are incredibly short. [/quote] This delusion pretty much says it all - there is no way can know that this will be the outcome for a full year old. I guess this does give PP something to brag about.[/quote]
