[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone piling on OP needs to check themselves. [b]The magic birthday cutoff used to be Dec. 31 not all that long ago, recently enough that there are students still in the DCPS system who enrolled before the change - [/b]and it still is in plenty of places, like New York City. It was moved up pretty recently because - can we be real about this? - raising the average age in each class a few years ago goosed test scores, making schools look like their students were getting smarter and better educated (as opposed to just, you know - older on average than they used to be, with the smartest and most advanced students most likely to be affected.) There's nothing magic about the new cutoff that makes it holy writ that should not be questioned. [/quote] My daughter is a senior and started DCPS when the cutoff was September 30. So it can't have changed that recently.[/quote]
