[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does this rule work for older kids? My child has a September birthday. He started school in Montgomery County, which has a 9/1 cut off. We moved to dcps after he finished 2nd grade and I am grateful that he wasn't required to skip 3rd grade and go into 4th (which is the grade he would have been in if he had started in DCPS).[/quote] I think your very particular case is what "principal discretion" is intended for. Look at the individual child and the particular circumstances that were not manipulated by entitled parents. This is clear "red shirting" intended to give their kids unfair advantages over everyone else. Size for sports, attention, fine motor skills, language development, etc etc. All so their kids are always at the top of the class from day 1. [/quote]
