[quote=Anonymous]We had one boy turn 7 in April of Kindergarten. Which seemed way outside the norm. I don't know him or his family well, so I don't know if there was a story there, but that's what happened. We held our mid-September boy for a year, so he turned six the month he started school when he "should" have turned five the month he started school. But no way was he ready to participate in an academic environement at the "right" age - his teacher would've spent all her time correcting his behavior. In his class I know of two girls who turned five the first month of school, on August birthday (no idea if he turned five or six) and no redshirts other than my son and the boy who turned seven. We have a few other late fall birthdays, but they are on time, and a few "young" kids with June and July birthdays so they haven't turned six yet. We are in N. Arl.[/quote]
