[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP with the quesion of how extensive this is....    Most of the time the parents are really quiet about age when their kids are held back a year so I can't tell you the exact number.  I would say it is very common for summer birthdays and even somewhat common for spring birthdays.[/quote]
I'm the one who was asking the "how many?" question.  I apologize, but I'm not totally understanding you.  I thought you were saying in your earlier post that there are multiple kids in your daughter's grade who are 2 years older than your daughter (and so 11 months older than the grade's August cutoff).  But now it sounds like you're not totally sure how old the other kids are, and you're referring to Summer and Spring redshirts (who would be a lot less than 2 years older than your July-birthday daughter).

Maybe I took your original post too literally.  When you wrote earlier about [i]"kids in her class [who] are up to 2 years" older[/i], were you really speaking just generally about Spring/Summer redshirts who are only 2-5 months older than the August grade cutoff?  If I misunderstood you, that's my fault.

Thanks for the clarification.[/quote]
