[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think more than anything you have to look at the culture of the particular school. At Janney (the school in question), Aug/Sept birthdays are generally held back. Therefore, the entire grade cohort shifts to be 2 months older. Kids aren't bored because all their peers are older too. At NW DC privates, the entire class is even older still (the private schools often hold back all summer birthdays and have a strict cut-off of Sept 1). Those kids aren't bored because all their peers are older too. Comments from parents whose kids aren't at Janney aren't really that relevant since it seems like Janney is one of the very few (if not the only) DCPS or Charter win which Aug/Sept kids are commonly held back. [/quote] Interesting. I wonder how this plays out at Deal (if at all) since I know it's not as common at Lafayette. [/quote]
