[quote=Anonymous]A Maret parent here. Its really not that bad at least in our class. There is a definite desire the school shows to hold back the late summer birthdays. But it is rare to see a spring birthday held back. So the spread tends to be 14 months or so rather than 18 or 19 months. Having said this, I disagree that parents do not want to give their kids a competitive advantage by being older. Its relatively mild, but most people acknowledge that "Susie will be a stronger candidate in a year". I know many of these kids very well and there is not a thing "wrong" with Susie other than she is a normally imperfect child. She may be a little shyer than average or may not write perfectly at age 5. And really nothing is being demanded of kids in kindergarten so its not because of crazy kindergarten demands. It is still a child's garden and very age appropriate, at least at Maret and other private schools. They do a lot of PE, recess, music, art. [/quote]
