[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC birthday is mid-Sept and the cut off was September 1st. We thought it was unfair t[b]o hold back a bright NT kid for a whole year beca[/b]use he missed the cut-off by 2 weeks. DC took a special test to prove that he was ready to go to school instead of waiting for a year. This is how my kid was "Greenshirted". He thrived in school academically, in sports, socially and in various ECs. There was no ill-effects of being early. If you are capable of handling school, I don't see why you would want to be held back. I think most kids feel bad about being the oldest. There is nothing to be proud of, for being unable to handle school at the correct age. What message are you giving to your kid? You are too dumb to hack it at school unless you are older than your classmates?[/quote] You aren't "holding him back" if you follow the cutoff dates. That's asinine. [/quote]
