 OK, here we go, again, HOW MANY NON Aug/Sept kids are being red-shirted? Not many! This is just a non-issue and the only ones complaining are the ones sending their AUG/SEP birthday kid. And to that I say, make a choice and respect others' choices. Amen! If your kid is not an Aug/Sep birthday, please stop threading about this issue as it in NO WAY impacts your DC.

Great statement.[/quote]

Except it's false.[/quote]

Of course, it impacts my children.  It changes the standards and expectations of the elementary school classroom.  I'm not wild about my children going to middle school with 15 year-olds and to high school with 20-year-olds.[/quote]

If, as a parent, you believe that your child is too young for the curriculum as it stands, then you can choose to send your child a year later. It is your right and can be a good move for many children. Don't let people tell you you have to send your 4 year old just because he or she turns five before 30 September.

(I have yet to see large numbers of 15 year olds in middle schools or 20 year olds in high schools, so that"s not a big factor to worry about.)[/quote]
