[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too old.

I don't understand why so many people are doing this.

It means that when my kid goes on time, [b]there are kids in the class that could be a year older than my kid[/b]. I don't like it at all.[/quote]

Yes, and? This is going to happen even if everybody goes on time, unless schools start instituting half-year grades.[/quote]

If the OP redshirted her kid with a March birthday and there was a child from PA, NY, etc.. who transferred with a Dec birthday on time, you do realize the kids would be 21 months apart in age in the same grade. Their cut off is Dec and 4yr olds start K in those states and many others.  The fact OP wants to send a kid that is 6.5yrs old into his first day of K is pathetic.  [/quote]

THIS!!!  Of course there will be a year span in the grade.  It is people like OP that create 1.5 year spans and that is ridiculous and not fair to the summer birthdays.  It shouldn't even be allowed to hold back a March birthday!!!! If the child ends up having special needs or issues those will be there regardless of what year he goes to school.

OP- Send your kid.  It is RIDICULOUS to hold him back.  Lots of Kindergartners have trouble sitting still.[/quote]
