[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A private school that I am considering for my child has a rule that the child must turn 5 before September 1 (typical) but that a child cannot have turned 6 before July 1st of the year they start K. That way there is only a max of 14 months between the youngest and the oldest. I like this. [/quote] I like it. I really don't understand the later in the fall or even December cutoffs (I am looking at you New York). Pretty much everyone acknowledges that kindergarten has changed in the last generation. Gone are the days of half-day KG where you spent the few hours you were there learning how to be in school as much as you learned letters, numbers, etc. So it's time to make an update to reflect that. I think giving the Jul/Aug parents discretion is a good thing - that's probably what most people are doing anyway. People will still whine and want to make exceptions no matter what you do though.[/quote]
