[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my community it's the opposite, there is literally one boy who is red shirted who has an August birthday- but he is tall for his chronological age (so the tallest, easily, in first grade this year in his class since he is the oldest).  He is also relatively bright, and very athletic.  He stands out as clearly older, and there is every now and then a "... how old is he?" comment.  All of the other August kids I know were sent on time (sept 1 cutoff).  I have some sort of hard to shake grudge against the mom of this kid, because her kid is kind of exclusionary and not particularly nice towards my kid, who is a July boy who was sent on time so in his class but almost a year younger.  He will say things like , "you can't come into my fort, I don't want to play with you" and invite in the older boys.   I feel like he has a sort of "king of the castle" attitude and in my opinion it probably comes at least in part from being the oldest, tallest, and fastest kid in the class- because, no s***, he is supposed to be in the next grade up. I don't really think his attitude is going to do him a lot of favors in the future and I feel like his parents could have avoided it by just sending him on time, where he would have been middle of the pack in second grade.

Wow you’re incredibly judgmental of a child. Sad for you [/quote]

If you read my post you’ll see I’m actually judgmental of his mom . I state it pretty explicitly. And no, I don’t particularly like her kid because he is rude to mine and treats him like he is a baby. But I clearly state I think it’s his moms fault not his! (Yes I should probably blame dad too but I don’t know dad, only mom)[/quote]
