[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the best article on it from the Atlantic. It advocates all boys starting later. I don't disagree from my own experiences as a girl student and also from seeing my sons and daughters. Boys just aren't as good as students as girls and lag in sitting still, paying attention and emotional maturity. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/10/boys-delayed-entry-school-start-redshirting/671238/[/quote] +1 I used to teach middle school, and by that age is it very obvious which boys have summer birthdays (and were not redshirted)[/quote] And, those kids are being age appropriate. How is that an issue? I don’t expect my young for the grade child to behaving a year older than their age as it’s not developmentally appropriate. And, yet academically they are one of the higher preforming students. Teachers need to have appropriate expectations for students. [/quote]
