[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Follow the rules for the area where you live.  Everything will work out.  Honestly, there are so many variables at work, and this one is the least consequential.  Kids are going to be more, or less, developed, ready, mature, etc., for various life stages.  You can't control that - you can only control how you handle each particular hurdle.[/quote]

This.  My DH is a November birthday in a late cutoff area and went to school on time.  I'm a July birthday that could have skipped a grade but my parents decided to keep me on time.  I often think if our parents hadn't made the decisions they did we never would have met.  We met thru friends of friends in such a way we had to be the same year in school for it to happen.  But of course when making the decision our parents didn't think, hey his/her future spouse is going to be class of whatever, so we need to make sure we delay/send on time/not skip!  You can't predict the future.  You make the best decision with the information you have at the moment and deal with hurdles as they come up. [/quote]
