[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now April is counted as a summer birthday? There's a lot of high priced spin being thrown back and forth on this thread...[/quote] The large majority of kids held back are summer birthday boys. April comes in because lots of educators/administrators/pediatricians/moms say that generally, in terms of maturity, at age 5 boys are 6 months behind girls. So in some circles April is used as a the month to start considering whether a boy could use an extra year. It's meant to level the playing field, not advance the boy. But in my many years of experience, April - May hold backs are rare and pre-April hold backs are practically nonexistent (but much ballyhooed). [/quote]
