[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in DC and my kid was born August 30. Most of his class has now turned 17 and he is only 2 months into being 16. I absolutely regret not keeping him back so that he'd be within a few months of his classmates. Instead, he's almost an entire year younger. [/quote]

You did nothing wrong. Your son is in the graduating class he should be in. Almost every state in this country, as well as the entire UK, agrees that someone his age should be in the graduating class of 2023. It's the parents of his classmates who went against the rules. Don't fall for the trap of thinking that the rules should be different just because the majority of people in a certain area don't follow them. Now I know that at many colleges, the fall term starts in August, but even if your son goes to such a college, he won't be 17 for more than a couple of weeks. He'll be 18 the vast majority of his first term, even if the college he goes to follows the quarter system instead of the semester system.[/quote]
