[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two boys with June birthdays.  I redshirted one and not the other based on their needs at the time.  Personally, I think there should be a lot more fluidity in grade placement, and grouping kids based on age leads to a lot of unnecessary work for teachers, too much competition between streets, and strains resource programs.[/quote]

This makes zero sense.  Grouping with large age gaps creates more work as kids with a two year age span are in very different places developmentally.  Holding back a June child makes zero sense.  I  hope you got your child evaluated and into therapy if they were having developmental issues.[/quote]

A kid with a June birthday is already on the older half. I bet that poster was simply bursting pride that their son outperformed kids 7-18 months younger than them all through school.[/quote]

Lol, theres no convincing you. I suggest you hold your kid back for two years just to make sure. Then she’ll outperform everyone in her class, or even statewide.

You clearly have no understanding of statistical distribution of ability, and assume all kids develop in sync by birth month. Also you don’t know a thing about education and learning.

FYI, when you have a simplistic view of a subject like you do, it usually is wrong. Life is far more nuanced and complex.[/quote]
