[quote=Anonymous]Wait? His preschool teachers are worried about him being an average of a few months younger than his classmates? That's absurd. And considering that there's almost a month between his birthday and the cutoff on top of the fact there will probably be fall kids who test in early, I doubt he'll even be the youngest. Hell, I went to school with a boy who had skipped two grades. He started high school when he was 12 and graduated when he was barely 16, and your son's preschool are worried about him being almost 18 when he graduates. This boy excelled academically but he was very socially awkward. Both him and his parents think that it was a mistake to skip him two grades and I agree. I can understand parents who don't want their child to be two years younger than classmates, even if that's where they belong academically, but I can't understand parents who are so freaked about their child being an average of a few months younger than their classmates. Fretting over a few months' difference is absurd and ridiculous.[/quote]
