[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This actually pisses me off as the parent of an August baby that you think putting a kid a year and a half older in her grade (without diagnosed special needs) is acceptable. [/quote]

WHY?  I have a September child and could not care less kids are that much older.  I wanted my kid the youngest vs. oldest.  If my kid can hold their own with kids that much older, especially academic, I'm very proud of him.[/quote]

It's not about you and what you are proud of, it's about your child.  And [b]it's about having 20 year olds[/b] in high school with 13/14 year old freshmen.  [/quote]

A kid with a March birthday, who started kindergarten at 6 instead of 5, will graduate from high school having just turned 19. So no, it's not about that.

Regardless -- I was 17 my senior year of high school.  I didn't even turn 18 until my freshman year of college, which means like PP, I wasn't 19 until sophomore year of college. That seems much more appropriate.  I can't even imagine having a 19 year old MAN in the same high school as a 13 year old barely teenaged freshman.[/quote]
