[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why this is such a big deal.  Most 8th graders will turn 14 at some point during the year, and many will be almost 15 at the end of the school year.  So it's not that big a difference.  14.5 is probably the norm.[/quote]

My child turns 13 during 8th grade so that’s a two year age difference.  It’s a big difference.  [/quote]

Your child was 12 in 8th grade?  That is not the norm at all!  Most are 13 and turn 14 that year.  My 14.5 year old just finished 8th and my 12 year old is now going into 7th.  And we sent them on time.  Your math seems off![/quote]

Your math is off, my child was 13 the entire 8th grade year. [/quote]

All the birthdays my child attended in 8th grade were for kids turning 14.  Nobody was 12, turning 13.[/quote]

My child will be 12 turning 13 in 8th.  [/quote]

What month? If this is true, then your kid started kindergarten when they were 4. So they had to turn 5 fairly early in the year (depending on your state’s cutoff), or they wouldn’t have been allowed to go. So you’re being disingenuous at best. Your kid was 13 most of the year in 8th grade.[/quote]
