[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably OP was confused and did the math wrong. I have a summer bday kid and they went to school on time (so will turn 8 right before 3rd grade starts, just like OP’s kid). My kid is the 3rd youngest kid in the grade. The youngest was born august 31 (born August 2014) and the oldest kid in the grade turned 9 in May (born May 2013). So oldest and youngest are 15 months apart, not 18-22 months apart as OP claims. Even at small private schools, there are not more than a few kids born between September-April who are held back/“redshirted.  generally only June-August bday kids and rarely April-May birthday kids are redshirted, meaning the largest possible age gap would be 16 months and even that would be a very rare April redshirt. Most redshirted are still only 11-13 months older than the summer bday kids who go on time.[/quote]

What a stupid post. OP must be wrong because your child's school has a 15 month span between oldest and youngest. It never occured to you that a different private school operates by its own rules. [/quote]
