[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’ll have to reach out to your school board.  A redshirted spring/summer birthday would be turning six before K not 7.  [/quote]

+1 this is something else going on, if they’re 7 at this point in the year, in kindergarten [/quote]

Makes even less sense that the school would put all of these kids in a single class instead of spacing them out!  [/quote]

They very well could be spaced out and they just have that many old kindergartners. This happens at my kids’ school. Mine all have spring/early summer birthdays and holding them back didn’t cross our minds.

They each have many kids in their grade that are 12 -16 months older than them. They are not sn kids (which would be understandable). They are neurotypical kids whose parents are looking for an advantage. Unfortunately, it works as there is 1 “advanced” class (not dc area) in each grade and these classes are dominated by the kids who were held back to start, so of course they seem more mature and “smarter” at the end of kindergarten. There’s not a test to get in, it’s based on teacher recommendations. [/quote]

Yes, we have the same at the teacher’s discretion.[/quote]
