[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People - and schools - do it on purpose. Children test better when they're older, they find it easier to handle the excessive workload, and they're likely to be more capable athletically. [/quote] I find this statement to be very insulting. The cut-off in our area is September 1st, and DD was born September 5th. Therefore, we were forced to redshirt and she has always been the oldest in her class. She's now 10 and in 4th grade. She's always been one of the top students in her class, usually gets perfect scores on tests, and reads well above her grade level. But according to you, she's only doing well because of her age, not because of her own personal intellect. Thanks. [/quote]
