[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] Kids in other states START at 4yrs old. 5 is normal and even older in other states. Kids starting ages 6 and 7 are absurd. They are going to be 2-3yrs older than other college freshman. [/quote] Who keeps saying this? If a student is held back for 1 year, then he is 1 year older than the other kids. Not 2-3 years! As a senior, the kid will be 18 turning 19 instead of 17 turning 18. And how many red-shirted kids are in your kids' classrooms? I've got 3 elementary kids. In one class of 28, there are two kids who were delayed in starting (two Aug b-days), In another class of 26, there is one kid (Sept b-day). In the third class with 26 kids, there are two kids (one May b-day and one Aug b-day) This is in a big FCPS elementary school. Relax, people.[/quote]
