[quote=Anonymous]My husband was always the youngest in his grade (December birthday in a state with a January 1st cutoff) and absolutely hated it and was very adamant that we wait a year to send our September birthday boy to K. Plus I wasn’t redshirted but I was always one of the older ones due to my November birthday (cutoff was October 1st where I grew up) and loved it, so it was just a no brainer. Now he’s a freshman in high school and we’ve never spent a second regretting our decision! He’s never been much into sports, but he is pretty much right in the middle of the pack for everything else — academics, social skills, maturity, etc. Anecdotally, I have talked to soooo many parents about this issue and rarely, if ever, come across folks who say they regret waiting, but DO come across plenty of folks who say they now realize their kid could’ve benefitted from another year.
