[quote=Anonymous]When my son was in K he was on paper supposed to be the oldest in kindergarten because his birthday is two days after the cut off date. However, almost all of the August, July and June birthday boys were redshirted and almost half of the May with a sprinkling of April kids also redshirted. This is at an affluent public school. There were boys who were in the 99th percentile rank for height. My son is now in high school and so many of the redshirted boys are doing really, really well in sports. The 99th percentile kid is now 6'7" and is (and has always been) a really advanced student as well as good athlete. His parents have no regrets and it is going to be easier for him to hopefully be recruited in his sport. [/quote]
